I-140 EB-2 NIW PD 8/20/2020 Approved in 222 days (03/29/2021) Nebraska (NSC)
Evidence submitted: job applications in fields of proposed endeavor; employed at a different field at time of application; still looking for new jobs. 65 citations at time of application, two first-author, two second-author, 6 total; some peer review work; employer letter stating how my job helps in developing skills; personal letter explaining my goals; petition tied to how I’m addressing three points for NIW; three independent recommendations out of 5; some media coverage and recognition; of course also evidence of how it’s tied to national interest.
Had already obtained PhD in chemistry at the time of application, and was employed.
No RFE was issued.
Was on student F1-STEM-OPT status at time of application, although H1-B was already approved but was going to begin in October. Filed I-485 a month after filing I-140 so technically case is non-concurrent.
Still waiting for the actual notice to arrive in mail. I can raise the request if I don’t receive by April 13.
Update: law firm received my approval notice!
Attorney/Firm: weGreenEd
