Not Sure If EB2-NIW Is Right for You?
EB2-NIW isn’t suitable for everyone, and that’s something many people don’t hear early enough.
Before filing, it’s important to understand:
• Whether your proposed endeavor is strong enough
• If your evidence supports national interest
• What risks exist in your profile
Some people benefit from getting clarity before investing time and money.
I’ll continue sharing insights here for those navigating this process.

My petition got denied
My petition was denied, and I’m unsure about the next steps. I collaborated with Ashoori Law to draft my petition for a mobile application designed to help alleviate vertigo symptoms. I submitted four recommendation letters, including one from a licensed physical therapist who stated that my idea has potential, yet it was still denied. I have not received the details of the denial at this point. I feel indifferent about the situation and am uncertain about what to do next.

Subject: RFE on Pending I-485 in EB-3 While Requesting Interfiling to EB-2 NIW Self-Petition
#
Hello everyone,
I need some advice regarding my situation, as I'm feeling quite stressed.
Here's a breakdown of my case:
I have a pending I-485 in the EB-3 category, but my priority date is not current in EB-3.
Last year (July), my EB-2 NIW (self-petition) was approved, and my priority date is now current in EB-2.
My attorney submitted an interfiling request to transfer my pending I-485 from EB-3 to EB-2 in September.
Since then, I’ve been waiting for approval, as my EB-2 priority date is current.
I contacted a Tier 2 officer last week to ask whether my case is still in EB-3 or if it has been transferred to EB-2. After two days, I received a response saying my case is still pending with no visa available, and it seems to still be in EB-3.
Today, I received an RFE asking for an I-485J form for EB-3. The problem is that I left my EB-3 job after my EB-2 NIW approval, so I no longer have a job in the EB-3 category.
How should I respond to this RFE given my situation?
Should I respond solely with the EB-3 I-485J form?
Or should I submit the interfiling request again, or mention it in the RFE response?
I would appreciate any advice or insights from those who have been through a similar process. Thank you in advance!
