@mokhtar If you believe you have a strong profile, have it reviewed by a lawyer as soon as possible. If you receive positive feedback from them and have the necessary resources, act quickly! No one knows what might happen with the EB1A program, so… if I had the funds, that’s definitely what I would do. I’m waiting for my i140 (filed With one of the top law firms), since Nov 2023’.

@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ Thanks so much for your input! I’m just feeling guilty spending more money on filing EB1, but at the same time EB2 action date seems to be not promising. Do you have idea on whether the EB2 action date will move significantly or not? Thanks

@raza khan thnaks so much for your input. Hope things will move faster and I wouldn’t need to file EB1.

we may see little movement at the end of each quarter, that is for April/July. I am very hopeful you will be current in one of these visa bulletin dates.

I agree with the April movement, but right now, things do not look promising. Regarding the spending on the EB1A, if you can make it happen, I encourage you to go for it! As everyone here suggests, consult a good law firm to have your CV evaluated. If you receive positive feedback, then move quickly. Who knows? Maybe the EB1A will start the same NIW trend, and if you hesitate, you might miss the opportunity to apply and later regret it! @Mokhtar Rashwan

I just don't understand why did they make us file with dates for filing but have to wait until final action date is current. I am May filer too

are any of you guys using Eb2 niw ead card? Im confused to use it.

Same like yours my PD is June 13, 2023. I filed my i-485 in Oct 10th and gave biometrics and replied to RFE.

I'm thinking it's better to wait 🤔

@Zack Alim did you apply for EAD and have you gotten it after you went for your biometric, also how long did it take to get your EAD after the biometric?

visa bulletin out, please stop all negative posts and comments at lease you have EAD card, my priority day far than you current and I still waiting for EAD.

@olu mikk No I didn't apply yet for EAD

@Zack Alim Oh okay thanks

@Zack Alim yes I applied for EAD and got it 10 days after biometrics

@Roland GR ok thanks Respect!

@Zack Alim What was the rfe for?

Birth certificate and Medical

@Zack Alim I see! you haven’t submitted the medical with the I-485?

No I didn't

@Zack Alim Allam I see what was the issue with the birth certificate?

Translation was inaccurate
