We just had a EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) I-140 petition approved without an RFE from USCIS Nebraska Service Center approximately two months after it was filed with premium processing. The applicant is an entrepreneur who is working on an innovative startup developing a new tagging technology for items in the manufacturing chain that is more cost-effective, secure, and counterfeit-proof than existing models. We persuasively highlighted evidence that the results of this research were being shared via industry conferences and other channels, and USCIS went straight to approval for this petition without issuing an RFE. NIW petitions are very subjective and require lawyers who deeply understand the rules and case law. With the NIW approval, the client is able to move forward with his green card once the priority dates are current. To learn more, take a look at our free resources below. You can also schedule a consultation at a date and time that is best for you.
