Background
Mr Ng, from Kaohsiung, applied with his wife and one child. He wanted a US green card through NIW.
Main concern
He had applied once before without an adviser and been refused, and worried about failing again.
Our approach
We rebuilt his evidence and proposed-work statement, addressing each reason for the refusal.
Process and outcome
He was approved about 20 months after resubmitting.
Adviser’s comment
A refusal isn’t the end; understanding the reasons and strengthening the case often succeeds.
EB-2 NIW application process
- Profile assessment and case strategy (1–2 months): We assess your education and experience and shape the argument for your petition.
- Prepare and file I-140 (2–4 months): Compile the evidence, recommendation letters and a statement of your plans, and file the I-140.
- I-140 decision (Premium processing about 45 working days): With premium processing, NIW petitions are decided within 45 working days; standard processing takes longer.
- Green card stage (Depends on visa backlog): File I-485 or attend a consular interview when your priority date is current.
