Success Story of the Week – Re

Success Story of the Week – Response to an NIW RFE is approved within 2 weeks! 最近，我们的两个I-140的RFE Responses 在递交后的两个星期内就被移民局批准。在此，我们想谈谈有关I-140申请及其RFE中应注意的一些问题。 Any potential beneficiary of an Immigrant Visa Petition (I-140) will tell you one of the things that they dread receiving the most is a Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS, especially in the case of a National Interest Waiver, Aliens of Extraordinary Ability or Outstanding Researcher or Professor-based I-140. However, in the current immigration environment, RFEs are very, very common. Sometimes these RFEs are simply requesting supplementary information that may have been included but was not found in the original petition package. Sometimes, however, these RFEs are essentially asking you to prove your entire case again. Often, the Service will note that, while the beneficiary is obviously a skilled researcher or scientist, it has not been established by the petition that the beneficiary has risen to such a level as to qualify for a National Interest Waiver, for example. It is then the duty of the applicant and the attorney to collect more letters of recommendation that may more accurately address the questions that USCIS has raised. It can be a tricky job, however, as the applicant and the attorney need to keep in mind that, while any accomplishments before the filing of the original NIW petition are fair game, accomplishments after that initial filing date are not to be considered by USCIS. For example, let’s say that John files his NIW-based petition in May of 2005. He publishes five more articles and accrues many more citations and awards in the last six months of 2005, and in February of 2006 he receives an RFE for his NIW petition. While he would like to include all of his recent publications, citations, and awards in the RFE to help bolster his case, because those accomplishments arose after his original filing, they will not be considered by USCIS as part of his petition package. At FAN, FITZPATRICK & THOMPSON, LLP, we are very familiar with the procedures and requirements of an RFE for these types of cases and we enjoy a high level of approvals for our RFE responses. In fact, recently we received two I-140 approvals only two weeks after submitting the RFE response. Through the hard work and cooperation with our clients, we are often able to demonstrate to USCIS what we already believe - that our clients are worthy of the National Interest Waiver or a determination as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability. ______________________________________________________________________________ 本文由范毅禹律师事务所提供 本律师事务所精办各类劳工应聘及专业移民申请 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，劳工卡，绿卡等申请)。所有申请由多位美籍律师及拥有15年经验的范毅禹律师亲自处理，我所并特设中英移民网站。内有最新移民新闻资讯及由律师主持的移民问答集，欢迎读者流览查询。 www.Fan-Law.com CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
