What to know!
When petitioning for a National Interest Waiver (NIW) under the EB2 category, applicants may encounter a Request for Evidence (RFE) from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). An RFE is issued when USCIS requires additional information or documentation to further evaluate an application. Effectively responding to an NIW RFE is crucial to securing approval for your green card. Here’s a comprehensive approach to handling an NIW RFE:
Responding to an NIW RFE requires meticulous attention to detail and a persuasive presentation of your qualifications and contributions. By diligently addressing USCIS’s concerns and providing comprehensive evidence of your eligibility and the national interest of your work, you enhance your chances of a successful outcome. Preparation and thoroughness are key to navigating this stage of the NIW petition process effectively, ensuring you move closer to securing your green card and continuing your valuable contributions to the United States.
