从这个板上获益良多，也来分享一下自己申请EB-2 NIW的经验给大家。 因为Postdoc老板不同意在opt extension到期前帮忙办H1B，决定先自己试试看直接办绿卡 在网上请几位律师帮忙做Evaluation後，决定选择了一个大家都很推荐的律师。 从寄出I-140到I-485 Approved 总共耗时302天 (9 months, 27 days) 等待I-485总共154天 (5 months, 1 day) 经历过太太的combo卡名字打错，Call USCIS for service request 要求更新Dependent Combo Card; I-485 pending时使用Combo Card换工作到业界，收到太太 I-485 RFE, 要求证明婚姻的真实性。接下来耶诞节用Combo卡回了台湾一趟，入境的时候被叫去小房间 等了一个多小时。 回到美国後准备文件来证明婚姻真实性。一月初RFE response寄出，结果被USPS弄丢又找 回来，重新改用Fedex再寄一次RFE response。包裹於01/28平安抵达NSC。 2/6 收到email notice， 终於通过了！在这里跟大家分享一下我的背景跟timeline 希望对还在等待与准备申请绿卡的人有些帮助。 类别:EB2-NIW 领域: Molecular Biology/Gene Therapy/HIV 学历: ChE.
