代po ---- EB2-NIW Background: Ph.D. at U.S. University Current: Post-doc in biochemistry Location: Seattle 10 publication (7 first-authored) with ~80 citations Timeline: 08/15/2019: I-140 submitted (LIN) 10/01/2019: I-485, I-765, I-131, I-693 submitted (MSC) 10/31/2019: Biometrics appointment 12/12/2019: Receive EAD 02/07/2020: I-140 approved 03/03/2020: Contact Senator Cantwell for status inquiry, 1st 04/07/2020: Response: Pending background check 04/13/2020: Contact Senator Cantwell for expedite (essential personnel for COVID research), 2nd 05/14/2020: Response: Your constituent's case will be reviewed as soon as possible 05/28/2020: RFE for birth certificate 05/30/2020: RFE received by NBC 06/18/2020: Senator Cantwell inquiry, 3rd 07/23/2020: Response: confusion over who should consider the expedite request (NBC or field office) 07/24/2020: Contact Senator Murray for expedite, 1st 08/13/2020: Liaison at the field office email me RFE for Supplement J 08/17/2020: RFE received by field office including a letter explained Supplement J is not required, blank Supplement J (filled only applicant part), employment letter, paystubs, tax return, W2, essential personnel letter 08/18/2020: New card is being produced 08/19/2020: Case was approved 08/24/2020: Received approved notice 這一年的時間從板上吸收不少資訊，我的申請經驗可能有一些特殊的地方可以分享。首先體檢的部分，從uscis網站找到一個本校醫院的醫生符合資格，去抽個血，拿I-693用保險annual check全部cover。 I-140的部分有請律師，但我心得是如果能拿到petition模板，可能花一週的時間我應該可以寫出同等quality的petition，馬上省5000usd。後來從朋友那邊拿到他的I-140 petition，可能是領域接近，可以說70%左右都差不多，讓我感覺律師也是套膜版，其他不一樣的地方主要也是我寫給律師的部分。 I485的部分從去年10月壓完指紋一直到New card is being produced，中間狀態沒有改變過, 都是uscis fingerprint fee was received。副申請人五月收到出生證明RFE，原本I-485只交了英文戶籍謄本，年初已經想到有可能被RFE，根據板上訊息已請台灣家人準備好正副申請人的原始戶籍+ 翻譯+法院蓋章，所以連同主申請人的也一併寄回到NBC。另外副申請人的I-485上有勾了 public charge，當時在加州有申請medical但沒有使用，主要是給小孩用，所以每次有回信的cover letter上都有強調之後不會是public charge。聯絡議員的部分，因為研究有SARS2相關，希望可以加急。前兩次回應大致上很罐頭，第三次跟我說uscis不知道是filed office 還是 NBC來決定我能不能加急。所幸找WA的另一個senator，兩週之後跟我通知有一個七月的RFE沒回覆？我根本沒有收到這個RFE，他掃描寄email給我原來是要Supplement J。打電話給學校HR，說學校政策只幫學校 sponsored的case簽Supplement J，給我律師電話讓我諮詢。打電話律師說是uscis的 mistake可以幫寫RFE response，600usd。已經被寫grant & paper搞到每天強迫症的我，決定自己花一個晚上寫response。主要就是說uscus你搞錯了NIW不用交Supplement J，然後附上offer letter、paystubs和w2，再說一次不會是public charge 然後我對COVID疫情很重要，馬上usps快遞回去。隔天field office收到package，我立刻聯繫Senator Murray Office說Seattle field office收到了我的package，幫我催一下，結果下午狀態馬上改New card is being produced。折騰了一年，希望盡快看到這green card廬山真面目 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 209.249.20.6 (美國) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Immigration/M.1598343361.A.303.html
