2011年三月批准的NIW及EB1-A/B I-140 申请及专业背景
In March 2011, Liu & Associates had nineteen (19) NIW, EB-1A, and EB-1B I-140 cases approved by the USCIS. Among the approved I-140 cases, five (5) were NIW, eight (8) were EB-1A, and six (6) were EB-1B cases. We had one EB-1A I-140 case denied in March 2011 caused by a USCIS administrative error – the USCIS adjudicator miscalculated a RFE deadline date, apparently having assumed that February had 30 days while it had only 28 days this year. We have filed a motion to request USCIS to re-open the case.
For credentials and background information of the approved NIW, EB-1A and EB-1B cases, please visit our website at http://www.niwus.com/Approvals.html. As we reported before, since the summer of 2010, USCIS adjudication of I-140 cases has been significantly slowing down. As a result, we had fewer I-140 cases approved in March 2011 than in a regular month before the summer of 2010. Also, as a result, a large number of I-140 cases have been pending over seven (7) months – the USCIS posted processing time for I-140 petitions. Recently we have received numerous inquiries in regard to the USCIS Interim Memorandum following Kazarian and whether USCIS has raised the bar for EB-1A, EB-1B and NIW petitions. So far, we have not seen a clear trend of change or USCIS policy shift regarding EB-1A, EB-1B and NIW adjudication. However, in wake of Kazarian, USCIS has adjusted its adjudication guidance of EB-1A and EB-1B, which have caused confusion and inconsistence of adjudication standards among the USCIS adjudicators. As a result, we have seen more Requests for Evidence (RFE) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID) in the past few months.
