What is the application process for an NIW?

An NIW petition package consists of the petition(Form I-140), along with supporting documentation that the beneficiary is an "Advanced Degree Professional" or an "Alien of Exceptional Ability", as well as establishing that the alien meets the requirements for an NIW.

Among the most important types of evidence are Letters of Recommendations from experts and other authoritative persons relevant to the alien’s proposed work. Z&A can provide sample recommendation letters tailored to your field, which can be used as a reference by your prospective recommenders. We will review and edit your Letters of Recommendation to maximize your chances of approval. We will draft the petition letter on your behalf and gather all the required documentation for your NIW petition, including your signed recommendation letters. The completed petition package will be submitted to the proper U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) Service Center.

The USCIS will issue an official receipt notice acknowledging receipt of the application once it is received. We will provide you with a copy of this receipt as soon as it is received. The USCIS may make a request for additional evidence if it feels that there is insufficient evidence to decide your application. Our firm will assist in the preparation and submission of the additional documentation required for your case. When the USCIS makes a final decision on your NIW application, we will inform you of the result.

An NIW application generally takes anywhere from 3-9 months from the time it is filed with USCIS, depending on the particular USCIS Service Center that has jurisdiction. However, the length of time each service center takes varies considerably from time to time and even from petition to petition. For this reason a petition could take longer than 9 months or, in a few fortunate cases, less than 3 months.
