What types of services related to NIW does Z&A provide?


For an NIW petition, the key point is to prove the national benefit that the applicant will bring to the US in his/her field. The importance of strong recommendation letters and a well drafted-petition letter to support such claims cannot be over emphasized. Therefore, if you prepare your NIW petition with the help of an experienced attorney, your chances for success are greater. Z&A proudly offers the following quality services related to NIW:

Experienced attorneys at Z&A will first evaluate your situation as to the options of your potential immigration petition. You may send us your resume either by email freeevaluation@hooyou.com or by fax at 713-771-8368. After reviewing your resume, we will give you initial advice on whether an NIW is applicable to your situation or you may opt for other channels such as EB-1(a), EB-1(b) or Labor Certification for your immigration petition.

NOTE: you are not necessarily limited to just one type of immigrant petition, and you may petition in two or more categories, provided you meet each category’s requirements.

After you retain us for your NIW case, we will

  • Provide sample recommendation letters applicable to your field, which can be used as a reference for the initial draft of the Letters of Recommendation;
  • Review and edit your Letters of Recommendation to improve their persuasive value and to tailor them to your specific situation;
  • Guide you to collect all the documents and information needed for your NIW petition;
  • organize all the required documentation for your NIW petition, including the signed recommendation letters;
  • Draft a petition letter that explains how the evidence proves that you should be granted a National Interest Waiver;
  • Submit the completed petition materials to the proper USCIS Service Center; and
  • Contact the USCIS to check on the status of your pending case.

If the USCIS makes a request for additional evidence on your pending case, we will respond and submit the additional documentation required for your case to the USCIS in time. As soon as the USCIS makes a final decision on your NIW application, we will inform you of the result.
