Among our NIW clients at Success Immigration,
one filed the I-140 petition with USCIS not under Premium Processing
but as a regular filing, and received approval in about 5 months.
And it was approved on the very first try, with no RFE!
The client's processing timeline is as follows.
1. August 2023: NIW processing began with Success Immigration
2. February 29, 2024: I-140 petition filed with USCIS (regular filing)
3. July 20, 2024: I-140 petition approved by USCIS
The client's field is engineering, which falls under STEM,
and they work in display research and development at a leading company, with about 20 years of experience.
Highest degree: master's
They have a record of numerous awards, certifications, papers, patents, and completed projects.
Around the publication date of this post, USCIS's average processing time for a regular NIW I-140 filing
is, as shown below, '9.5 months'.
Given that average, receiving approval on a regular-filing NIW I-140 petition,
and in about 5 months at that, is truly remarkable.
Compared with the average I-140 petition processing time,
approval came a full 4.5 months earlier!
When filing an NIW I-140 petition, with the visa bulletin currently retrogressed,
the cost of premium processing can feel burdensome.
Some people want to hear the approval news quickly through premium processing,
but because the visa bulletin is stalled, even after petition approval
you cannot move straight on to the NVC stage,
so for some, applying for premium processing feels like a burden.
But at Success Immigration, if a client wishes to file their NIW I-140 petition
as a regular filing, we help them do exactly that.
And above all, we have cases where an I-140 petition was filed as a regular filing
and received approval.
In other words, we have seasoned experience.
Success Immigration assists with the process taking each client's situation and wishes into account,
and provides the optimal solution to match.
Working with Success Immigration
is the first step toward good fortune
