Testimonial #36 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2023/10/13] client got NIW approval:
I just wanted to share the amazing news that my EB2 was APPROVED today!! I’m so happy for these incredible news and I wanted to share them with you. I am so grateful that I came across with your case that gave me absolutely all the details I needed and guided me through every single step and played a huge role of this lengthy process. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
…
I can’t wait to apply for the green card now using Veronika’s package! I love that she’s got both EB2 and I-485 in the kit so you don’t need to hire expensive lawyers for any part of the process, and it includes what you need to do if you have dependents too, so it really is the best.
Testimonial #35 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2021/9/5] client’s NIW case was approved:
I got my case approved this year and the NIW DIY Kit was the best purchase. I couldn´t do it without the kit and the Founders support. Lawyers wanted to charge $15,000 dolars for the case (plus USCIS fees, translation expenses etc), but I could make it with the kit. So glad and happy. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN…
Testimonial #34 (NIW green card approved)
[2021/6/18] client shared his green card journey:
First of all, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
In July 2019, I purchased the EB2 DIY NIW kit. That was the best initiative I have ever taken since I arrived in US, 8 years ago.
On Oct 29 I filled my I-140 application, which was approved on Jun 1st, 2020. Two weeks later I filled my I-485 application.
Glory to GOD!
Our permanent residence was approved on June 06, 2021 and 10 days later my wife and received our green card.
We saved (considering all attorney office costs) more than U$ 25,000.00.
The process as a whole was hard (only because of the amount of paper to organize), however, absolutely easy. The kit itself does all the job for you/us.
Once again, Thank you. May God allow you to keep giving guidance and hope to all people interested in getting permanent residence through EB2 / NIW application process.
Testimonial #33 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2021/4/16] client received NIW approval and shared her experience with our service:
I decided to prepare my NIW application without the help from a lawyer for a few reasons. 1) How much time you have spend writing about your work would only decrease by a small amount if you work with a lawyer. 2) Some experts who can provide a strong letter of recommendation for you would be less willing to sign a letter drafted by a lawyer than if they could work on a draft that you prepared (because the lawyers tend to oversell you and two of the experts from whom I got letters mentioned that). 3) the cost was obviously a big factor too.
The DIY kit for NIW helps with all these three factors. It will guide you in how to narrate our story to fit the three important criteria in NIW. It has excellent sample letters of recommendation and they have put a very reasonable price tag on this kit. What’s even more amazing is that Veronika would update the packet as rules change. For example, when the public charge rule became effective and recently waived, she updated it and emailed former customers about the changes. As with any product you buy, it’s nice to have this “after sale service” for something important as this application.
Overall, this DIY packet made the whole process (starting from all the forms to assembling the final packet in a mailer box) a lot easier. I spent 5 months, almost every weekend (8hr/day) preparing my application (my friends who had lawyers took at least the same amount of time to prepare it). I filed mine in August 2020 and just received the approval (1 week short of 8 months, during COVID), AND no RFE!
Whether you want to file it yourself or with the help of a lawyer obviously depends on the strength of your case too. But, if you decide to do it yourself, this DIY kit is extremely valuable and I highly recommend it!
Testimonial #32 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2020/12/15] client summarized his experience with our NIW DIY kit:
I purchased a DIY EB2 NIW kit in January 2020. The DIY kit is a great resource for self-petition, and the How-To Guide in the DIY kit provides excellent information for the green card application process under EB2 NIW category. I contacted Veronika to ask a question related to DIY Kit, and Veronika got back to me promptly with an answer which I appreciated. I learned a lot from the DIY kit and applied those learning to my EB2 NIW self-petition which was submitted to USCIS in April 2020. And my EB2 NIW I-140 petition was approved without any RFE in December 2020. I would like to thank Veronika for making such an amazing self-explanatory and practical DIY kit, I am glad that I came across it. Besides, it saves me thousands of dollars in Lawyer’s fee as I did self-petition solely based on learning from DIY kit.
Testimonial #31 (NIW green card approved)
[2020/11/17] client shared his feedback and happy news with us:
I looked for an alternative to paying huge sums to lawyers and found Veronika’s EB-2 kit. The kit is well made and gives you an in-depth idea of what’s expected and how to put an EB-2 NIW together. Like others, mine took a couple of months of writing and evidence collecting. I was finally approved after almost two long years. I wouldn’t even know how to get started if not for Veronika’s EB2kit.
Testimonial #30 (NIW green card approved)
[2020/10/3] we got this testimonial from client:
My story started back in 2018 when I came to the USA for an oil conference and happened I was hired on the spot. However, the company denied processing my legalization. I made several calls to different lawyers but their payments were very high so I decided to find an alternative to do it until I found Veronica’s Kit. This kit is Understandable and easy to follow, it took approximately 3 months to complete all the process. Recently my process was accepted, it took a little longer due to many government shutdowns including the COVID that was extended over and over again. Finally, after almost two years my process was approved thanks to Veronica Kit.
Testimonial #29 (NIW green card approved)
[2020/7/18] client provided his feedback on our NIW DIY kit and shared good news with us – his NIW green card was approved recently:
I prepared my NIW application primarily based on this DIY kit, I found this kit extremely helpful and valuable in preparing my application for both i140 petition and adjustment of status. The NIW kit is well prepared and I used many of the included templates. I submitted my application in April 2019 and recently received my green card. Putting a strong application together was quite challenging and took a lot of effort. It was a challenging process and I wouldn’t have done it without all the great materials in the DIY kit.
Veronika was also very prompt in answering all questions. She helped me after I bought the kit answering my questions. Furthermore, she stays on top of new rule changes and updates her kit regularly and is always helpful and responds to emails.
Overall, I think the kit is very well organized, well explained and very insightful in terms of how to frame arguments and what to emphasize. You saved a lot of time and money! and I highly recommend it to everyone that cannot afford to hire a lawyer.
Testimonial #28 (NIW green cards approved)
[2020/6/21] client’s and his wife’s National Interest Waiver green cards were approved and he shared valuable details about his case on our blog. Here is his feedback regarding the DIY kit itself:
The DIY Kit is fantastic!
I was able to compile my case following the step-by-step examples. One key item are the recommendation letters. These letters confirm my exceptional abilities and contributions to patents that OEM’s hold… Therefore, it is critical to get good recommendations letters and the Kit has excellent examples about the format we have to use. The recommendation letters came from the different companies that I have worked for, main OEM’s (different customers), including main semiconductor suppliers (recognized worldwide). The people who wrote the letters were mainly managers, directors, and technical specialists.
This Kit is an excellent tool. It took me few months to compile my I-140 application. I included all awards and recognitions at National level coming from the industry and college. Also attached my performance and main design reviews that I held with different customers and some videos and magazines as reference.
Veronika was always willing to help me on any question that I had. Nonetheless, this kit is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the NIW path and could save thousands of dollars in attorneys.
In the final interview (I-485 final appointment), they saw that my medical records was missing a small section to be filled out by the clinic. The lady was flexible and she gave me a “Come back pass” to return the same day with the missing information from the clinic (new I-693 format).
I recommend applying for this category NIW, once you have H-1B visa. If you get I-140 denial, you can reapply without penalty (although this wasn’t our case – straight approval). Also, if you hold an H-1B, DO NOT apply to I-131 Advance Parole. We didn’t apply to Advance Parole to continue traveling to Mexico during I-485 application in process without penalty.
At the end, I got I-140 approval and also green cards approvals for me and my wife without any single RFE…. The I-140 application took around 6 months for approval and the I-485’s took around six months to get approval and get them physically. I accomplished what attorneys considered impossible, being this Kit and Veronika big part of this success.
Testimonial #27 (NIW green cards approved)
[2020/6/16] client and her spouse got their NIW green cards and shared their experience:
We purchased the EB-2 NIW DIY kit in June 2018. We applied for the I-140 EB-2 NIW first and submitted that paperwork in December 2018. Original visas held by my spouse and I were H-1B and F-1. We got our I-140 approval response in June 2019. We then applied for immigrant status via I-485 and also applied for work permits with I-765; We submitted this paperwork in July 2019. The work permits came in November 2019. The only RFEs were related to the verification of the extensive F-1 status duration (1 Associate’s, 1 Bachelor’s, and 2 Masters degrees), and verification of marital status, likely because we had unrelated visas, unlike H1 and H4 visas which are dependent by nature. In 2020, the green cards came, with one coming in April and the other in May. The DIY kit helped us save money and time in this process. Thank you. God is faithful and He placed you in our path. May you continue to bless other families this way!
Testimonial #26 (NIW green cards approved)
[2020/6/9] client got his and spouse’s EB2 NIW green cards and shared their experience:
I found this National Interest Waiver kit extremely helpful and valuable in preparing my entire NIW application for petition and adjustment of status. I submitted my petition in April 2019 and got my petition approved in September 2019. In november then I proceeded with the i-485 adjustment of status for me and my wife. We received our green cards in November 2019 (it could have been sooner in July if we were not impacted by the temporary freeze between August 1st and Oct 1st). The price for this kit is very reasonable and I would say I’ve never been happier to spend $100! Veronika helped me also after I bought the kit answering my questions promptly and providing free updates in the case the documentation had changed. Overall, I highly recommend it to everyone that cannot afford to hire a lawyer. Extremely highly recommended.
Testimonial #25 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2020/5/24] client’s NIW was approved and he shared his feedback with us:
If you are considering applying for a green card in the EB2-NIW category and want to save thousands of dollars in lawyer fees and also want to save hundreds of hours of work, do not look further. Veronika’s NIW DIY Kit is truly amazing! My I-140 application was recently approved (it took about 180 days) without any requests for additional evidence from the USCIS. The process was as smooth as can possibly be. The only regret I have is for not filing concurrently. My field of work (Oceanography, climate change and sea level) is not related to the one used in her package but the kit was still tremendously helpful as I was able to follow their format, which helped me address all the important points that a USCIS agent looks for. I cannot recommend the kit highly enough, regardless of your field of study, as it covers everything and includes most of the templates you will need. Furthermore, Veronika stays on top of new rule changes and updates her kit regularly and is always helpful and responds to emails promptly.
My credentials: PhD in Oceanography from a program that ranks among the top 10 in the world. I have published 4 peer-reviewed articles as a first author, have another publication under review as a first author and another as a co-author. My work has been cited about 60+ times (puts me in top 20% in my field, and higher for some of my individual articles).
Testimonial #24 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2019/11/5] client wrote us about NIW I-140 approval and experience with our service:
I am a 5th year post-doctoral fellow and I just got my green card approved! I prepared my EB2 NIW application primarily based on Veronika’s e-book, and to be honest, I would have been lost without it. The e-book is written very well and I used many of the included templates. Veronika was also very prompt in answering all my questions by e-mail.
Getting the NIW application together was a lot of work and it took me several weeks (the application was almost as thick as a height of a coffee mug..). Having a sample application – even though it was in a completely different field – helped me to organize myself and make a checklist of evidence I could use in my case. I started by identifying possible referees that could provide me with recommendation letters. The advice given in the e-book was crucial in that step by pointing out differences between referees we pick for NIW application vs. for grant/job application.
My case was rather typical for a post-doc. I completed my PhD in the US at a prominent university, I had several first-authored publications (but none in super high-impact journal), several smaller awards and one big grant from the government. I have submitted I-140 in late August of 2018, it got approved in February 2019. Shortly after that I submitted my I-485 and I-765, also following the e-book instructions. I had my green card interview in November 2019 and it went well.
Testimonial #23 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2019/3/26] client has just got his NIW approval and shared his feedback:
I have got my I-140 approved on March 21.
Your materials have helped me a lot to build my case without any lawyer. Best money invested ever!Thanks to your blog and materials in the kit, I prepared my application in about 6 months.
After filing, it took ~200 days to get the approval. No RFE received.
These were my credentials at the time of the application :
I am a post doc in the cancer research field. I had 15 papers, 6 first name, 1 high profile journal. >300 citations. One national award. I collected 8 ref letters, 4 from my inner circle and 4 independent . I was a reviewer in two peer-review journals and I was a scientific member of two different scientific associations.I want simply to say thank you from the deep of my heart.
Testimonial #22 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2019/3/25] client shared interesting experience about friendly USCIS approach:
Thank again for the all the help with my EB2 NIW application.
I submitted my application in Sept. 2018 and its been slightly over 6 months and I am patiently waiting.
I’m however writing to give you some information that might be useful to your other clients. When I applied in September, I submitted a concurrent application both the I-140 and I-485. I almost broke down when I received a rejection notice in the mail in October BUT this was with regards to the I-485. Apparently because they were backlogged, they were not accepting I-485 applications. The good thing is that they returned my entire I-485 package to me (which they opened including the doctors letter) and my $1225 money order. Fascinating! They also included a green slip in the rejection package and urged me to apply once the the priority date for my category became current (I had to include that green slip in my re-submission package). After checking the bulletin the very next month, my priority date became current. I however waited until December to resubmit my application. This time it was accepted and in January I got a notice for my biometric appointment.
So what did I find out:
1) I shouldn’t that afraid of the USCIS (HAHAHA..really). They really are not evil
2) Even after re-submitting my I-485 application, it was still accepted as a concurrent filing
3) Towards the end of the USCIS fiscal year (September), applicants should pay very close attention to the priority dates associated with their applications.
4) Everyone should stay up to date with the new changes and the rules
[2019/4/10] client received his NIW approval:
I can’t thank you enough for all the help throughout this process. Your story encouraged me to pursue this process and it was well worth it. Your package was exceptionally helpful and I appreciate your availability via email when I had quick questions. I’m truly grateful.
Just to give you timeline for my process. I submitted a concurrent application (I-140 and I-485) like I explained in my previous email. Application was submitted in September 2018 and I got my approval letter April 2019. No RFEs. I did my fingerprint in January 2019 and now I just wait for the green card.
Thank you again!
Testimonial #21 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2019/3/20] client shared his story how he got his NIW approval:
Thanks to your e-book and detailed guide, I was able to really do my EB2-NIW package without a lawyer and I got approved after 7 months from the date of filing.
I only have a Master’s degree, with only 1 first authored paper and 1 second authored paper with few citations! The suggestions on the letters of recommendation and ETA forms really helped!
I was able to beautifully draft a request for NIW based on the Dhanasar case.
I also emphasized that I have met other regulatory requirements for the exceptional ability such as memberships and certifications. Even with no PhD, I was able to get approved.
My field is in Toxicology. I have a Master’s in Forensic Science, 6 certifications, 1 award/recognition in the field, plus the 2 papers I mentioned.
I argued that my field is important and applied to a lot of applications in prong 1. Then I expounded in prong 2 my qualifications and then justified in prong 3 that it would be detrimental to the country to require me a labor certification.
Your resource saved my life as my status as F1 student has already ended 2 weeks before my approval. It was worth the wait for a decision on my concurrently and timely filed I-140, I-485, I-765 and I-131. Now all I need to wait for is the AOS, and the petition is now done!
Thank you so much!

I’m excited to let you know with only 3 articles and 7 citations, and only 8 recommendations I got my EB2-NIW approved with NO RFE in just 2.5 months. Amazingly. I made my case strong focusing on two U.S government military projects I participated in. My cover letter was focused on highlights of my critical role on those projects and importance of the projects for the U.S. Military. Your DIY kit was key piece of information, specially by including the full submitted copy example provided with the kit (several hundreds of pgs) as it allowed me to have an idea of what the final submission will read like. To anyone out there considering applying for EB1/EB2 Employment, you don’t need spending thousands of dollars in lawyers, all you need is THIS kit. I can think it would be great to have links to the AAO response database for the final rulings petitions in a variety of professions, and probably a workflow diagram of the whole process. I strongly recommend this kit.
Testimonial #19 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2017/12/4] client’s NIW application was approved:
I’m writing to let you know that my I-140 has just been approved. It took just 2.5 months. I built all my case based on your extremely helpful material. I think you did a great job in putting together all that information, so well, thank you so much! I couldn’t have done it without the kit.
Testimonial #18 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2017/11/17] client sent us this message about his NIW approval:
I used EB2-NIW kit to apply for one last year and It got approved. I took 11 months due to the Dhansar precedent and general slowness in the Nebraska center but I finally got it this week.
I have a PhD in physics from [foreign country], and I’m currently have a joint postdoc in a large state university and a […] national laboratory. I had 7 recommendation letters, 4 of them from independent US and international professors. I had 12 publication and ~100 citations when applying, one of them in Nature.
I want to thank you for the kit you provided, it was worth every penny out of the $99 I paid for it. It saved me $5000 in lawyer fees for the I-140 alone, and a similar cost for the I-485 packages for my wife and I.
I will be forever grateful to you.
Testimonial #17 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2017/10/2] client’s I-140 was approved and he wrote us his feedback:
We found your National Interest Waiver kit to be extremely helpful in putting together our (successful) NIW application. We submitted our case in February 2017 and were very very happy to have it approved 4 months later in June. We hope to have our Green Cards in hand by the end of the year, with interviews (now normal for all employment based Green Cards) scheduled for October.
We really appreciated the quick changes made to the DIY kit and the guidance offered on EB2NIW.com after USCIS changed the NIW standard following the Matter of Dhanasar decision in December 2016. We had to change our whole application as it was nearly ready to submit, but the updated package helped us put everything together and our case was approved quickly under the new standard without any RFE’s.
We found the DIY kit was very nicely put together and provided a lot of help in not just how to present and format our case for USCIS, but also with how to structure the whole petition. Considering the amount of time and effort saved compared to doing all the research ourselves, let alone hiring a lawyer to do it for us EB2NIW.com’s package represents fantastic value for money.
I cannot recommend your service highly enough.
Testimonial #16 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2016/9/27] client’s NIW was approved and he described his experience:
I have bought your NIW DIY kit and prepared my application based on it. It was the best investment I have done for my I-140 application. Your guide helped me to make my case bold and to the point. Today I learned that my case is approved. It took only 6 weeks to get approval! You guys did a awesome job! I will highly recommend your kit to other applicants.
Testimonial #15 (National Interest Waiver approved through consular processing)
[2016/7/20] client wrote that his NIW submited overseas was approved:
Last year I bought your eb2 niw diy kit and applied myself. I am glad to share that my petition was approved. Your diy kit was very elaborate and helpful.
After going through it I feel that with proper education and guidance one can easily self-petition and avoid paying thousands of dollars to attorneys. I was very nervous because A) I was applying from outside USA and B) didn’t go through lawyer. But really happy it went well.
Testimonial #14 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2016/3/9] client sent us feedback and announced his NIW case was approved:
I would like to thank the EB2NIW team for help with my application. My I-140 petition was approved without RFE and in a reasonable amount of time. The kit is pretty good and has a well written example of the petition letter. It also has a good write up about the whole process (I-140 and I-485) with description of the common mistakes. I would really recommend it to anyone with a moderate to strong NIW case. They were also quick in responding to my questions, however keep in mind that they can help only with procedural questions and not about the wording of the petition as this would count as a legal advise. You will be on your own in this regard.
I think authors of the kit have applied around 2012-2013. As far as I understand nothing had changed since that time in terms of the wording about the third NIW requirement. I have come across some other NIW kits, so can compare this one to others. This one contained about the same factual material (but much more details), however the word documents in the eb2NIW kit are very handy. You can save a lot of time by just using their formatting and structure. In total, it took me about two month of evening/weekend time. The most time consuming part is to get the recommendation letters and other confirmation letters/documents.
It is definitely possible to do it without the help of attorney. With attorney it is your job to prepare drafts of the recommendation letters and research statement anyway. The $5000 price for putting all of this together seems a bit excessive.
Good luck to everyone.

[2016/2/10] client sent feedback and announced EB-1 approval:
I just wanted to come back and here and say a massive THANK YOU. For this wonderful package put together to help people like myself. I didn’t actually apply for the National Interest Waiver, in fact I applied for the EB1-A – Alien of Extraordinary ability and was approved today. Thank you soo so much to Veronika and her team, I was so lost, I had everything I needed but how to put it together was a challenge. I highly recommend this kit, and believe it not, it not only worked for NIW, it worked for the EB1-A, which is a hard category to get. God bless you and thanks so much again. I will be recommending this blog an package to my fellow actor friends who are looking to self-petition.

[2016/1/22] client’s NIW and greed card applications were approved and he sent this feedback:
Thank you verrryy much!!! The invaluable information on your website guided us (my wife and I) to successfully petition for the NIW and subsequently permanent resident. We literally followed all the tips and and information that you provided.
We submitted our I-140 on August 28, 2014. I was the primary petitioner (I included my wife), and we received I-140 approval notice on May 14, 2015 (that was a long wait). We submitted our I-485 and other documents on June 10, 2015 and received approval notice on August 24, 2015 after going for cliometric ; permanent card mailed on September 2, 2015 and we received our PERMANENT RESIDENT CARDS on September 5, 2015.

[2015/8/7] client informed us about national interest waiver (I-140) approval:
I would like to inform you that my I-140 EB2-NIW has been approved. I got my letter today, and the process took just under 6 months. I am now going begin the process of changing my status by filing out the I-485, together with the Employment Authorization. There is a package in the kit as well which handles these aspect, so I’m good to go.
I would like to thank you for the guidance and advice and also for the guidance kit. The kit has been a blessing to some of us.
It was worth getting the kit, it paid off.
I cannot further express my gratitude in words. May God richly bless you and your family.
[2016/5/3] client’s green card was approved:
I’m glad to let you know I got my GC yesterday. I cannot afford not to tell you now that the project has come to a successful completion.

May you and your team be richly blessed.

[2015/6/8] client announced NIW approval and sent feedback:
We have been meaning to send you a message and a huge thank you!! Your NIW DIY Kit/NIW e-book is simply excellent and extremely helpful. The first part of our case (I-140) was approved in January after a very intense process (as you well know!) and we are currently going through the final stage (adjustment of status). We recently received our new employment authorization and advance parole cards, and expect to get the permanent green card within the next few months. Putting a strong application together was quite challenging and took a lot of effort (specially since we were asked to submit additional evidence to satisfy the third NIW criterion!). It was an exhausting process and we wouldn’t have done it without all the great materials and insight you so generously shared through your blog and the DIY kit. You saved as a lot of time and money! and I’d like to commend you for offering this support to others.
I think the kit is very well organized, well explained and very insightful in terms of how to frame arguments and what to emphasize. It definitely gave us critical guidance and structure to organize our application.
So, I have nothing else to say but THANK YOU!
Testimonial #8 (National Interest Waiver approved)
[2015/6/8] client announced green card approval and provided overall feedback:
The NIW kit helped us tremendously to quickly put together a successful NIW application. The kit is of a very high quality. It is very well written and organized with all the information you need. Thanks to this kit, we were able to receive our green card within 4 months since the submission.

My name is [Name] I am an immigration paralegal.
Your kit was VERY VERY HELPFUL. I have never done EB-2 NIW visas before and I had my first and only EB-2 NIW case in my life, and you know what? I did it. And I did it only because I had your kit. The case was approved and the client was happy.
The client was a Ph.D. student and specialized in physics. I spent about 70 hours on the preparation of this case and I would never be able to do it on my own if I did not have your kit. I submitted a 20 page supporting letter to the USCIS and later we had a request for Evidence where I filed additional 22 page supporting letter. The total of pages in the case was about 600 (Tables of content, cover letter, letter of support and multiple exhibits). My work was reviewed by my boss and I was provided with a few valuable advises.
Our client used your recommendation letters as examples to write his letters of recommendation. Your recommendation letters are very good and professional. Your book with explanation of the process and what needs to be proved was excellent. I did the shorter letter of support (yours is quite long), but I include an explanation of all supporting documents, what each of them prove.
That was the most exhausting case in my 6-years of immigration practice but I am very proud that I could do it and it was approved.
Thank you very much for your kit.
This was the best purchase that my attorney [paralegal’s boss] made, in my opinion. This kit was worth every penny spent.
Good Job.

[2015/5/11] client announced NIW approval and thanked us:
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful work you did on your website. I bought your kit a few months ago, worked on my petition myself, and today received my I-140 approval with no RFE after about 4.5 months. I owe this one to you.
Thanks again for the public service and saving me $6,000.
[2015/5/12] this client also provided overall feedback:
Thank you for providing such a wonderful resource for NIW applications. I used your NIW kit and ebook to prepare my own petition without the help of an attorney. The kit covers all the essential arguments one needs to make for a successful application. I am a young researcher and I was always worried that my application would be borderline because of low number of papers and citations. However, with the help of this kit, I managed to successfully argue all three prongs for NIW. My case was approved in about four months without any RFEs. You saved me thousands of dollars and the hassle of dealing with lawyers.

Your material will no doubt help me to make this application.
With your breadth of knowledge on the subject you should run a advisory service to potential applicants.

I managed to go through the whole lot you sent [NIW DIY Kit] during the week end. Been very busy lately.
I have never seen or read anything as organized as this application. There is nothing that you have not done and it is perfect, not 99.9% but 100%. You have researched the whole subject well, have a great understanding of the laws behind, what needs to be included, what is essential and most importantly how to contest the case at hand. There is no better word that I can think of other than to say “BRILLIANT”. It is not a wonder that your application was approved within a month. I can see how efficient you would be in real life and your husband is a very lucky man, to have you beside him.
Next I would also like to appreciate you taking the step on not only sharing your experience but also having ALL of the details available to others, which is a great noble thin to do. Very often people don’t do that even for money. The fee you charge is more than reasonable for what you have provided as you had and have spend a lot of time on this effort. Please accept my big “THANK YOU” for making the information available for us.
[2015/3/22] client submitted his EB2 NIW petition from overseas:
I hope you remember me. Was one of those who bought your kit and who have benefited heaps.
After a lot of pain and spending much of my time I have almost reached the end of the petition. I have used your formats, learnt heaps from you have sent me which I would never have achieved without your help. Thank you.
[2016/2/5] client wrote that his National Interest Waiver was approved:
I have good news for you. My petition was approved on the 7th of January. Much of the credit must go to you, for guiding me along through this complex application process. If not for you I would never have understood this whole system and also spent a lot of money on lawyers for no reason. A big thank you for that.

[2014/4/25] client answered survey questions (how is our NIW DIY Kit and free resource blog):
LOVE it!! We have used the kit A LOT for guidance. Your website is great too!!!, but to me it was really nice to see the whole package you had submitted to get a much better idea of how to do it ourselves.
I looked at different forums online – all very confusing with only answers to single questions here and there. So honestly, after I found yours, I haven’t looked much further. I like the way you built up the website. It seems like you’ve done your research very well and you are listing things step by step so it is easy to follow and apply to your own credentials. You are guiding us through the whole process and it has been super valuable to see you full application package, not just as bullet points of what should go in there, but the actual 300+ pages! It makes me more confident in being on the right track myself. And the fact that you got the green card just proved that not only do you have the credentials needed – but you also submitted everything they needed to see. That has always been one of my concerns – what if I am missing some documents that are essential and will be rejected because of that. For that one reason I was really considering a lawyer for this, just to be sure we weren’t overlooking anything.
Again, thank you for the service you provide!
[2015/1/29] client’s NIW was approved and here is a thank you message:
Thank you – thank you – thank you! Your NIW package and guidelines enabled us to feel confident in filing the I-140 by ourselves and save those ridiculously expensive lawyer fees. It was a lot of work, indeed – but guided by your work we gradually worked our way through it. Obviously some adjustments were needed to fit specifically our situation, but it was really nice to have a good starting point and guide. And we succeeded! Our I-140 was approved and we just now filed the I-485 (again following your guidelines). We filed the I-140 late August 2014 and got the approval notice early January 2015, so the process time has definitely increased compared to when your petition was processed.
[2015/6/10] client’s overall feedback and summary of the case (processing times):
We just received our green cards in the mail last week!!! Again, thank you for the wonderful service – it gave us the needed confidence to submit the paper work for both steps of the process without a lawyer.
The full process time for our case was as follows: Submitted I-140 late August [2014]. I-140 was approved early January [2015]. Submitted I-485 late January. I-485 was approved late May [2015]. Received actual green cards in the mail early June.
It is crazy how much the processing time has increased since you got your green cards. So my advice to all your clients is to get going on this asap.
I can attest that the documentation you have described was sufficient for us to get our case approved. I will and have already recommended your webpage for other peers who wish to apply for green cards.

Alright, you have me convinced. I’ve looked at several different sites, consulted various friends and individuals who have successfully file their EB-2 NIW petitions, and I’ve even sat in on a presentation given by a legal attorney. Even after all that, I have to say, your detailed explanations and knowledge about this process are most impressive. I learned more from reading your blog than I did from the rest. What was most helpful was your discussion of the NYSDOT case and the way you formatted your cover letter. It has inspired me to adjust mine.
Anyway, I went ahead and purchased the kit. I’m hoping it will be more informative than the one from http://www.greencardforphd.com/.

We are in the process of organizing two information sessions for international postdocs at [Name of University] on [Date]. We have invited attorneys and successful postdoc applicants to provide information about the EB-2 NIW petition process. We will also point prospective applicants to your website, which we believe is a valuable resource.
[2014/12/16] this client announced I-140 approval:
I just received my I-140 approval notice last night. Looks like the hard part is over!
Thanks for all the advice and for setting up the EB2NIW website. I could not have made it this far without them.
[2015/5/12] this client shared great news with us (I-485 approval):
I got the approval notice for my I-485 application today! This time, it only took USCIS 68 days.
[2015/5/13] client sent final thank you note:
And thank you for assembling the eb2niw blog. Like I said before, it is the best self-help site on this topic out there. I will always recommend it.
