Hello! I wanted to say thank you for your video!!! I just got approved on my EB1a visa!!! After I saw your video I felt encouraged and decided to try to apply by myself and it worked! Thank you for your help and your inspiration 🔥🔥🔥
@saida_mei I was not able to message you on LinkedIn. Feel free to message me there or email me to connect. It would be great to share you success your story.
Hi @maxineatuheirwe7859, did you apply from outside the U.S? I am outside the U.S I am right now filling in the forms but I have some questions and need guidance on the I-140 and ETA 9089. Can you assist me. Thanks
Wow from past few days I was struggling for this video and you explained it so well. With your help I guess I can file by my own at least I140 of NIW😊 Thanks a lot
Just subscribed to your channel! Thank you for the explanation. I am helping my husband with his EB-1 process and I was struggling with how to organize the information to submit! Thank you!
Thank You Vijay, so far the most complete video I have seen all over youtube. Im working my self on mi application but I have a questions about the studies validation, should I ask WES to send a closed endevelop directly to USCIS or should I ask for a single open report to my self and just add a copy to my package application? Please your help and experience is higly appreciate. Regards.
Hi Vijay, thank you. This video was very helpful. Is a job offer required to self petition EB1 for extraordinary ability? Section 6 of the form mentions “proposed employment” and worksite location in USA.
Thank you for sharing I'm pretty sure you have other things to do. I'm also happy to see that are a physicst because that's my profession too. I have a question so i was actually in the process of applying for a Nasa NPP when i found out my country is ineligible because of sanctions. I had written a proposal and everything i even found a professor who agreed to supervise me. Do you think that will help my argument or it's something i should not mention. Second question is how much do peer review publications influence the decisions esp for recent PhDs like me
Thank you Prof for the information. I'm applying from outside US. 1. In part 5, item 11, which occupation should I supply? 2. In part 6, item 1--8. Which Job title, SOc, Full time or not, permanent or not, new position or not, then worksite location? Thank you.
Hello Vijay. I really appreciate your kindness, wonderful nature, and generosity. I read your petition letter, and I have a question regarding the language used. Although you are the petitioner yourself, the wording gives the impression that someone else is writing on your behalf. For instance, instead of saying "Dr. John Doe is an assistant professor," shouldn't it be "I am an assistant professor"? what would be the best way to proceed?
Hi Dr. Vingh. This is very helpful. However, the link you've provided for ETA 750B seems broken. Will you be able to provide us the updated one which will expire next year 2024/ Thanks
Hi, I need some help. What if one is outside of the USA and applying for EB1A. without employment in the USA. Part asking about employment. do you have to fill it out?
Dear Professor. It is an your excellent effort. if U could explain either EB1A is good for Professors or EB2-NIW. BCz I heard normally Science teacher face difficulty to prove national importance and substantial merit.. Pl guide if someone has 20 research papers with 5 million grant for research from HEC. under category of outstanding professors and researcher job offer is required. pl guide . Looking forward to hearing from u
Dear brother, can i send printed color copy from my system as a supporting hard copy ? Or black n white photocopy recommended ? If photocopy, do i need to certify of all the copies.
Hello Vijay, thank you for the video and templates. I used it for my application and got an RFE. All the evidence they are asking for I already provided in the first application. How should I respond to the RFE?
@vijay Great Video Professor. I did almost similar for UK and received UK expeceptional Global Talent Visa. Now planning for USA. Your video saved a lot of time and answered most of my questions. One quick question, Can't we send this over soft copy? Everything should be in Hard copy? As I am applying from UK. It would be much easier. Please advise. thanks.
@Vijay Singh this amazing great job well and details view on the form filling process. However, i have a small question with regard to the part 6, 9a for an EB-2 NIW applying from abroad and do not yet have a work in US how to fill this section. your responds might be of help for many
Thank you for this video! I am thinking about applying for the EB1 visa, but I don’t have any official job offer. Do you recommend it to do it without it? How much time does it take to get the results? With and without the premium process? Can anyone recommend any (free) lawyer for a quick consultation? Thank you!
Dr. Singh could you tell what is the first step for EB2NIW ? in the other videos you mentioned that applicant should include some e-notification form, Isnt sending the whole package the only step? could you please list the step in this comment.thanks
The e-notification form is the form you put in your petition so that you can get an notification when the petition reaches USCIS. The whole petition has to be sent.
Hello! Thanks for share that information!! I really appreciated . Can you help me with this , I’m a professional baseball player, do I need an ETA-750?
Hello Dr. Singh, I got a form I-7979C , notice of action letter saying that my form was submitted with an extra remittance that is not required to process my application and the payment has been returned to m with the notice. I didn’t get any money in the mail but I had filled the right amount 700 dollars for eb2 . However the previous day I had also received a document from USCIS saying they application was received and money received I am confused. Please guide me on what this means
Thanks for sharing in detail but have question. I have explored more than 20-25 universities, and most of them mention that if your degree is not from a U.S. institution, you need to translate it and send it for evaluation. Is it really necessary to translate the transcript and make it equivalent to a U.S. degree? In Pakistan, the GPA system is out of 4.0, so why are they still asking for this?
Hey Viajay, What if the petitioner is not currently working? How to fill the occupation part of the form in terms of salary and all, just leave as N/A?
My petition was sent back because I did not input any for Receipt Number of Related Petition or Application and Beneficiary Last Name. Should I put N/A in that portion of I-907? Thanks
You can apply for both at the same time. If you are doing premium processing, better to get one of them done first, so even if it is denied, you can use the feedback to improve the other petition.
I have seen your video about 1-140, very helpful and covered almost every part of it. Please tell me, should we have job in USA than one can apply or without job we can apply..
Thank you, Dr. Singh. The whole process was very helpful. Im still confused regarding Part 1- mailing address. What if im applying outside US? Do i need to write my personal mailing address? Also there's a section named *other information* where you're suppose to give IRS employer identification number. Do i need to give the details of my employer here? Sorry to bother you but waiting for your kind response. Thankyou! 😊
Dear Dr Vijay, its was very informative. Thank you for that. Could you kindly tell me how to write the address if you are applying from outside the US, becasue when you are writing mailing address on the I-140 Part 1 section 3, it does not take state address and country outside US, you cannot change it. (Ref 3e and 3i).
Hey, Dr. is it possible to get sponsored for a(EB3) if I came to the US as a kid and overstayed my visa? I had no choice but to overstay because I was way too young and my parents made that decision... Now I'm a Registered Dental Assistant (in the US) and this Dr is willing to sponsor me, but will it be approved?
Sir, I have 2 questions. 1. Can I submit this form while staying in India?. 2. Do I need to fill the form online or in hard copies and send it to USCIS?.
Can you do a video on I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien worker - the documents to send with the i-140 to immigration. Thanks, no one is doing this video
Hi, could you help clarify this for me I’m a nurse I applied for the 1.h NIW and put petition type as 2.b but was told this is a discrepancy and to clarify which classification I seek? Thanks!
Thanks Dr. Singh for the resource. Do you think we can claim our parents as dependents in the I-140 if they are on a non-immigrant visa? Or is it limited to spouse and children under the age of 21 only?
Helpful content Dr. Singh. I have a doubt. I'm completing my PhD (In electronics engineering) very soon. I have 5 journal articles as the first author but not too many citations. Currently, I have not applied for any jobs or postdoc positions in the U.S.. In which category would I be eligible to apply for a visa? EB 1 or EB 2? And what is the difference between the two? What about the waiting periods? Kindly guide.
And what about the expert opinion letter from prospective employer, if we are not working yet? Should we also attach our previous pay slips of last job?
If you are providing the evidence that you are paid above the average salary, then it is good to attach pay slips. You should also attach the national average salary for similar jobs. It is generally given on government finance department website.
Hello Dr, I also want to apply for EB2 NIW and I am working as a doctor in the UK. I am completely new to this and I want to apply with my family. Can you please advise if we have to create a paper based application? or is the whole application process online? Also I am confused which consulate/embassy should I be using from the UK to Submit my petition? Can you advise on this? And is there any separate category for doctors in EB2 NIW. Do you need USMLE for this? I have ECFMG and USMLE 1&2 which are expired as I was not getting residency before as I stopped applying. But now I am practicing in the UK, so do you think I should submit those exams as well along with my other licenses?
In your application template , you mentioned : XXX do it, He has performed or Dr. Doe commands....His research projects are aimed ..It seems someone written for you.....Should we use , ( I have done it, I have completed....My research projects are aimed )
Hello Dr. Singh, I sent my petition and according to the UPS tracking number, I see that it was delivered. In the application, I added the form to allow me get messages after it is received but I have not received any messages that they received my application. After how long after USCIS receiving the application do they send a message
It takes a few days for the application to get into the system. If you sent a check, you can track the bank account to see if they have deducted the money. That is generally a better way to see if they started working on your application. Once you have an application number assigned, then you will get email. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
Hi Dr Singh a friend followed your example and filled in the worksite location as you did, "N/A Self Petition" and they got sent back the file stating that work location was not filled in. Can you please expand on this Thanks
Hello please can you provide me some information about i140 form..what is the expire date in the i140 form mean? Is it the date we should submit the form? Can we file the form after the date in the form expires?
Hi, I just came across your video, and find it helpful, please I am just starting and just registered on the UCIS, how do I get in touch with you please
Thanks a lot for this video. It is very helpful. I am also preparing my application. I have three questions. I would really appreciate your response. (1) Is the entire cover letter printed on single side or both side? (2) Is it ok to include the first pages of all the first authored publications in a single exhibit, similar to that done for evidence of reviews by you? (3) How many recommendation letters would you suggest? I have a very strong profile and would claim at least 5 criteria. . Do you think number of letters matter? I think only 3 letters would also be sufficient.
1. I printed it one-sided. 2. I included only the first page of my publications, with my name highlighted. 3. I had five letters. I think quality matters over quantity. If your referees are all Deans/Provosts/well-known scientists add as many letters as you can. Otherwise, 3 or 4 would be fine. You do not need to provide letters at all. This is not a requirement. If you have lots of publications, thousands of citations, have done reviews, have been on panels at conferences, have given invited talks, are a member of research organizations, etc., you can do without letters. But if you have such a good profile, you can easily ask people to write letters too. Good luck. Let me know how the application goes.
@@vijaysoophie Thanks a lot for your reply. Is it ok to spiral bind the documents into one book? I am confused with how you tied the documents and use sticky notes. Do you have any photo of it that could be uploaded in your google drive folder? Appreciate your help.
I suggest not to spiral bind. Just punch two holes and either tie it using a string or use a metal file fastener (content.etilize.com/Maximum/1033359944.jpg). The point is to make it easy to detach in a few seconds. I also used clips to separate each document. Again, do not staple as the documents need to be scanned by the USCIS officer. Clips are easier to remove, but keep each document (letter, forms, etc.) separate. Each sticky note just mentions what the document is, so it is easy to find.
@@vijaysoophie I have couple of more questions. Really appreciate all your help. (1) I have seen some people also use publications of other researchers who have cited their (petitioner's) papers as an evidence . They highlight the text of the publication showing their papers are cited and also highlight the corresponding papers in the bibliography. Did you also follow the same? Do you think it would add some value. (2) How did you set the margin area for some of the exhibits? We can easily set the margin for all those documents prepared in a word file, so that the text is not cut (when we punch the documents for binding). But for some other exhibits (eg. publications, degree certificates, etc), it is difficult to set it because they are already in the A4 size. How did you manage? Did you use as it was or did you paste the scan copy of the document on the new page in the word file and keep the margins same for all the documents?
Could you please explain what is “Part.2 Petition Type (continued) - 2.b…." stands for? I do not know the group and other designations. It will be tremendously helpful.
There are certain occupations for which there is demand in US, because there are not enough US citizens able or willing to work in that occupation. These are listed in Schedule A. Sheepherding is one of then BTW. Who would have thought? Anyway, the following official definition might be useful for your case: The following occupations comprise Schedule A:[6] Group I - physical therapists and professional nurses; and Group II - immigrants of exceptional ability in the sciences or arts, including college and university teachers, and immigrants of exceptional ability in the performing arts.
@@vijaysoophie Thank you very much for the video. It is very helpful. Like you, I intend to apply without a lawyer. I have a question about my cover letter and intentions in the US. While my extraordinary ability is related to a business field, I am transiting in my career and would like to do something that is not exactly related to my former career when I get the green card. But my new career is building on the skills and experiences that I have gained in my former career. Infact, I have previously had a career transition where I built on the skills of my old career. I have been told that the I-140 is focused on assessing my extraordinary ability (if I meet the set criteria) and is less focused on my intentions after I get the green card. I would love to hear your thought on how I should navigate this as this will guide me in briefing those who will write my recommendation letters and it will also guide me in framing my entire application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, vijay Singh, thanks its amazing video, Actually I also want to file my petition, I am working as Associate Professor in Chemistry, Pakistan, what is the chances if filing myself?
Hello sir. I want to fill out and apply i140 as an athlete. Do you think it is a good way to go and if there is any chance for the application to be approved? Thank you

For you EB2 would be better in my opinion. I have a video to explain the difference between them.
Also EB1A does Not come under Schedule A, group I or II designation
And what about the expert opinion letter from prospective employer, if we are not working yet? Should we also attach our previous pay slips of last job?

Hello Dr. Singh, I sent my petition and according to the UPS tracking number, I see that it was delivered. In the application, I added the form to allow me get messages after it is received but I have not received any messages that they received my application. After how long after USCIS receiving the application do they send a message
It takes a few days for the application to get into the system. If you sent a check, you can track the bank account to see if they have deducted the money. That is generally a better way to see if they started working on your application. Once you have an application number assigned, then you will get email. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
Hello Dr. thank you very for your templates and guidance. Got my approval in 3 months under normal processing no RFE.
Hi, i am based in south africa, how can i file my Self petition i-140 petition
Hi,is this the same application package for EB2 NIW as well?
They are essentially the same. I have another video about EB2 NIW.
Is form ETA-750B mandatory if no job offer or working professional in the case of EB1-A?
Can I send my application from Egypt? or I must submit it from USA?
How to pay fee from country other than USA?
Hi Dr Singh a friend followed your example and filled in the worksite location as you did, "N/A Self Petition" and they got sent back the file stating that work location was not filled in. Can you please expand on this Thanks
Hello please can you provide me some information about i140 form..what is the expire date in the i140 form mean? Is it the date we should submit the form? Can we file the form after the date in the form expires?
lovely description.
Does form ETA750B still exist for EB2 NIW, please? I googled and I see that it has been discontinued! Are there any other forms to fill out instead?
It has been replaced by form ETA-9089. Please watch my video about this update.
@@vijaysoophie thank you so much 😊
Hi, I just came across your video, and find it helpful, please I am just starting and just registered on the UCIS, how do I get in touch with you please
Is it necessary to fill Part 6 Basic Information About the Proposed Employment? Since its EB1A. I don`t think it is necessary.
Thanks a lot for this video. It is very helpful. I am also preparing my application. I have three questions. I would really appreciate your response.
(1) Is the entire cover letter printed on single side or both side?
(2) Is it ok to include the first pages of all the first authored publications in a single exhibit, similar to that done for evidence of reviews by you?
(3) How many recommendation letters would you suggest? I have a very strong profile and would claim at least 5 criteria. . Do you think number of letters matter? I think only 3 letters would also be sufficient.
1. I printed it one-sided.
2. I included only the first page of my publications, with my name highlighted.
3. I had five letters. I think quality matters over quantity. If your referees are all Deans/Provosts/well-known scientists add as many letters as you can. Otherwise, 3 or 4 would be fine. You do not need to provide letters at all. This is not a requirement. If you have lots of publications, thousands of citations, have done reviews, have been on panels at conferences, have given invited talks, are a member of research organizations, etc., you can do without letters. But if you have such a good profile, you can easily ask people to write letters too.
Good luck. Let me know how the application goes.
@@vijaysoophie Thanks a lot for your reply. Is it ok to spiral bind the documents into one book? I am confused with how you tied the documents and use sticky notes. Do you have any photo of it that could be uploaded in your google drive folder? Appreciate your help.
I suggest not to spiral bind. Just punch two holes and either tie it using a string or use a metal file fastener (content.etilize.com/Maximum/1033359944.jpg). The point is to make it easy to detach in a few seconds. I also used clips to separate each document. Again, do not staple as the documents need to be scanned by the USCIS officer. Clips are easier to remove, but keep each document (letter, forms, etc.) separate.
Each sticky note just mentions what the document is, so it is easy to find.
@@vijaysoophie Got it. Thanks a lot.
@@vijaysoophie I have couple of more questions. Really appreciate all your help.
(1) I have seen some people also use publications of other researchers who have cited their (petitioner's) papers as an evidence . They highlight the text of the publication showing their papers are cited and also highlight the corresponding papers in the bibliography. Did you also follow the same? Do you think it would add some value.
(2) How did you set the margin area for some of the exhibits? We can easily set the margin for all those documents prepared in a word file, so that the text is not cut (when we punch the documents for binding). But for some other exhibits (eg. publications, degree certificates, etc), it is difficult to set it because they are already in the A4 size. How did you manage? Did you use as it was or did you paste the scan copy of the document on the new page in the word file and keep the margins same for all the documents?
Could you please explain what is “Part.2 Petition Type (continued) - 2.b…." stands for? I do not know the group and other designations. It will be tremendously helpful.
There are certain occupations for which there is demand in US, because there are not enough US citizens able or willing to work in that occupation. These are listed in Schedule A. Sheepherding is one of then BTW. Who would have thought? Anyway, the following official definition might be useful for your case:
The following occupations comprise Schedule A:[6]
Group I - physical therapists and professional nurses; and
Group II - immigrants of exceptional ability in the sciences or arts, including college and university teachers, and immigrants of exceptional ability in the performing arts.
@@vijaysoophie Thank you very much for the video. It is very helpful. Like you, I intend to apply without a lawyer. I have a question about my cover letter and intentions in the US. While my extraordinary ability is related to a business field, I am transiting in my career and would like to do something that is not exactly related to my former career when I get the green card. But my new career is building on the skills and experiences that I have gained in my former career. Infact, I have previously had a career transition where I built on the skills of my old career. I have been told that the I-140 is focused on assessing my extraordinary ability (if I meet the set criteria) and is less focused on my intentions after I get the green card. I would love to hear your thought on how I should navigate this as this will guide me in briefing those who will write my recommendation letters and it will also guide me in framing my entire application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Good day , I’m almost done with my application. Please can you help me read through it ?
Good day please could you advice me with your email or LinkedIn profile so I’ll connect with you .
Thanks
