what address you should give for green card if you are coming from abroad as you won't have a residence yet.
Oscar, thanks for our support and this amazing video. All information was crystal clear. However, you should mention that the USICS takes time to send you the acceptance of your application called notice of action. I am applying from Australia, and I have not received it yet (2 weeks).
Yes, but the notice of action you are referring to is for the I-140 petition, not the consular processing part. That notification does take time unless you have filed a request for electronic notification (form G-1145). It can take anywhere from 2 weeks if you are in the US and they are fast to many weeks if you are abroad. A good way to check if they accepted your petition is to see if the cashed out your check, money order, or credit card. Cheers
Oscar, I recently received a professional license to run the USA transmission grid. I work in Kenya. I am writing a petition
Oscar, will they cash your $2,500 cheque if you paid for expedited process even if they reject your petition?
Hi Oscar, this is very informative! Thank you. by the way, for supporting documents, do we need to submit for police certificate from every place we live before? TIA
You can check the exact requirements for your situation here: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html
Oscar, great videos. Thanks for your support to the immigrant community.
I have a question about the Interview. Should we prepare for follow up questions about our application? It's that a time and place to defend why we are of national interest or at that stage the application was already approved by the officer that did the I-140 package review?
Thanks so much for your time!
Hi Daniel, thanks for your words of encouragement. Regarding the interview, I would not spend a whole lot of time preparing to defend your national interest. You will be asked more questions related to your family (if they are coming with you too), may be asked to show originals of the civil documents. They may ask questions about your plans but mostly to double check consistency, it will not be a super detail exam or anything like that. They may ask you again a few of those crazy questions like "have you engaged in terrorism in the past?" and so on...even if you had to answer them online before going there.
So informative! Thank you.
How much time do you receive to enter the US after you've received the visa on your passport?
Thanks . "An immigrant visa is usually valid for up to six months from the date of issuance unless your medical examination expires sooner, which may make your visa valid for less than six months."
@@OscarsGreenCard perfect. Thank you!
Hey Oscar! Love your vídeos👏🏼 just to be sure: don't EB2 NIW petitions need to demonstrate Affidavit of support?
Thanks! And no, not for NIW like I said in the video
❤
Hi Oscar, thanks for uploading this great informative video. Though, you have explained about affidavit of support and financial documents which are NOT needed in case of EB 2 NIW. Just want to know that while filling DS 260, just to skip these two steps and start working on the 6th step, you sure that NVC will accept DS 260 without filling affidavit of support and financial documents? Regards
You won't need to send those documents
Wonderful Video. I have a question. After the approval of EB2 NIW petition, do we have to submit the Affidavit of support and financial documents as well? Thanks for educating us.
Hi! Theoretically no, as EB2 NIW petitioner you are self petitioner and you should not need it, but once you get into the Consular Processing part of the process you will get direct requests from the Consulate as to what exactly you have to provide.
Dear Oscar,
Congratulations on your excellent work in explaining the E2B-NIW application process with great clarity for "DIY". I have a question that may have already been answered, but it's not entirely clear to me: Once you complete Consular Processing, get the visa approved and hear "welcome to the USA," my understanding is that you have 6 months to enter the U.S.. So, is it possible to enter for only 48 hours and return to my home country (in this case, Argentina) and wait for the Green Card at my home? in other words, is it an entry for formalities to complete the process? kind regards!
Hi Carlos, thanks for your words. No, that's not possible because you won't get your green card in 48 hours, you will need to wait until they mail it to you in your new residence in the US. Also, keep in mind from that point onwards you will need to maintain residence in the US and there is a definitition for that you can google , among which is spending at least 180 days a year in the country.
Hi Oscar! Thank you for your response. I understood from one of your videos that the green card is sent to the address provided in the DS-260 form. In this case, it would be Buenos Aires, as I am going through Consular Processing from outside the USA. According to your reply, do they ask for an address to send the Green Card when you enter first time into the USA? This is crucial as it affects the ability to pursue certain jobs until obtaining the card. Thanks again!@@OscarsGreenCard
No, the green card is sent to your place inside the United States@@carlossepliarsky259
Oscar, it’s me again. I hope you remember me. My mom got her I-140 approved but she already left the US. We thought that the result will come out before her visa will expire. So we put on the I-140 form Part 4. Processing Information that she is in the US and do the adjustment status in the US. But she already left the US because she doesn’t want to overstay since her visa has ended. What do we do since she already left? How can she do the Consular Processing in her home country?
Replied on email
Dear thank you so much . Thanks for making this video .
Can you please make a video on the interview as well
On what bases your interview can be rejected and sealed envelope for health report how candidate cope with it when you yourself don’t know what’s inside .
I live in Pakistan. I watch your TH-cam videos. Can I pay petition fee using Wise account. Can I make check than write US wise account detail. Is this work . Please let me know. Is anyone try before than let me know please
Yes, in the future there will be a video about the interview. thanks for suggesting!
Hi Oscar, thanks for all your work to support this community. Quick question, if applying from outside of U.S. where should the i-140 application be sent to? The USCIS has 2 centers, Texas and Chicago dependant of the State, what is the case for out of country? Thanks
You have to refer to the official website and read carefully. It depends if you do premium processing or not, and for applying from abroad you always use the address for UPS/Fedex
@@OscarsGreenCard Hi Oscar, I checked the official USCIS site but does not say where to send if applying from outside U.S.A, it gives very detailed options for regular and premium processing and even for concurrent processing but only for specific U.S. states. Do you know where some of the people that have worked with you before have sent to?
There is no difference in the I-140 step from being inside the US or outside. Use the address for Fedex/UPS if you are abroad (since you cannot use USPS)@@robertovivasrealtor
@@OscarsGreenCardthank you Oscar for your quick reply. Is it indifferent to which address I should use (there are 2 UPS addresses, Texas and Illinois?
One more thing I have someone bought me a money order in the US, he has not filled the money order yet. What are the next steps? .... Once filled out with the correct address should I mail it through the post office?
The visa bulletin that they look at step 2 is "Filing date" visa bulletin right? It's not "Final action date" visa bulletin?
Dear Oscar, thank you very much for your informative videos. I have been watching your videos from last few months. It has been helpful for me. I am currently outside US and plan to file petition from here. Could you kindly infom me where do we mail our petition to? The USCIS website has listed out two USCIS addresses, Dallas Lockboxes, Dallas, TX for using USPS and Lewisville, TX for FedEx, UPS and DHL deliveries. However, USCIS mentions these addresses to use to file I-130 forms. It does not categorically mentions where to mail I -140 petitions if they are mailed from outside US.
Hi, the addresses for I-140 are listed in USCIS.gov/I-140 . In my course I provide explanations on this payhip.com/b/gfuRU
Hi Oscar, thanks a lot for creating such helpful content and making the NIW process so simple and straightforward. I have a quick question, would be grateful if you respond.
Can I submit my EB-2 NIW petition while I am here in the US on J-1 visa and opt for Consular process (instead of adjustment of status) from the home country? As you mentioned the Consular process can be done in an year's time. Thanks.
Hi Sumera. Thanks for your words and support. You can always opt for consular processing even if you are in the US, however note that you will need to go abroad to the Consulate of choice once you need to start that part of the process.
Two things about the J visa: check if you are subject to the 2 year rule because if you are, applying for green card is problematic. Two, if you are not subject to that rule you can do what you propose but you will not be able to re-enter the US until you have completed the Consular Processing.
I don't think I said it can be completed in one year time. The processing time for consular process may vary depending on which country you are applying from, and these times are not very transparent, but you could check with you US Consulate/Embassy to see if they disclose the expected processing time. As usual, this is not legal advice! Please seek the advice of a lawyer for specific questions. Thanks
@@OscarsGreenCard Thank you so much for a detailed response. Maybe I misunderstood about one year Consular processing time. I am sorry. Yeah, agree with you, I will check it with any legal firm. Thanks :)
@@OscarsGreenCard Hello Oscar, What are the rejection/denial Chances for IVP after I-140 approval for EV2-NIW ? I also need to file I-824 as I left US and will have to go for NVC instead of AOS
quite low as long as you have been truthful in your I-140 petition@@mumairb1
Hello Oscar, thank you for such informative and detailed videos.
But in case of the Consular Processing EB 2 NIW approved you don't need the affidavit of support (where actually the button for uploadng should be)... and so there is no buttons to upload Civil Docs when you applying DS 260. NVC publishes on their web site that they won't begin to review the DS 260 if you do not upload civil docs... So how civil docs should be uploaded?
You do not need affidavit support for EB2 NIW. Also, right now for EB2 NIW they are requesting mailing the civil documents, NOT uploading them. Please follow the instructions from the welcome letter. Only the DS-260 is submitted electronically. In my course I explain that.
Thank you Oscar,
By the way, I sent you an email through your website regarding the payment for the EB2- NIW course.
Let's say that someone's I-140 is approved through a consular process and a visa awarded for the US; will the person be granted a temporary job authorization while waiting for the permanent residence status?
Thank you
No, I-140 does not give any right
Hola Oscar. El el certificado de la maestria la envia wes directamente a uscis o se envía con el paquete completo de I-140? Muchas gracias
Lo entregas con el paquete a USCIS
Hola Oscar si no soy cientifico sino un emprendedor con maestria que puedo colocar en la parte 6 del i-140 "Basic information about the proposed employment- Job titel-SOC code-Nonthecnical job description?

Thanks, Oscar, I am an Electrical engineer from China, for nuclear power plant design, over 20 years. To approve my history membership, what documents should I collect/submit?
Hi, I can't provide specific advice...
Hello Oscar, just one more question about consular processing. Is it possible to hire a law firm for the first part of the process, which is preparing and sending the I-140, and then, "do-it-yourself" style for the second phase. I'd apply from abroad, so I guess I don't need I-485. Thanks again for all your help!
Yes to both , you don't need to continue with the lawyer and you will not do i-485 in your case . Good luck!
Thank you Oscar. Please the main applicant did not attend to the NVC Invitation after one year does that make the approved I-140 invalid? The clear question is can approved i140 expire?
Probably, but nothing stops you from trying . Yes, and I-140 can "expire" , it's not an expiration but they can consider your case abandoned
@@OscarsGreenCard Thank you for your unwavering commitment here. Please, I have another question: if you know exactly when the green card will get to us after arriving in the US again, please? What would you advise someone who will not be staying permanently in the US after the green card has been collected but will be coming in once or twice a year till he or she makes up is mind to stay permanently?
I don't give that kind of advice, consult a lawyer if you have these type of specific questions about your case. The green card is to stay *permanently*, which means you have to mantain residence in the US for at least 180 days a year and show you are indeed residing @@obasanjobolarinwa6904
Oscar is the best independent advisor for EB2 visa I recommend him
Hey Oscar. Thanks for the great work you are doing. My question is once you apply from abroad and if your petition and interview is cleared and you get the visa. What happens after you enter usa. How long will it take to get greencard. And how would we be able to travel outside usa while greencard is in process?
Hi, thanks for your kind words. If you pay the USCIS immigrant fee as soon as you get stamped it should take a few days to a couple of weeks after you enter the US, if circumstances are normal .
Very informative. Thank you
you're welcome!
Hello Oscar, many thanks for this detailed video. I am confused a little bit... for example, if I will be in the US and get the J visa with 2y home req., and have I-140 approved...then I will not be able to get green card till I finish the requirements or get J waiver?
correct
Hi Oscar thanks for the video. I am filing from overseas but cant find the filing location on USCIS website. The filing locations are provided for US only. any idea?
If you are asking for I-140, there is no difference between filing from abroad and from the US. They all go to USCIS. I explain this in detail in my course payhip.com/b/gfuRU
@@OscarsGreenCard Hi Oscar Yes I am asking about I140. In USCIS it does not show any filing address for filing from overseas. Only US states are listed. So I am not sure what address i send my application to.
How to pay the NVC fees if we dont have a US bank account and live abroad?
I contacted the embassy to check on the EB2-NIW and they told me you cannot petition yourself. I even cited the USCIS website which clearly states that you can self petition and they still said no.
yes, they are wrong. You can self petition
Hello Oscar, very informative video.
Thanks for commenting!
@@OscarsGreenCard what about engineers working in industry providing solutions? What they can offer which has a vast level of benefit to all industries in US?
@@khans3502 that will depend on the exact field. Depending your profile you can see if the US government considers it of national importance and how you can frame your petition
@@OscarsGreenCard I saw from one of your video to show that my work is in National Interest like congress.gov which is fantastic. But, to show the work I have done is of larger implications in US is possible only in case of a researcher. What do you think?
@@khans3502 i can't agree with that . There's so many professions and profiles that can claim national importance. Let's say you are an engineer working in infrastructure related to renewable energy. It's quite easy to make the connection between your contributions and the US climate objectives. You don't need to publish research at all to be able to write a good petition
Hi Oscar. Thank you for the useful video. I paid the fees and completed the DS 260, however, I can not see any button to start uploading my civil documents. Do you know, how can I do that? Your response is highly appreciated.
Hi Hussien, please check these instructions, this is all I know> travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-8-scan-collected-documents/step-9-upload-and-submit-scanned-documents.html
Hi, Oscar. I think this the wrong information about uploading the Civil documents. There is no uploading tab for EB2 NIW programme by nvc.
I face problems about it, and later, I inquire about it. So, I had to dispatch the documents to NVC
@@faysalamin1148 some people get a requirement to submit the documents by mail , I have seen that
Thank you for very informative video. I regularly followed your video and guideline for EB2 NIW. I filed by myself and approved in 3 months on February 5,2024. Online status showing that approval notice sent to NVC..you will get responce from NVC till March 6,2024. No any responce yet from NVC. Will you please guide in how much time I can get responce from NVC?
Congratulations. It takes a couple of months at least, sometimes longer.
Hi Oscar! I hope you are doing well! My I-140 NIW has been approved, and I received a letter from the NVC stating that my case is currently not eligible for further processing due to the limited number of visas, and I should wait until my priority date is lower than that in the bulletin. The letter does not contain any instructions regarding document submission and fee payment. In your opinion, is this the expected situation? I am applying abroad (consular processing). Thank you very much.
Hi! I would read the letter carefully, if this is not the welcome letter with the login instructions then you can't do much at the moment. Congrats on your approval
Thank you so much!@@OscarsGreenCard
Hi Oscar, what about financial information? Do we need to prove we have money to arrive to the US? how do we deal with that? please let me know ...thanks
No, you don't
you mentioned the Vaccination : one who never got Covid Vaccin , how 's that work ?
You'll get a list of required vaccines and you'll need to get them before the interview
Oscar, thanks for the video! If I submitted my i140 with consular processing and got approved, but in between I traveled to the US in legal work visa (l1), can the process change to be AOS instead as being in US? Any thoughts welcome.
My understanding is that if your priority date is current you can just submit your AOS petition to USCIS , and let the NVC know about your intention to proceed with AOS by using this contact form travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html
Of course, for personalized advice you may contact a lawyer
Thanks Oscar for the insights. 👍
Hi Oscar. Thank you for this insightful and helpful video.
I want to ask if visa availability still depends on country of birth even when the person is not currently in the country of birth but in another country apart from the US (Country B for example).
2. Does the person need to go back to the country of birth from Country B to attend the visa interview?
I will appreciate your responses
Hi! Thanks for your words. Regarding your questions:
1-Yes, always country of birth, doesn't matter where you are or what's your citizenship.
2-No, you can choose any consulate
Hello Oscar, the Affidavit of Support is a bit confusing. For a self-petitioning EB2-NIW who has never resided/worked in the US and relocating with family, how should one go about the Affidavit of Support especially when NVC sent a letter asking to include an Affidavit of Support. The income of the self petitioner may never meet up and may not meet up the poverty bench mark. Also, as one that was exempted from paying the Affidavit of support fees, should form I-864W be filled out instead? Kindly advise.
Affidavit of support is not needed if you are in NIW. Just mark NA on the sheet@@SharonAzubuike-Osu
Okay, thank you.!
Hi Oscar, in Online, where should I upload the cover sheet ?
I don´t know what you are referring to
may I clarify something, Oscar.... does visa allocation depend on the COUNTRY of birth or current CITIZENSHIP?
Hi, as the video and the slide say...country of BIRTH
Thanks for the information. However, if I send everything by post, how do I check if the progress of my application? Does USCIS or NVC send a number of my case or anything similar?
You'll have access to the CEAC portal online , that's the first step in consular processing , to open the online profile
@@OscarsGreenCard thanks Oscar. I have followed your tutorial. Only after I receive by mail the result of my petition I will be able to have CEAC online access. Thanks again.
@@colinsokolkuka3691 Yes, of course. Your I-140 approval has to come before you enter the consular processing step@colinsokolkuka3691
Hi Oscar, thsi video was very useful. Thank you. I wanted to ask two questions: 1) how much money do we have to show in our bank accounts if we are going through NIW EB2? 2) do you think it is necessary to apply for consular processing through a lawyer? I have travelled to other countries before so I am confident that I can complete everything myself. Do you think it is worth to spend about 4500 USD in lawyer fee after getting I-140 approval just for filing the visa application? Thansk alot.
1-not required 2-it's up to you, but I think the process is easy
@OscarsGreenCard thanks alot. Really appreciate it
Are you going to consult any case of EB2NIW?
This is the only service I offer eb2niw.info/services/ Thanks!
Oscar can you tell us what format of I-94 we have to add to our package? if we have previous
history of travel to the US and are applying for the eb2/niw ?
You just need to go to the official website and download a fresh copy. Google I-94 and you'll get the the .gov website
Thanks for the clear explanation. However, I have 2 questions.
1. Can I apply for myself(principal applicant) now and attend the consular process alone then after 6 months ,pay for my 4 dependants.
2. In my welcome letter from NVC, I was told to submit affidavit of support. Is this because of the dependants on my petition? Or is it a new criteria. Kindly advise
1. No 2. I am quite sure you were not told that. You were given a list and you can select N/A
OK, is it compulsory to pay and attend the consular interview with all my dependants at once, or can I do mine first then in 6month apply for my dependants
Which consulates can I choose from? Current country of residence? Country of my citizenship? Country of birth? I found some consulates are hugely backlogged
Country of birth or residence only
Hi Oscar, I am in the process of paying the fees. Does the Affidavit of support and financials apply to NIW petitioners? Is it only civil documents and the forms that I need to submit?
No, you don't need that affidavit for NIW
@@OscarsGreenCard Thanks. Please keep up the great work you are doing.
@@TheMenameno Thanks!!
Hi Oscar, please do i have to submit my passport photographs to the NVC? Its not on my document cheklist page. Is it supposed to be part of the supporting documents? Please advise

Hello Oscar, quick question. Is it possible for one to be approved by uscis i-140 and be disapproved after the interview by nvc?
Hi Temitope, of course...otherwise there wouldn't be an interview. For example, if they detect signs of the petitioner having claimed something that is not true,that could be a big issue!
Hello Oscar,I am a medical doctor working in Ethiopia,I hvnt done my post graduate residency,iwhat are the requirements to apply for Eb2 NIW VISA?Is It required to clear USMLE and obtain a lisence?

Hi Oscar, I have a question. I have an approved I-140 from EB2-NIW with a priority date of October 1, 2023, and I received a notification from NVC because I applied outside of the U.S. Due to delays in getting my priority date current, I applied for EB1A and recently got it approved. Since the EB1A priority date is current, will I receive another notification from NVC? My EB1A priority date is also October 1, 2023, and it is current, but I have not received any notification from NVC, and it has been more than 3 weeks since my EB1A was approved. Will I receive another notification from NVC, or is it one notification for EB1/EB2?
Yes, another one, they are separate applications. 3 weeks is not that long.
Congrats!
Hi Oscar, need to confirm one thing. Adjustment of status means that you already have a US visa for instance B1-B2 visit visa and now u are applying for NIW EB2 then you need to tick ✔️ the adjustment of status on form? Is there any form which is called adjustment if status form?
Hi Wardah, both are correct. In the I-140 form you need to indicate if you will later file an adjustment of status. Then, when your priority date is current, you will need to file an actual adjustment of status form (I-485).
Alternatively to all of this, you may indicate you are abroad and will receive the final approval through consular processing.
I have visit visa B1-B2 and if I am applying for EB2 NIW, should I send an adjustment of the status form along with my application? Or when my case got acceptance then need to send this form?
@@WardahNaeemBukhari I don't provide specific advice to your case. you may consult with a lawyer if you need that. However I can say that currently it is not possible to file I-140 and adjustment of status concurrently due to the long backlog
Hello
Thank you for your detailed video. How much should pay for DS-260?
Hi Bahara. The form DS-260 does not have a direct cost, but before sending it you have to pay the Visa Application fee, which is currently $345. You can read all of this here eb2niw.info/2022/12/03/guide-to-consular-processing-for-eb2-niw-green-card/

Hi, affidavit of support is not needed for NIW, Regarding the civil documents it is possible they have asked you to mail them instead, check the letters you received from them to read the instructions
I have the same problem now, could you find it? I can’t charge my documents and I don’t see any option in my account for do it. I completed the DS-260 five days ago. Could you help me please 🙏🏻
