We have data for Quarter 2 Fiscal Year 2024 from USCIS and we can understand the approval and denial rates for green cards like EB2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) and EB1A (Extraordinary Ability). I also show the top 10 list of countries by approval in each category.

Hi Oscar, I got some typygraphical error on my approved I-140. I got like this " The above petition for an NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVER-PHYSICIAN (NIW PHYSICIAN) has been approved." I wonder from where physician came to my approved I-140. Do you have any suggestion?

@OscarsGreenCard Месяц назад

That's strange, that is a rare subcategory in NIW. I assume you are not a medical doctor who applied through that unique route. You can 1-Contact Emma and ask an agent or 2-Submit a request for typographical error fix: egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=typoError

@alittlefromeverything777 Месяц назад

Hi Oscar, I am so glad I came across to your channel. Do you know how long it takes to get an RFE response if my case is premium processing? Or how I can find out? No lack with Emma. I was checking your videos to see if you might have an answer for that in your videos, but I haven't found anything yet.

They have 45 calendar days to issue the decision after RFE response is delivered

@edwardt2417 Месяц назад

Are the Top 10 countries for approvals shown countries of origin or countries of current permanent residence of applicants? For example, if someone was born in country X but now lives in and are applying from country Y, which country appears on the top 10 list - X or Y? I would imagine it's X? As for the hike in USCIS fees, I could be wrong, but my guess is that for people who are applying for EB1 and EB2 NIW, the increase in USCIS fees is not going to be a factor as to whether they submit an application or not. Time will tell when stats for Q3 come out..

@OscarsGreenCard Месяц назад

Country of birth . And yes, I agree that the fee increase is probably not going to deter most people but like you said, we will see soon!

@mylifeisinhishandsamen4167 Месяц назад

Hi Oscar, must the recommendation letter have numbers to support your achievement. For instance, "the analysis done by the petitioner revealed X and after implementing the ideas based on his analysis, we have seen an increase of 10% in sales?". I mean is it enough to say the petitioner is well skilled citing the kind of task he has done or it is a must for the impact of the petitioner's work to be quantified? Basically, will approval be denied if impact is not quantified?

@sairasaggu8623 Месяц назад

16:11 Oscar, I think, one of the reasons for the inflation of the number petitions is that a lot of so called consultants have emerged who are not actually competent or qualified to craft the petitions and they are persuading more and more people to apply for EB2 NIW even if they are not eligible just to earn money for themselves and are not genuinely concerned about the applicants.

@OscarsGreenCard Месяц назад

Hi Oscar, lots people noticed that beginning from late May 2024 the EB2 NIW Premium Processing is taking much longer than before (even seems much longer than late April). I wonder if you have any opinion or guess about the reason ? Some people say USCIS raised the bar.......

@azadypirhanov4857 Месяц назад

Hello Oscar great stuff! Could you check approval rates for ROW? I think relatively high approval rates in India&China somehow skews the data?

@OscarsGreenCard Месяц назад

Thanks! They don't provide the data in that way. And I suspect you are mixing approvals with approval rates. Approval rates are the % of approvals out of the submitted cases. Approvals (not rate) is the absolute number of petitions approved. China and India have large approval numbers because they submit many petitions

@abidshahzadiub 25 дней назад

Many people say that age plays a vital role in EB2. The USA does not need people over 50, considering that they will be retired soon and will not pay taxes to the Govt for a longer time. As soon as they retire, they will become the liability of the US government to spend thousands of dollars on them in their old age. How come if a person spends 50 years of age in another country and then lands in the USA to become a liability..... Need your comments, please? Do you have evidence of the successful cases in 50 or 55+, please?

@OscarsGreenCard 25 дней назад

I can't comment on perception issues. Based on the requirements, this is not true . I'm not in the officer's minds to know if this plays a role or not, but there's no evidence to back it up. In general, I see an overwhelming majority of young (or relatively young) professionals applying

According to Nigeria, it seems that the process is not fair. Democrats just grant this visa using DEI principles.

@Ehcufie Месяц назад

This isn’t true. There is no DEI quota for NIW approvals. Nigerians are very well educated , these days getting a masters degree is almost in the same category as getting an undergraduate degree for many Nigerians. They are intelligent, daring and ambitious. They are not fulfilling a DEI quota

@edwardt2417 Месяц назад

This is a DUMB and RIDICULOUS assertion! If DEI played a role in these approvals, many of the other countries in the Top 10 would have already met any such quota and Nigeria would not be needed to be bumped up in the numbers!

@OscarsGreenCard Месяц назад

Simply not true. I agree with the person that already replied. To start with, officers are not democrats...each one may have their political sentiment and position, but they are officers at the end of the day. While the administration can influence guidances and tranining of personnel, there is absolutely no indication that DEI principles are applied on these processes. If you have proof I would love to see it and I can even promise to make a video on it. Cheers
