I140 NIW approved after appeal kkkkkk12008-08-20 22:24:34

Hope it helps for other people in same water.

PhD from US, 3 first Author paper but less than 20 citations, which was the basis for the denial (original and REF) by IO375. Self-prep, but REF prepared by lawyer, who suggesting re-apply, but I decided to appeal at last moment ($1600 extra) in July. Emphasis on novel/cutting edge/important but overlooked/research area to explain low citation also backed up by 5 references from RFE. Approved in 2 months: lawyer believes it never reaches AAO but approved within NSC during motion of reopen. Good luck.

我也是被IO375 RFE的, 现在还在准备回复, 哎! 担心呀

回复：I140 NIW approved after appeal

Appeal or Motion of Reopen? in NSC or AAO ? 3x
