Hi Oscar, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but in your hypothetical scenario (starting at 10:22), the year for the I-140 submission onwards should be 2024, not 2023.

I am from Pakistan. I had a query that what if I visit US through tourist visa and there i ask to change my status from Tourist visa to EB2 NIW without any job offer as NIW only requires masters degree. So the question is how much time estimated would it take to change the status and 2nd Question that can i immediately call my immediate family members after getting EB 2 visa or if not immediately so how much time could it take to call family ?

conversation essentially starts at 8:00
It’s too bad that I have to filter a large amount of flood before I find the information I need. it takes a lot of mental strength.
I understand that you already do a lot. but it would be much better if you gave a short answer to the point at the very beginning and spent the rest of the time explaining why this is so

Hi Osacar, I have some questions

1. My approval is beyond 60 days now and no welcome letter from NVC is this normal?

2. Do you give service in the NVC stage for consular processing or can you recommend materials for me to read, watch and follow as examples.

3. I need clearance for this if possible. During the interview with the visa officer, do we need to show proof of funds and housing accommodation?

4. My PD is June 2023 can you give estimates on when date can become current?

Thanks for the good work!

This vlog came a little too late for me. I have a B2 but I am not in the US. I contemplated if going for the EB2 would risk my 10yr Visa and I could not get a straigth answer, so with a heavy heart I risked it. Can you say if I am denied the EB2 approval if it would affect my B2 Visa status to reenter for vacation?

Hello Oscar, thank you so much for this valuable information I’m following you from months ago,

I already submitted from Colombia my I-140 form and have received no response so far, but in the case it’s approved
I have a question, I hold a L1 (dual intent )Visa which allow me to stay in the US close to 3 years, If I cross the border right now, do you believe it would be enough time to process the AOS within the US?

Hi, Thank you for information. How long will 485 take if I have approved 140 and I am current but having tourist visa?

[susanramos]

Hello Oscar! Can someone with more than 20 years of work experience but is currently unemployed eligible to apply for EB2 NIW?

[mangus]

A partir de cuando estoy habilitado para buscar trabajo en USA? Hasta cuando tengo fecha para irme a USA? Puedo ir y volver a USA de paseo hasta conseguir un buen trabajo antes de mudarme?

[faizamunir]
