About this document

A Russian-language ebook about preparing a DIY EB-2 NIW I-140 petition, with the author's own background, process overview, and step-by-step filing guidance.

Key points

  • Lists the four NIW prongs: advanced degree or exceptional ability, substantial merit and national importance, ability to advance the endeavor, and benefit of waiving labor certification.
  • Compares separate vs concurrent filing of I-140 and I-485, including costs, risk, EAD, and travel document timing.
