EB-2 NIW EB-1A O-1 Petition

About this document

A long sample EB-2 NIW petition cover and supporting narrative for an alien of exceptional ability in Organometallic Chemistry. It lays out the Form I-140 filing package, then argues the Dhanasar prongs with education, memberships, recommendation letters, publications, citations, talks, collaborations, and awards. The sample is organized as sections and exhibits for the applicant's background and proposed work in the United States.

Key points

  • Lists the I-140 packet contents: G-1145, I-140 fee, identity/status copies, initial evidence, statement, exhibits, and ETA-750B in duplicate.
  • States the sought classification is EB-2 NIW for exceptional ability in science under INA 203(b)(2)(B).
  • Says the evidence is meant to show exceptional ability in Organometallic Chemistry and prospective benefit to the U.S. economy, education, and welfare.
  • Breaks the NIW argument into the three Dhanasar prongs: substantial merit and national importance, strong position to advance, and benefit of waiving job offer/labor certification.
  • Cites an advanced Chemistry degree, professional memberships, and peer recognition as qualifying evidence under 8 CFR 204.5(k)(3)(ii).
  • Describes the applicant's research background, postdoctoral role, and planned continuation of chemistry work in the United States.
  • Lists 12 peer-reviewed articles, citation totals, conference talks/posters, journal cover features, collaborations, and international awards as supporting evidence.
  • Uses 30 exhibits, including CV, diplomas, rankings, transcripts, letters, publications, citations, and award certificates.
