For everyone who is looking to apply on NIW Eb-2. Don't waste thousands of $$ on lawyers. We applied on our own on Oct 08 2021, and on Feb 23 2022 out I-140 was successfully approved. I know it's not a final stage, but it means that this stream for pilots is working. My partner who is a petitioner has 10,000 hrs, Bachelor's Degree and French military ATC license, and employed with Canadian airline as a SIC. P.S. no need to do any conversion.
