PunchesPilot7:
A few questions for you.
1. Do you have a FAA ATPL Certificate?
2. Do you have any sort of FAA pilot training done to add to your qualifications?
I find it hard that you got denied for the EB2-NIW with your experience as you have stated. However it also boils down on how you frame your argument witht USCIS and how you position yourself towards the need of the United States as part of a national interest solution.
I have a fraction of your total time with a non aviation related degree and I was approved last year. You can say I was one of the few who got lucky but it seems to me it really is how the packet was composed and what kind of evidence you provided with your case.
If you are really intent on working in the US, there is always the diversity visa or gamble another $700 to write another packet.
keep the blue side up.
