So, went through all Eb-2 NIW on my own, without any lawyers. Have the final green card interview this month. You don't need to pay thousands of dollars to any lawyers. it's either you get it or not.
AS long as you prepare a good file to send to USCIS.

How long did you wait after being documentarily complete to receiving the inteview letter schedule? What Embassy? What is your priority date?
So, originally, it was Montreal, but you have 0 chances to get anything there. I was able to transfer to another embassy in Europe, cause of my other citizenship. Because of that, my new DQ date was January, and IL was received end of March.

What is your consulte/embassy? there is a forum called Visajourney, and people from all around the world are posting their timelines. All you need to do is find the country of your embassy and visa category. But, if you are in Canada, it's a 2 year wait time. Especially now, with retrogression..its getting harder to get an interview. So, it's pointless to pay the lawyer even. Our priority date was Oct 2021, the date we filed I-140. Will keep posted how the interview will go.

What I have learnt is that to be successful you need something extra other than 1000’s of hours. Any kind of training position will be of benefit, working in safety etc You have to be able to make the case that what you have to offer is going to benefit the US. and you have to have people to be able to write letters, testifying to that.
Good luck
Good luck
Seems this forum is filled with objective recommenders :-)
At the moment I’m struggling with an RFE 😖

About the recommendation letter, you have objective and subjective recommenders. Oscar the scientist 👨🔬, talks about recommendation letters. I can’t post links yet, but you can look up “Independent recommendation letters: minimize RFEs - EB2 NIW” on youtube.

As a side note related to choosing attorneys, please do your due diligence. Research the attorney to make sure they can practice law in the US. You can easily go to the State BAR website and search by name. In my immigration practice, I have represented numerous victims of immigration fraud as it's very common in the US.

The process is long, expensive, excruciating and unpredictable.
Took me 8 months to compile my application and 8 days for the approval.
The wait for the PD is longer and feel that the seniority boat will be long gone by the time I get my visa.

Hayman Woodward is asking 25.000 USD way out of standard average market price from other firm laws.
Anyone else waiting for an interview at your country"s US Embassy?
How long have you been waiting and were you affected by the retrogression in the Visa Bulletin for June?

Hello Everyone,
I made it, I got approved, all done my myself alone after researching the internet and sharing ideas with other pilots. My profile:
- FO, Wide Body, Less than 4000 hrs, EASA ATP, EU Citizen
- Maters Degree in Aeronautical Engineering
- 6 years Work Experience as Engineer, 7 Years as FO
- Aviation Freelance Consultant
- No Papers, No publications, 4 Ref. Letters
- I used common sense and good arguments
I got a direct approval, no RFE
It took me 4 months to write, after researching the internet for a year. I got some guidance from people I met in FB groups. Lawyers asked for 18k $ non refundable paid upfront. The same lawyers ask for 5000 $ (2500 upfront and 2500$ once approved) when it is about other professions. It is for exactly this reason that I have decided to apply myself.
Good Luck everyone.
