    Thank you. Yes, he petitioned for his 2 of his siblings. One was petitioned in 2015 and one was petitioned in 2017. The one who was selected in the lottery was the 2015 petition. So, there is still a very long wait for that application. But, at least it's still there as a backup.

    Ugh. I’ve done more research and 23k in the Asia region isn’t good. I feel so deflated after being so excited earlier.
  3. mymarriagejourney
    Is her rank number the case number? Shes in the 23k range. I guess this is okay since 55k visas are available?
  4. mymarriagejourney
    Thank you! When we will get that rank number? I helped them fill out part of the form but then was running off with my friend for dinner and drinks so we will finish tomorrow.

    Oops! Duh! I was so excited, I was entering the wrong number into the system. 🙃 All good now. 😁

    My brother-in-law's wife won the lottery in today's posted results! I am so excited! We tried to fill out the DS-260 online and her case number is saying invalid. Is it too soon? Does it take some time for those to load into the system?

    The first place we contacted said that his was not the type of case they usually take. We contacted another firm with a money-back guarantee and they were more positive about his case but asked him to complete a couple of things before they could evaluate further. It will be a bit of a process as he takes care of those items.

    This is the firm where he submitted his details for an assessment this morning. A wait is fine.
  9. mymarriagejourney
    Thanks. He submitted an evaluation with an attorney today and expects to hear their opinion within 24 hours. He only has a masters and not a PhD, so maybe they will find that he is not suitably qualified, but it is worth having them take a look. Nothing to lose.

    I read a statistic that the visa has a 77-85% approval rate. Maybe those are mostly super qualified people, but what I read stated that it's easier to get than an EB1 or a regular EB2. Obviously, we would not want him to pursue this visa if we thought he couldn't be successful in finding employment, because his wife and two kids will be in our house until he gets on his feet, and my husband really likes having his own space. And we both consider his kids to be pains in the neck. But, we do want family nearby.

    Thank you. :)

    Ugh. can't find an edit button.

    This is why I was interested in this NIW option. He has been told by several that "we don't do those" but if he had a work visa without them having to do it, they would hire him.
  14. mymarriagejourney
    He would easily find a job if he was in the US and already had work eligibility. There seems to be a shortage of computer science professionals. He has a lot of experience. I can direct him to ask an attorney to ask if they think he qualifies if this is not a DIY process like my husband's immigration.
  15. mymarriagejourney
    It's nearly impossible to find an employer willing to sponsor a EB2. I've literally never found one, especially since he does not live in the US already.
  16. mymarriagejourney
    No, he is not in the medical field. As I listed, he is in the computer science field. I replied that he does have some publications that come up on google.

    I can't believe I just found out about this visa. My US citizen husband petitioned for his brother for F4 visa in 2015. As we all know, there are many more years of waiting for that. His brother has a master's degree (computer science), and has a PMP certification (project management professional) and is doing well in his career. There are many jobs here in the US for which he has the experience and qualifications, however, very few employers are willing to sponsor. Could this EB-2 NIW could be the answer for him?

    Maybe you can request DNA testing. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/US-Citizenship-DNA-Testing.html

    Thank you. Yes, I'm well aware of the normal timelines. We were just attempting to assist with a humanitarian issue, and it appears we cannot.
  20. mymarriagejourney
    This category would not be his situation.
  21. mymarriagejourney
    Yes, they participate in the diversity lottery each year. This wasn't a random "I'm feeling anxious and want this process to hurry up." and is actually a specific situation that falls under the humanitarian umbrella, but it seems that we cannot help.
  22. mymarriagejourney
    Thank you. It is my husband's sibling. He has children (twins) who are 5 years old. The matter is urgent, but perhaps there is nothing we can do. We have tried and we will see what happens from here.
  23. mymarriagejourney
    Thank you. I will report back as to how this is actually handled at the USCIS level. This is the current message when I check case status: "As of January 3, 2023, your request to have your case expedited, referral number XXXXXXX, is currently assigned for processing."
  24. mymarriagejourney
    I don't know her tier. She just said that it was in the humanitarian category and it would be reviewed. Thanks for the further insight.
  25. mymarriagejourney
    I guess we will see what they say, then. The agent submitted the expedite request and said we would know the result in 7 days. I wonder why she didn't tell us that when we explained the situation. She said it fell under a humanitarian request and submitted it for consideration.
