2010年1月到3月,我们事务所共有93件NIW申请获得了批准,其中有66件未经过RFE程序就直接获得了批准。
在这三个月批准的93件申请中,大部分申请人都拥有博士学位。但是,也有12位申请人只有硕士学位,约占总人数的13%。而在这些硕士学位的申请人中,有3人从事石油天然气相关领域的工作;其中只有1位发表过文章以及参与文章审议工作,其余两位都没有这方面的经验。这与一般申请的平均水平差很多。从本质上来讲,这些信息反映了移民局目前对该领域的申请人的要求有所放宽。出于政治以及安全原因的考虑,美国非常重视石油及天然气产业。此外,与医疗科学等热门科学相比,该领域人才并没有那么饱和,也就是说申请人的竞争相对比较小。而医学和生物学等领域的申请要面对大量的申请人间的竞争,而移民局也只能选择最强有力的申请批准。通过我们的实践发现,申请人工作领域与美国社会当前需求的结合很大程度上决定了NIW申请的结果。
“博士后研究员”、“研究员/助理研究员”以及类似职位的申请人都主要从事研究工作,发表文章以及参加会议等。因为科学研究工作本身的性质,这些申请人相比之下更容易证明具有国家层次上的影响力,并且能够通过更多的客观证据证明曾经的成就(即引用、下载、商业化等)。但是,如果缺少这类的证据也并不一定就阻碍申请。因为,每个申请人的状况都不同,移民局会根据每份申请的不同资格条件以及能否为美国带来价值来评定。就像上面所讲,移民局不会仅仅凭借数据来裁决申请。经验丰富的律师能够帮助申请人在申请的准备中扬长避短。
除此之外,我们还注意到一些其他信息。大部分申请人都从事医学,生物学及工程等相关领域的研究工作,也有一些人从事计算机科学以及核物理的研究。他们平均发表的文章数为9篇,审议文章数量为1次。申请平均的处理时间为183天,大约6个月,其中最长的为910天,最短的只有15天。移民局处理NIW申请的目标时间为4个月;但目前全国NIW申请处理时间平均达到了12.3个月。根据我们的经验来看,经济衰退之前NIW申请比现在更容易获得批准。而现在,因为美国就业机会的减少,移民局明显提高了NIW申请的处理标准。作为我们事务所专业技能的证明,我们的NIW申请的批准时间远远短于全国的平均数据。
此外,从2010年1月到3月,我们事务所还获得了65件EB-1申请的批准,其中包括:41件EB-1(a),21件EB-1(b)以及3件EB-1(c)申请;其中50件申请没有经过RFE程序就获得了批准。更多关于这些EB-1申请的信息,请点击以下链接阅读文章:

在文章的最后我们要再次强调,在开始一个申请程序之前,特别是在移民局提高了NIW申请的处理标准之后,申请人最好要先向经验丰富的律师进行咨询。律师会帮助申请人选择最为适合自己的申请类别,以及具体的申请策略。
