Question:
Hello,
I recently graduated with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. I am currently on OPT. I don’t have any paper publications as of now. But I am working on them and they are under preparation. Also, like most PhD, I did not get a chance to present my work at conferences. To keep things simple, I don’t have any current published papers or conference papers, but I do have the degree certificate. Do you think I would have a strong case to file for EB2-NIW by myself without any employer sponsorship?
I appreciate your time and help. Any other suggestions for my case would be very valuable.
Thanks,
Answer:
EB2 is eligibility is judged based on a number of criteria. Not having publications should not mean it is not possible. Similarly just having a degree does not mean it is possible either. We suggest you look at USCIS criteria (please see the ebook on our site) for EB2 and make a list of your strengths to evaluate your case.
Best of luck
