2017年7月到9月NIW批准案件分析

ZhangAssociates

从2017年7月到9月，我们事务所有97个NIW申请顺利获得批准, 其中79个申请没有经过RFE就直接获得了批准。

在3个月所批准的97个NIW案件中，大部分（占总人数67%）申请者拥有博士学位；26个申请者，或者说占总人数27%左右的申请者，提交申请时拥有硕士学位。这些申请者中的大多数人从事医学、生物和工程研究，其他则专注于经济学、视觉效果和文化研究等领域。那些在医 学、生物和工程领域工作的申请者被迫与大量的申请者竞争。其结果是，移民局只能批准其中最强的申请。

博士65（件）67%
硕士26（件）27%
本科6（件）6%

那些拥有“博士后研究员”，“研究科学家/工程师”、“助理教授”或其他类似职衔的人主要从事教学研究工作，撰写论文，以及参加会议等等。由于研究工作的性质，这一类申请者更容易通过客观证据显示他们已经拥有全国性的影响力，易于通过更客观的证据（例如，引用、下载、成果商业化等等）保持过去成就的记录。当然，即使您觉得缺乏此类证据，也不要泄气。因为，每一个申请都是不同的，移民局能够认可您对美国有内在价值的独特资格和技能，不会仅仅根据具体数据来审核申请。我们事务所的经验丰富的律师将帮助您突出您最强的专业才能，同时淡化您较弱的部分。

另外，我们还从这些案例中总结了其它相关数据。这些申请者的发表论文数量中间值是7篇，独立引用次数中间值是74次，申请的平均处理时间是219天或七个月多几天。批准案件最长的处理时间是491天，最短是21天。

发表论文数量中间值7（篇）
独立引用次数中间值74（次）
平均处理时间219（天）

2016年12月27日，美国移民局行政上诉办公室（AAO）在「Matter of Dhanasar案例」的裁决及解释中，认为以前NYSDOT最初确立的NIW申请三重标准条件定义太模糊，需要更新。AAO在「Matter of Dhanasar案例」中确立了一个新的衡量国家利益NIW申请条件的标准。因为移民官对新的标准需要有一个学习了解乃至消化的过程，NIW的平均处理时间和过去相比有了大幅度的延长。

对于出生在中国大陆的NIW EB-2申请人来说，需要等待较长时间的排期才能递交身份调 整申请。不过请注意，如果您的配偶出生在除中国大陆或印度以外的其他国家或地区（ 包括港澳台三地），您在递交NIW申请时，可借用配偶出生所在地的移民名额，同时递 交身份调整申请，无需等待排期。此外，如果您在NIW批准后做出了更大更重要的成果，也可以考虑申请EB-1。

在文章的最后，我们建议，在开始申请之前，申请人最好先向经验丰富的律师进行咨询。我所经验丰富的律师已经对NIW的新标准有了相应的了解和实践，并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。您可以联系律师作免费咨询: info@hooyou.com
