I believe proof of residency in the UK would be key. As I recall, that was the main issue for me.
-
I tried transferring but I was rejected.

Just planning my move to the US, but curious if it's permitted to work in Canada in the interim after initially crossing the border to the US in early January (looking for a house), then returning to Canada for 6 weeks before finally moving and transporting our belongings in late February. So is it possible to work in Canada in the interim (after the initial border crossing) until late February?

I am a healthcare worker, working in the field of mental health and addiction. With the opiate epidemic, expediting would be important since treating opiate addiction is a large part of my work. No luck with expedite requests however.

I have a question about EB2 NIW expectations. I plan to move to the US in January 2023, but would like to go down there first to look for a house for 2-3 weeks, then return to Canada and transport all belongings. So it may take a month or so after my initial entry before I can start work. Is this an issue?

Update EB2 NIW petition received by USCIS April 2020 USCIS approval Dec 2021 DQ'd May 27 2022 Interview and approval: Sept 23, 2022 I tried expediting my interview twice after being DQ'd , but was denied both times. I was surprised to receive my interview date in September. Interview was straightforward.
-
thank you @ALC and @immishok Very helpful!
-
Yes but under the NIW, one needs to outline an endeavour or enterprise that they plan to work towards. I'm curious about the level of scrutiny, level of monitoring. Is there a rough outline somewhere? I plan to open a healthcare clinic, but early months will require marketing, finding office space, etc. So minimal caseload early on. I just hope there is some understanding from US immigration that this takes time and there are many aspects to running a clinic aside from seeing patients, especially in the early stages.
-
For those applying for EB2-NIW, what are the specific requirements after approval and entering the US? Are there specifications on number of hours of work per week? Permitted vacation time? I can't seem to find details about this.

Good luck tomorrow!

Any updates on Mandamus? Also curious about various fees attorneys charge to file a mandamus case. Joshua Goldstein's law firm said I have a strong case. I was DQ'd in late May 2022. They charge a flat fee of $5400 USD Mandamus lawsuits seem to be their expertise, but I still need to compare this fee to other firms.

Keep us all posted!
-
Amazing! I appreciate you taking this important step on behalf of all of us. I will private message you!

I wonder if this is an issue to be brought to the media ie. Fox news. Fox news is great at pointing out deficiencies in the current administration's policies. Obviously illegal immigration remains a hot topic in the US, but there continue to be high numbers of illegal immigrants entering the US, whereas people using appropriate channels, who will be productive members of the US economy are waiting 26 months for an interview!

Yes British citizen, but moved from UK 34 years ago. I just need to check how long is required to live there to demonstrate 'residing' in the UK.
-
Thanks for your thoughts. I will certainly look into all this! I know as a British citizen, I have a 'right of abode' in the UK. Moving for a short period may be an option.
-
Interesting thought. My grandparents are permanent residents so I have an address I can use. I believe one would need to be a permanent resident (although that was not stated in London's reply) which would require me living there for some time.
-
Unfortunately the US consulate in London has rejected my request to transfer. Even though I'm a British citizen, they rejected my transfer because I don't reside in the UK. I will speak to another attorney to see what options I have now that my expedite request and transfer requests have been denied.
-
I am part of Joshua Goldstein's Visa delay facebook group. I have not yet contacted him however. Mandamus lawsuits seem to be his expertise, so he may one to contact. I'm trying to get my case transferred to the US consulate in London for now, but I'm keeping all options open since it may not work out. I personally would not trust the opinion of a lawyer who has not filed mandamus lawsuits frequently. During this journey, I have received different opinions from various attorneys. The first one informed me not to apply for EB2 NIW. I did not go along with their suggestion and instead sought another opinion, and ultimately was approved.
-
I am applying for EB2 NIW as well. I'm on board with anything right now. How many people would we need?
-
I'd say let's get an immigration attorney who is experienced in this area and get their opinion. I know these class action suits have been very successful in the past. Josh Goldstein is experienced at filing mandamus lawsuits , particularly for cases with delays in administrative processing (following interview).
-
How long did the process take for you? I would need to get a British passport which may take awhile.
-
I'm in the process of inquiring about a mandamus lawsuit, even though I was just DQ'd last week. But one attorney informed me that an unreasonable delay would be a 2 year wait after being DQ'd. It seems other attorneys have different opinions. Some start the time from when USCIS initially received the application. Also what an 'unreasonable delay' means depends on each individual case. I would be on board!!
-
Does anyone here have experience moving their case from one embassy to another? I'm curious what this process entails and how long it would take typically.
-
That's for EB3. Are EB3 in the same pool as EB2??
