Green card EB2-NIW approved in 8 months — here's exactly what I did

Just got my I-140 approval for EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver). I'm sharing my timeline and strategy because I know how stressful this process is. I'm a data scientist at a mid-size company, NOT a professor or someone with 100 publications. Timeline: - Filed I-140: July 2025 ...

Congratulations! I'm also a data scientist considering NIW. Did you use a lawyer or self-petition? And roughly how much did the whole thing cost including lawyer fees?

Just want to add for others reading — EB2-NIW doesn't require employer sponsorship, which is HUGE. You can switch jobs freely after filing. I filed mine while at Company A and moved to Company B during processing with zero issues.
