Finance Field I-140 Petition Approved in Just 11 Days with No RFE - Non-STEM NIW

Published: 2024.07.11
Among our clients at Success Immigration, one received
I-140 petition approval through the NIW category in just 11 days, with no RFE.
What is more, the client's field is 'finance', which belongs to non-STEM rather than STEM

The client is a professor of business administration and finance.
They hold a doctoral degree.
They have also written numerous papers and are active across conferences, teaching, and more,
with many awards to their name.

As for their field of expertise,
the client works in global economies and financial markets that swing
irregularly and unpredictably, contributing to 'financial market stabilization'
in a significant way.

Timeline

1. End of December 2023: NIW case processing began with Success Immigration
2. June 7, 2024: NIW I-140 petition filed with USCIS (premium processing)
3. June 17, 2024: NIW I-140 petition approved

After beginning the NIW case with the client, Success Immigration
communicated with them over six months and prepared the petition documents meticulously.

Although the client works in a non-STEM field,
they have outstanding capability in finance
and have built up an excellent record,
so we highlighted that well and made the petition documents persuasive.

And as above, after filing the petition under premium processing, in 'just 11 days' and with no RFE
they achieved the remarkable feat of immigrant petition approval on the very first try!

There is a perception that NIW can only be applied for by highly educated people
working in STEM fields.

It is certainly true that having a high level of education and working in a STEM field
is advantageous when pursuing NIW.

But STEM fields are not the only ones that can apply for NIW.

Even when an applicant is not in a STEM field,
if they have the career and achievements in their own specialty to meet the NIW criteria,
and the petition documents are well written on that basis,
NIW approval is attainable.

If you want to apply for NIW but are hesitating because you are not in a STEM field,
contact Success Immigration and we will give you an objective,
friendly consultation.
