Common Pitfalls

I.  COMMON PITFALLS

A. Poorly Written Petitions Will Fail    

Many qualified applicants did not obtain NIW because their NIW petitions failed to clearly express their contribution for the U.S. national interest.  To ensure that petitions from our law offices do not suffer from this problem, we work extensively with our clients.  

B. Inaccurate Petition Will Cause Problems

We submit each draft to our client to review for accuracy.  We will continue to revise the petition until everything is accurate.  But more importantly, our law offices begin each petition with extensive interviews, thereby insuring that the starting point of the petition is accurate. 

C. Recommendation Letters Are Not Focused 

Treating recommendation letters as recommendation letters is a mistake.  These comments and supports from experts are better utilized as expert testimonies and creditable evidence.  Accordingly, these “recommendation letters” must be written uniquely.  By not writing them correctly, a significant amount of benefit is lost.
