EB-2 NIW Self-Petition Organizer: Evidence Checklist & Letter Planner (PDF)

An EB-2 NIW self-petition succeeds or fails on how clearly your evidence maps to the three Dhanasar prongs. This organizer turns that legal test into worksheets and checklists, so your I-140 package is complete, ordered and easy for an officer to follow.

What’s inside

• The three Dhanasar prongs in plain English, including the 2025 policy tightening
• Prong-by-prong evidence worksheets: endeavor statement builder, well-positioned checklist and balance argument
• The 5–7 recommendation letter planning matrix, where each letter has a specific job
• The complete I-140 filing package checklist in assembly order
• A timeline tracker and themes to prepare for an RFE

Who it’s for
