Can I use consultancies to prepare my EB-2 NIW petition?

Yes, you can turn to consultancies to prepare the EB-2 NIW petition. This support is legitimate and quite common, as long as you know what to expect from the service and how to choose who will carry out the work alongside you.

A good consultancy mainly helps organize and shape the case:

• Document organization: gathering and arranging diplomas, letters, publications, and other evidence coherently.
• Argument strategy: highlighting what truly demonstrates the merit of your work and its relevance to the national interest.
• Process monitoring: keeping deadlines and stages under control, reducing the risk of formal errors.

The care lies in the choice. Prefer companies or professionals with proven credentials and a verifiable track record, research references, and talk to those who have already been through the process. Be wary of aggressive marketing and of any promise of guaranteed approval: no one can ensure the outcome of a petition.

Even with support, the responsibility for the truthfulness of the information is yours, so it is worth checking the current rules at the official source and treating the consultancy as reinforcement, not a shortcut.
