How many people, on average, does USCIS assign to review my case?

When initiating an EB‑2 NIW process, it is natural to wonder how USCIS will conduct the review of your case. Generally, the standard procedure provides that a single immigration officer is assigned to review your petition. This person will be responsible for examining all the documents and evidence submitted, ensuring that the case meets the established criteria.

It is important to highlight that, although the review is initially done by a single officer, there may be revisions or requests for additional information during processing. In some situations, the case may be re-evaluated by a team or a supervisor, especially if there are doubts or the need for a more detailed opinion.

However, this practice does not mean that multiple people are working simultaneously on the review of each case – the main point of contact remains the initially assigned officer. Staying informed and strictly following immigration laws is fundamental.

Therefore, if you are considering filing a petition or have questions about your process, seek reliable sources and avoid falling for guarantees of results circulating in dubious marketing campaigns. Remember that each case is unique and should be evaluated based on the specific documentation and evidence presented.

In summary, for an EB‑2 NIW petition, normally a single USCIS officer leads the review of your case, although the process may involve complementary reviews to ensure compliance with the criteria required by United States immigration law.
