For the I-140, the petition used in cases such as the EB-2 NIW, the focus is not on the number of pages but on the clarity and relevance of what you present. The adjudicating officer needs to review the case with ease, and a bloated submission does not help with that.
Instead of targeting a page count, structure the petition logically and prioritize the evidence that genuinely supports the case. A well-organized presentation tends to facilitate review and reduce the risk of misunderstandings during adjudication.
- Prioritize relevant evidence over volume.
- Use a table of contents and number or label each exhibit.
- Keep declarations and supporting documents clearly identified.
Because assembly guidelines and formatting requirements may have specific instructions, it is best to follow the updated official guidance from USCIS for the I-140 or work with a qualified specialist, rather than relying on informal page-count rules.
