I-140 filing on own
Hi,
Has anybody here applied I-140 on their own without a lawyers help? If so, how was your experience (and result).
I looked at the application and it did not seem tricky/difficult.
Basically they are asking for Labor cert. and aplicant credentials.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
AV.
Normaly the application is filled buy the company so no clue.
All the Mid and Big size companies have there oun Lawyers to this.
I did it myselft. Do you have LC?
I did EB2 (NIW) myself but in my employers name. NIW is a bit complicated but I went ahead myself since most the recommendation letters have to be prepared yourselves even when you have an atoney. I got a request for additional evidences and I responded. so far no result yet.
after I received my LC early this year (I did LC myself too), I filed I-140 again myselft but in my employers name. No result yet. in both cases, my employer paid the application fee.
