2011 年10月到12月， 我们事务所有86个NIW案件获得批准，其中80个申请没有经过RFE
就直接获得了批准。此外，在此期间，我们所还有46个EB-1申请顺利获得批准。整个
2011年，我所共获得了286件NIW申请的批准， 206件EB-1申请的批准，815件I-485申请
的批准以及269件H-1B申请的批准。

2011年，我所共获得了286件NIW申请的批准， 206件EB-1申请的批准，815件I-485申请
的批准以及269件H-1B申请的批准。
在过去3个月所批准的86个NIW案件中，大部分（占总人数近85%）申请者拥有博士学位
。但是，其中10个申请者，或者说占总人数12%左右的申请者，只拥有硕士学位。但从
数据分析中，我们发现这些硕士学位的成功大多从事比较冷门或比较前沿的研究，因此
只要达到NIW的基本要求，加上足够优秀，将能相对顺利的获得批准。而那些在电子工
程，医学和生物领域工作的申请者被迫与大量的申请者竞争。其结果是，移民局只能批
准其中最强的。

PhD 73 84.9%

那些拥有“博士后研究员”，“研究科学家”或其他类似职衔的人主要从事教学研究工
作，撰写论文，以及参加会议。由于科学工作的性质，这一类申请者更容易通过客观证
据显示他们已经拥有全国性的影响力，和易于通过更客观的证据（例如，引用，下载，
成果商业化等等）保持过去成就的记录。 当然，即使您觉得缺乏此类证据，也不要泄
气。因为，每一个案件都是不同的，移民局能够认可您对美国有内在价值的独特资格和
技能。就像以上所说明的，移民局不会仅根据具体数据来审核申请。我们事务所的经验
丰富的律师将帮助您突出您最强的专业才能，同时淡化您较弱的部分。

另外，我们还从这些案例中总结了其它相关数据。在这些被批准的案例中，许多人从事
工程、医学、 和生物等领域的研究，也有一部分申请者从事物理、半导体等领域的研
究工作。在这些申请者中，平均发表论文数量是11篇，平均引用次数是72次，引用次数
的中间值是36次。申请的平均处理时间是187天或6个多月。批准案件最长的处理时间是
503天，最短是15天。

我所上一季度获批的NIW申请的平均处理时间是229天或7个多月。批准案件最长的处理
时间是406天，最短是37天。
对于出生在中国大陆的NIW EB-2申请人来说，需要等待较长时间的排期才能递交身份
调整申请。不过请注意，如果您的配偶出生在除中国大陆或印度以外的其他国家或地区
（包括港澳台三地），您在递交NIW申请时，可借用配偶出生所在地的移民名额，同时
递交I-485申请，无需再等待排期。

（包括港澳台三地），您在递交NIW申请时，可借用配偶出生所在地的移民名额，同时
递交I-485申请，无需再等待排期。
此外，如果您在NIW批准后出了更大更重要的成果，也可以考虑申请EB-1。EB-1类别目
前有签证名额可用，无需等待排期。不过，EB-1的审理也有变难的趋势，尤其是美国移
民局在2010年8月18日出台了一个备忘录之后。从本质上说，该备忘录将EB-1评估过程
分为两部分：1） 评估申请者是否符合移民申请类别的标准底线，以及2）决定申请者
的证据是否证明申请者达到了移民类别所要求的高水平专业资格。在第2部分审核程序
中，移民局将评估全部证据，从整体上看是否能够证明申请者在其领域内是最顶尖的。

通俗来说，对于第一步审核，移民局官员着重看申请人在单纯的“量”上是否符合要求
，在第二步审核中，移民局官员着重看申请人在总体的“质”上是否符合要求，“量”
符合要求了不一定意味着“质”符合要求。

在文章的最后我们要再次强调，在开始申请之前，申请人最好先向经验丰富的律师进行
咨询。律师会帮助申请人选择最为适合自己的申请类别，以及具体的申请策略。您可以
