Akhil reports on an online discussion involving EB-2 National Interest Waiver applicants, where refund policies and the use of premium processing are being examined based on publicly shared experiences.

USA - Recent online discussions among EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) applicants have drawn attention to how refund policies are interpreted when petitions receive Requests for Evidence (RFEs) or are denied. The discussion, shared on a public immigration forum, reflects broader concerns held by some applicants navigating the U.S. immigration process.

According to a detailed post published on Reddit, an EB-2 NIW applicant described their experience with a law firm’s refund-related terms after their I-140 petition received an RFE. The applicant stated that refund expectations were not met once Premium Processing was selected, prompting wider conversation among other forum participants with similar immigration pathways.

The discussion centers on refund language that applicants say they understood as a full refund guarantee in the event of a denial. Contributors to the forum note that the refund conditions, as they interpret them, appear to change when Premium Processing is requested. Premium Processing is an optional service offered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that expedites case review for an additional government fee.

Several participants in the online thread observed that RFEs for EB-2 NIW petitions often arrive within the first 45 days of filing. Forum users noted that this timing can influence applicants’ decisions to opt for Premium Processing, particularly when delays could affect employment plans or immigration status continuity. These observations are based on personal experiences shared publicly and are not presented as official USCIS policy.

The Reddit discussion also includes commentary on case volume and internal processing practices, referencing publicly available employee reviews from third-party platforms. These comments reflect individual opinions and perceptions rather than verified operational data. Contributors emphasized the importance of applicants independently reviewing contractual terms and understanding how optional services may affect refund eligibility.

In addition to sharing experiences, some forum participants expressed interest in connecting with others to better understand common challenges faced during the EB-2 NIW process. The discussion highlights a broader need for clarity, transparency, and careful review of legal agreements when engaging immigration services, especially in complex visa categories such as the National Interest Waiver.

Immigration professionals and independent experts frequently advise applicants to review refund policies carefully and seek written clarification before signing agreements. Online discussions such as this one underscore how applicants increasingly rely on peer-shared information to navigate immigration systems that are often time-sensitive and document-intensive.
