> their stay in the United States would provide a significant public benefit through their business venture and that they merit a favorable exercise of discretion
Can you unpack this and explain what this means and how one can establish that this is the case?

Hi Peter, Thank you for doing this. I asked this question earlier but missed seeing your reply so I’ll state it again. Can someone who has some unused time on H1B from long time ago, use it if they have a job offer from a US tech company and is presently outside the US? It’s been 11 years since last present in US and the visa was approved a year earlier I believe. Thank you.
How much on average does it cost, in legal fees, to process a TN visa and an EB-2 Green Card application? I've had two US employers now and both have promised to bring me down and then backed off because of costs (I'll be covering relocation).
Specific to the program, USCIS states on their site [0]: > their stay in the United States would provide a significant public benefit through their business venture and that they merit a favorable exercise of discretion Can you unpack this and explain what this means and how one can establish that this is the case?

The guidance isn't crystal clear on this but the concern is that this person would be subject to the lottery again since more than 6 years have elapsed since he or she was last in H-1B status. That being said, we've had H-1B petitions approved where the gap was greater than 6 years.
I was definitely wishing to avoid the lottery but I guess it’s on case to case basis.

$160.00 filling fee. $2500 for employer to speed up process.
What's the straightest path to the US for a tech worker?
How common is it for application processing to be outside of the published processing times? I have been waiting on an I-131 since January so that I can finally leave the country to see family while my (marital) green card is processing, but I’ve seen no movement and I’m wondering if I should be worried (it’s outside of the National Benefits Center’s posted 3-5 months). I submitted a case inquiry but have not heard back yet.
