An applicant for the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) has reported receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE) concerning all three prongs of their application. The RFE was issued by the Texas Service Center in January 2026, with a response due by April 2026. The applicant’s proposed endeavor involves creating an AI-driven fraud detection and digital identity verification platform for fintech environments, framed as an independent project not tied to a single employer.
Key Details:
- RFE Date: January 2026
- Response Due: April 2026
- Proposed Endeavor: AI-driven fraud detection platform
- Education: MS in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, with 10+ years in software engineering
The RFE raised concerns regarding the national importance of the project, the applicant’s positioning, and the justification for waiving the PERM process. The applicant’s attorney suggests restructuring the response to be more objective and focused on high-impact supplemental letters.
This case highlights the complexities faced by EB-2 NIW applicants, particularly in demonstrating the broader impact of their work and the urgency of their endeavors.
