EB-2 NIW Academy — Maintained by ImigraScore / Author: Wederson Marinho

This framework is maintained as a living document. Immigration law evolves, USCIS guidance is updated periodically, and adjudication patterns shift. Community corrections and substantive contributions improve the quality of the resource for everyone who uses it. The process is simple and the standards are strict.

What We Accept

Accepted
  • Factual corrections with a verifiable source
  • Citations to new or updated USCIS policy guidance
  • Corrections to legal citations (case names, volume numbers, page numbers)
  • Updates when adjudication practice has demonstrably shifted
  • Clarity improvements where explanation is genuinely confusing
  • Links to relevant government data sources
Not Accepted
  • Legal advice or case-specific guidance
  • Marketing or promotional content
  • Unverified claims or personal anecdotes as authority
  • Content that contradicts the Dhanasar decision
  • Changes that remove or soften legal disclaimers
  • Attribution modifications or authorship claims

How to Report an Error

  1. 01Open a GitHub Issue. Go to the repository at github.com/imigrascore/eb2-niw-framework and click "Issues," then "New Issue."
  2. 02Identify the specific claim. Name the file, section, and the exact statement you believe is incorrect.
  3. 03Provide the correct information and source. Where possible, link to the primary source: the USCIS Policy Manual, the Federal Register, a published case, or an official government document.
  4. 04Wait for review. The maintainer will review your submission, verify the source, and respond within 48 hours for substantive error reports.

How to Submit a Contribution

  1. 01Fork the repository.
  2. 02Make your changes in a clearly named branch. Include your source in the commit message.
  3. 03Submit a pull request with a description of what changed, why, and what source supports it. Changes without sources will not be merged.
  4. 04Review criteria: accuracy (is it correct?), sourcing (is it verifiable?), compliance (does it maintain appropriate disclaimers?), and relevance (does it belong in this framework?).
What this project does not accept

This is an educational framework about the legal standard, not a forum for legal advice or case-specific analysis. Questions about individual cases should be directed to a licensed immigration attorney.

Policy Updates and Maintenance

This framework is reviewed when USCIS issues significant policy guidance or when the Board of Immigration Appeals or the Administrative Appeals Office issues a precedent decision materially affecting EB-2 NIW adjudication. Updates are logged in the CHANGELOG.

If you are aware of a relevant policy change or new precedent decision that is not yet reflected here, please open a GitHub Issue with the specific document and its publication date.
