Dear Sophie:
I work at a startup and my company is sponsoring me for an EB-2 NIW green card because they didn''t want to deal with
I have some unique skills and am helping create a new technology that will support Americans and create jobs
We just got hit with a massive Request for Evidence
I&m supposed to marry my American fiancé next month, but I really wanted to immigrate based on my own accomplishments
What should I do?

Dear Marrying,
I get it
We can strive so hard to achieve everything based on our merit and accomplishments, but for tech professionals who are used to success, it
can be frustrating when we&re forced to depend on our employer or our beloved for our future
The startup ecosystem rewards fierce independence, and it can feel uncomfortable to ask others for support.
