Merit Docket

Tracks US immigration through merit and employment: EB-2 NIW, work visas, naturalization, and how these fit into a single path to status. Looks harder than most at what "national importance" actually means to USCIS, and avoids promises where the decision sits with an officer, not the applicant. Readers get a clear check of what a petition needs to show and the gap between a strong case and a well-formatted one. Covers how to build a business plan for NIW and how to answer an RFE when the service questions a project's significance. Also tracks where AI-generated petition text leads and why a "secret shopper" test keeps finding people sold hope instead of a service. Court news on citizenship and Visa Bulletin updates show up too, always tied back to what they mean for an actual filing.
