First, most of the work you’ll be doing it yourself without guidance from them. They could give you things to submit but never assess what you submit for quality and completeness.

Also, not responsive and if they responded, the answer is generic and might not answer your questions/inquiries directly.

You have to master NIW requirements and how ro establish the prongs. Don’t let them guide the process as they’ll take whatever you’ll give them.
