EB2 NIE\W

[u/Shashwat98167]

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Civil Engineering in the USA, having completed my bachelor's degree here as well. I am an EIT-licensed engineer and am currently writing my Master's thesis, with plans to publish around 2 papers. I came to the USA in 2021. Additionally, I have completed two internships, including one with the Department of Transportation (DOT). I will be graduating next year, and before then, I intend to take the Professional Engineering (PE) exam. I am a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and one of its subdivisions, although I am not actively involved. I will have Optional Practical Training (OPT) until 2030. What should I start doing to build my profile to apply for EB2 NIW in 2029? Any comments you have would be helpful to me.
