Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Nobel Prize or an Oscar to qualify?
No. Although a "one-time major achievement" (like a Nobel) is a shortcut, 95% of successful applicants meet at least 3 out of 10 USCIS criteria, be that for judging work, high salary, original contributions, or critical roles.
I’m in my 20s. Can I qualify for EB-1A?
Yes. USCIS seeks “extraordinary ability,” not years’ worth of experience. Your age is no barrier if you’ve established yourself at the top of the field (high compensation, influential publications, leadership in a major startup, etc.).
If I don’t have any awards, can I apply?
Absolutely. Awards are just one of 10 criteria. Lots of professionals get other combinations because they qualify, you know, "Critical Role," "High Salary," and "Judging the work of others."
What are the fields eligible for EB-1A?
The visa includes Sciences, Arts, Education, Business, and Athletics. That entails tech entrepreneurs, AI researchers, corporate executives, professional coaches, and niche digital creators.
Do I need a job offer or a sponsor in the U.S.?
No. A major advantage of EB-1A is that it is a self-petition. No employer needs to sponsor you, allowing you full career flexibility from the time that you gain access to the U.S.
So, how long is it supposed to take?
If you select the Premium Processing option, the initial I-140 petition can be adjudicated in as little as 15 business days. The total timeline for a Green Card will vary based on your country of birth and the current Visa Bulletin, but EB-1 is usually the quickest employment route.
Can my family come with me?
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children (under 21) are eligible for derivative Green Cards. Your spouse will also be authorized to work in any field in the U.S.
What is the “Final Merits Determination”?
Even if you fit three of the above criteria, USCIS does a “Kazarian” assessment to determine if the evidence, cumulatively, indicates that you have sustained national or international acclaim. This is where strategic storytelling and mentoring come into play.
Why does mentoring differ from hiring a lawyer?
The lawyer takes care of the legal filing, but a mentor helps you develop the profile that the lawyer files. We advise you not only on securing judging posts, documenting your "critical impact," and how to report back so you exceed, but also define how you can meet the "extraordinary" standard.
I have a good profile but I’m missing one criterion. Can you help?
Yes. The “Elite” program in our class is aimed to pinpoint that “low-hanging fruit” in your profile. We’ll walk you through the 3 to 6 months it takes to get the evidence you need (such as a judging opportunity or media piece) to make your case “bulletproof.”
What is the most common cause of an EB-1A denial (RFE)?
This is mostly because people find general evidence too generic. For instance, failing to prove that the organization itself is “distinguished” could lead to a “Leading Role” being submitted. We assist you in collecting the precise “supporting evidence” you can apply to prove the prestige of the accomplishments you have made.
