You're a Leader in Your Field. But Can You Prove It to USCIS?

Whether you are a scientist, artist, business executive, or educator, demonstrating your extraordinary ability to USCIS can be a complex challenge. The criteria for "extraordinary ability" require more than just a list of accomplishments; they demand a clear, evidence-based presentation of your impact in your field.

Many high-achieving professionals encounter similar hurdles:

Proving Original Contributions: How can you effectively demonstrate that your work has made a significant impact beyond your immediate role or organization?

Establishing a Leading Role: What evidence can you provide to showcase your prominence in a competitive environment filled with other accomplished individuals?

Meeting the High Standard of Proof: How do you construct a compelling case that leaves no room for doubt in the minds of adjudicators?


Over 95% of our cases get approved. Here are some recent successes:

  • This case centered on a management consultant whose career demonstrates exceptional ability in business strategy and energy sector transformation. The beneficiary's professional evolution from technical innovation to strategic leadership exemplifies sustained excellence across multiple domains. His current role involves directing high-impact client engagements, leading practice area initiatives, and serving on key leadership committees.

    We crafted a comprehensive EB-1A petition that successfully demonstrated extraordinary ability under six separate regulatory criteria—showcasing the exceptional breadth of the beneficiary's professional achievements and recognition. This approach provided robust evidence of sustained national and international acclaim in business strategy and consulting.

    The case offers exceptional timing advantages: the 2016 priority date allows the client to proceed immediately with filing of adjustment of status upon approval of the EB-1A. This strategic positioning provides the fastest possible pathway to permanent residency available in the employment-based system.

  • This case involved a management consultant with energy strategy expertise and extraordinary achievements spanning patent innovation, thought leadership, and high-impact client engagements. The beneficiary has led transformative projects for multinational energy companies, authored influential industry publications, and served as a speaker at premier global conferences.

    We successfully demonstrated the beneficiary's extraordinary ability across three distinct criteria, building a compelling case that showcased her sustained national and international acclaim in energy strategy. Our strategic approach emphasized her unique combination of technical innovation, business leadership, and industry influence.

    With the EB-1A approval secured and a 2018 priority date, the beneficiary could proceed directly to adjustment of status—bypassing lengthy EB-2 visa backlog.

  • This case involved a financial analyst with extraordinary ability in mortgage market modeling and structured finance. The beneficiary's career demonstrates expertise in developing sophisticated and influential financial models. The case was approved by the Texas Service Center quickly and without an RFE.

    We successfully established the beneficiary's extraordinary ability under five separate regulatory criteria, demonstrating his sustained national recognition and significant contributions to financial analysis and mortgage market modeling. Our strategic approach highlighted his unique combination of technical innovation and real-world impact.

    With the EB-1A approval secured, the beneficiary can immediately proceed with adjustment of status, trading a lengthy EB-2 visa backlog for an immediate pathway to permanent residency.
