If you would like a free initial assessment of your chances of success in the EB-1 extraordinary ability, EB-1 outstanding professor researcher or national interest waiver employment-based green card categories, or in the O-1 extraordinary ability category, please contact us (your information will remain confidential).  We will respond with further email contact information. In the mean time, review the information below; the more clear the initial information you can provide about yourself and your work, the better our assessment of your options will be. In addition, please review our consultation policy.

What to prepare for your free initial assessment:

• Your CV;
• A list of your publications, if applicable (see below for performing artists, visual artists and other fields to which publications rarely apply);
• Please note if you have ever held J-1 status, and if so, if you are subject to the § 212(e) 2 year home residency requirement (HRR), and if you know, why you are subject to the HRR (e.g., your field appears on the Skills List; you received direct or indirect funding from the US government, your home country government, another country or an international organization; you are a physician; etc.).
• If applicable, please include a list of citations of your publications from a citation index; include citations for each of your articles, indicating which of these are self citations, group citations, or “independent” citations.
• If applicable, please provide information on the journals or other media in which you have published, such as the impact factor of that journal.
• If you believe you have made contributions that are considered to be “breakthrough” or “of major significance,” please specify what those contributions are in plain language that an average person can understand, and their significance.
• Please specify any particular impact or practical application of your contributions, as this is of great importance to USCIS. Again, it is important to explain these using plain language that someone who is not an expert in your field can understand.
• Note names and affiliations of individuals who might be willing to provide testimony on your behalf confirming your work and briefly explaining its impact or significance on your field.
• If you have received awards for your work, please include information on the significance of the award you have received and on the criteria used to determine who is the winner of that award; remember that student awards will count for very little to USCIS, even if prestigious (though prestigious awards may have some influence).
• Please note any media or press about you or your work that has appeared in major media or scientific or professional journals.
• Please note any service as a judge of others, either individually or on a panel; this might include serving as a reviewer on journals (will be given less credit if you were not chosen specifically to be a reviewer based on your expertise—i.e., if the request for review was passed down from a supervisor or other person); serving on a Board of Advisors or Board of Directors; service as an advisor and/or reviewer of PhD candidates/dissertations, etc.
• Please include any other information you deem relevant to your petition.

If your field is performing arts, please provide information on critical reviews, a listing of sound recordings or comparable evidence, along with list of significant venues in which you have performed.

If your field is visual arts, please include information on exhibits of your work, noting the significance of a particular exhibit or exhibition venue and dates; also, please include a link to your portfolio, and indicate whether your work has been published without credit to your name if you can demonstrate that this is your work (such as in advertisements, magazines, online media, testimony, etc.). Please explain the significance of your exhibits and include references to or copies of reviews, articles or other media referencing your work. Note that it is important to record the dates of any reviews, articles, and if at all possible, to keep a good digital or physical copy of each of these things (color works best). If your work appears in advertisements, it is best to retain digital or physical copies of these, and not to cut off the dates or the names of the media in which such advertisements appear when you makes copies of these items.

We will accept an extraordinary ability EB1, outstanding professor researcher EB1, national interest waiver or O-1 visa case only if we feel it has a high chance of success. We will determine this after examining a prospective client’s credentials and subjecting them to an analysis of the regulations and the latest trends in adjudication of the most appropriate case type.
