EB1 immigration attorneys are highly knowledgeable about the intricacies of employment-based immigration. They can help clients to determine whether they meet the criteria for the EB1A visa, and help them to craft a strong petition. They can also assist with drafting the required support letters and affidavits, and help clients to gather and submit the required documentation. An attorney can also serve as quality control, ensuring that all documents are submitted in accordance with USCIS standards.
In addition, an eb1 immigration attorney can help to ensure that the application is filed on time, and within any other deadlines. USCIS officers reviewing EB1 applications have a limited amount of time to review the application. Therefore, it is important that the application be presented in a clear and concise manner, with an emphasis on the most relevant evidence for the case.
An experienced EB1 immigration attorney will be able to identify and highlight the most important evidence, and will ensure that all evidence is submitted in accordance with USCIS standards. This will increase the chances of a successful petition, and will reduce the risk of a denial.
In the event that a petition is denied, an eb1 immigration attorney can assist with a motion to reopen or a motion to reconsider. They can review the evaluating officer’s decision, and determine whether any new or additional evidence should be submitted in order to strengthen the case. This can significantly increase the chances of a successful EB1A petition and permanent residence (green card) approval.
Attorneys can also assist if a case receives an RFE or a denial from the evaluating officer. They can analyze the reason for the RFE or denial, and prepare a response that addresses each issue. This can substantially increase the chance of a successful EB1A petition, and a green card approval upon resubmission.
KILP has a highly specialized team of EB-1 immigration attorneys that are specifically trained in the time-consuming and work-intensive process of filing petitions for individuals of extraordinary ability. The firm has successfully helped numerous professionals to secure this visa.
The EB1A visa is available to aliens who have extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, athletics, or the arts. In order to qualify, an individual must have risen to the very top of their field, and possess a level of expertise that is distinctly superior to that of others in their area of specialization. In most cases, individuals seeking EB1A classification will seek to establish exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or education.
However, there are some cases in which an individual seeking EB1A classification may wish to demonstrate extraordinary ability in the practice of law. Although DHS has not issued binding policy guidance on this issue since a 1995 General Counsel opinion, the AAO’s non-precedent decisions provide some insight into how the agency will view such a request.
