Extraordinary ability green card cases can be approved by USCIS in about 6 months, although they can take longer.
Preparing a winning case involves thorough preparation and documentation. Here are a few examples of our recent successful cases:
- Dr. B is a chemist. He edits a journal, speaks at conferences, has published 20 journal articles and has about 6 patents. He works in an interesting area which is clearly beneficial to the U.S.
- Dr. C is a cancer researcher with about 15 journal articles. Her first case prepared by another attorney was denied. We reworked the case, and with a new patent application, the case was granted.
- Dr. K is a recent Ph.D. graduate. He had a few journal articles and a number of patents pending for a new medical device. He also reviews other articles for four journals. His EB-1 petition was supported by excellent reference letters.
A self-petition per the EB-1 has many advantages: no employer sponsor is needed; there are visa numbers available; no labor shortage to be proven to the Department of Labor. We file many of these applications. Keep in mind, each case is different and must be carefully analyzed.
