Here is a brief break down of each section.
INTRO
The Strategy – Planning your application.
This first section has everything you need to know about how the EB1-EA works, what all is involved, and when each step takes place. We give you a strong overview of the whole process so that you are ready to begin your application with a clear view of the finish line.
- The EB1-EA – What is it exactly? Who is it for?
- Do I qualify? – How to assess your chances.
- To Self-File, Or Not To Self-File – Applying with or without an attorney.
- Timeline – How long is the process? What to file when.
- Precautions – Some things to avoid.
STEP ONE
Your application requires that you back up your petition letter with evidence. We explain each of the ten criteria and how they relate to you as an businessperson/entrepreneur, as well as explain the interpretations that USCIS examiners might not accept.
With examples in every section of strong and compelling evidence we show how you can further prove your intent to continue working in your field as well as proving your benefit to the USA.
- Strong Evidence – What makes compelling proof?
- Weak Evidence – How to anger your examiner!
- How Much? – Compelling without overloading?
- Presentation – Highlighting, Numbering & Binding.
Exploratory investigations into the USCIS Criteria and how they pertain to the arts:
- Lesser Awards – You got the award, where’s the proof?
- Memberships in Associations – Qualifying the association
- Published Material – The publication, the article, and you
- Judge of Others – Your extraordinary opinion
- Original Contributions – What is original and what is significant?
- Scholarly Articles – When is an article scholarly?
- Artistic Exhibitions – Proving artistic relevance to your business
- Leading or Critical Roles – The significance of your role
- High Salary – Cha-ching!! How high can you count?
- Commercial Success – Receipts and sales
We believe that a well worded Recommendation Letter can win your case. We show you how to strengthen them with examples and how to tailor these letters to each category. Deal Memos and Letters of Intent prove you will continue to work – we show you how.
This section STEP ONE also relates to those applicants faced with an RFE. When you are asked by your attorney to “get more stuff” this is the section that you need.
Our STEP ONE gives you the right start to build a strong EB-1 Extraordinary Ability Business case.
STEP TWO
The Petition Letter – Tying it all together
In STEP TWO we show you how to compile your cover letter – if you are using an attorney, this is what you are paying them to do for you. We deconstruct the formatting and wording of the letter to best present your case. The letter is a formula and we decode it all out for you. You might have heard of the Kazarian v. USCIS, 580 F.3d 1030, 1036 (9th Cir. 2009) Case? No? Don’t worry we have, and we explain the findings to help you utilize them to build the compelling case that the examiner needs. We have TWO petition letters for you to use as a basis for yours. It’s a simple as “filling in the blanks.”
- Making life easy for your examiner.
- Opening Statements – How to lead in, catch their attention, and suppress their doubts.
- One criterion at a time – How to present your case and weave it together. Choosing the phraseology that will connect you with your examiner. Sample letter segment for each criteria referencing the evidence samples from STEP ONE.
- Getting the most out of those recommendation letters.
- Comparative Evidence – Petitioning with evidence that does not fall under the 10 criteria.
- Closing Statements – How to wrap up, summarize, and seal the deal.
- 2 Sample Petition Letters
STEP THREE
Ready to File – Qualifying as Extraordinary
When you are READY TO FILE you move on to our STEP THREE – The Form Filing section.
All the forms you are required to file as part of your application to QUALIFY as an Extraordinary Businessperson are broken down in this section. This step of being approved as a Businessperson of Extraordinary Ability is what makes you eligible to apply for the actual green card – once eligible, getting the green card is another application – explained in STEP FOUR.
The forms necessary for this section of the application:
- I-140 – Qualifying as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability
- G-1145 – SMS and Email notification form
- I-907 – Request for Premium Processing
In this section we also explain CONCURRENT FILING and how this might be a good option for you.
