– Flor. T (assumed name), USA
The Immigrant Petition was filed on behalf of a Tennis Coach under the Extraordinary Ability Category. Again, the Office prepared the Petition in a meticulous fashion referencing every major achievement in our Client’s career. We provided sample letters to elicit information from several of the Client’s students and proteges. Because Tennis professionals tend to be extremely busy and rushed for time, the task of helping potential affiants provide helpful letters is always a challenge. We surmounted this problem by, for instance, allowing potential affiants call in and leave long messages, or tape and send us their comments which were then reduced to extraordinarily detailed letters to help our Client’s case. It also helped that the Client worked with a former World #1 player and was part of an academy set up by this Star. However, due to the sensitivity of this Star’s status, care had to be taken with the statement being provided and we had to work closely with the Star’s International Attorney to ensure everyone was happy with the submission being made. Finally, we gathered a record amount of evidence to convince the Service that the Petition was worthy of being approved as filed. The final submission was prepared using the USCIS’s new standard for EB-1 submission.
Extraordinary Ability – Multinational Executive/Manager (EB1C)
Thanks Vaman for all the efforts.
R… and his family got the actual Cards as well!!
– President and CEO, IT Company, CA
Our Client is an Information Technology Services Company with 20+ Employees. They hired a Business Development Manager for their India business three years ago. From the start, Mr. R. Dwibedy (assumed name) was a high achiever and contributed to the growth of the U.S. business by laying the foundation for an outsourcing model. In early 2009, he was transferred to the Sacramento, CA office to manage their growing outsourcing business. In mid 2009, the Client approached us to process an EB-1C petition for the employee. We carefully researched the Client’s business model and found that they had outlined their growth curve and remarkably, it coincided with the hiring and continuous employment of Mr. R.D. We then plotted both to show the Service exactly how this had been achieved and the timeline for such growth. Impeccable documentation, careful research and the ability to translate arcane information into a winning petition is what we bring to all our cases.
Outstanding Researcher – Research Scientist (EB1B)
Thank you very much.
It wouldn’t have been possible without your hard work.
– Prashant M. (assumed name), Research Scientist Large U.S. Chemical Company
When Dr. M approached us with his with his situation, we realized that he did not have any significant publications except, within his own company. He had been out of school only for about two years and most of his research was within the R&D group. And yet, we saw potential in what his R&D group was working with. The key was to leverage his pioneering professional work and satisfy at least two criteria set forth in the regulations for this category. When analyzing the preliminary documentation for this petition, we discovered Dr. M had started working with certain packaging material that could prolong the shelf life of perishable food. We then discovered that his Company was developing this technology to be used in delivering food to hungry citizens in remote corners of the world and areas affected by natural disaster. We were able to successfully show that Dr. M’s pioneering research and contributions, would help alleviate world hunger and bring relief to millions of individuals worldwide. The Petition was filed in December and the Beneficiary received his Welcome Notice in February of the following year – a mere three months from start to finish!
EB-1B Outstanding Researcher – Inertial Navigation Systems (Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering)
The client approached us after being told he only qualified for an EB-2 PERM based Green Card application. His H-1B had been filed as a Mechanical Engineer. He had no patents or significant research publications to show. However, upon reviewing his resume, we found some significant highlights. His employer – a small business in Alabama, was a pioneering research company, providing critical technology to the U.S. Military. This along with the fact that our client had made a significant contribution to recent innovation within the Company made it possible for us to present a compelling case.
The petition was approved in record time.
Extraordinary Ability – Tennis Coach (EB1A)
So, I can open a bottle of Champagne?
Six months from start to finish…not bad!
– JW after receiving the news of his EB-1 Approval
Ranked as a National Coach in his home country, JW came to us with a unique situation. He was starting to coach a young tennis star who was the top-ranked player in the NCAA with an unprecedented 44-1 record. Immediately, we saw what could potentially be an EB-1 filing as an extraordinary tennis coach. We followed the rising young star as he made his way into his country’s national team and the Davis Cup. All along, our Client provided us with timely updates on his coaching and media reports that extolled the strengths of the player. Our immigrant petition was carefully prepared and filed with extensive documentation showing how our client had contributed to the player’s success.
Extraordinary Ability – Director of R&D (EB1A)
Wow…..Wow…….Yeehaaaaa!! I tried not to develop too much hope over the last couple of months but this is simply great, great news….thank you so much!! A BIG, BIG thank you already….THANK YOU!!!
– Jo Weiss, (assumed name) Director R&D MNC
Jo Weiss (L-1) contacted us because his employer – a multibillion dollar MNC was unwilling to sponsor his EB petition. The best option available was the EB1A ‘Extraordinary Ability’ category because it does not require a job offer. With immigration attorney forums choc a bloc with horror stories of a recent wave of denials for this category from the Nebraska and Texas Service Centers, we approached this petition with a sense of trepidation. However, we found Jo Weiss to be a remarkable individual with impressive achievements. Imagine our surprise, however, when our carefully prepared initial submission of over 1000 pages with star studded evidentiary material met with a lengthy RFE. Each one of the achievements was simplistically dismissed as not enough to qualify for this category. We then went about preparing our response methodically and with the determination and skill of a seasoned trial team. Gathering evidence and presenting nuanced arguments, we showed how Jo was the contributing brain behind one of the largest R&D operations in the world. With no help from his employer, we were left using public sources of information and Jo’s limited access to non sensitive corporate documentation to piece together a fine response. Jo’s email above captures his mood when he was emailed the Welcome Notice announcing Permanent Resident status.
Extraordinary Ability – Indian Classical Singer/Educator (EB1A)
Wanted to let you know they received their Welcome Notice Approvals. Also, Ms. Bhatia (assumed name) received her green card. Also, wanted to thank you for all your help. They’re very happy.
– Mr. Iyer (assumed name), Founder & Director, Indian Arts Center
In a landmark case, we were able to convince the Service that an Indian classical singer in the Carnatic genre met the standards for Extraordinary Ability. Having been associated with the Thyagaraja Aradhana festival held in Cleveland for the past several years, our Office routinely processes petitions for extraordinary Indian classical performers. However, satisfying the requirements for Extraordinary Ability was clearly a challenge. We worked very closely with the artist and provided support in every aspect of evidence gathering. Each achievement was highlighted with meticulous detail. We are extremely happy for this outstanding musician.
Extraordinary Ability – Tennis Coach (EB1A)
I just got approved!!! thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu so much! I can never thank you enough. Yes, the I485 was approved August ()! Very nice birthday present for me. – S. Bennacer (assumed name)
We first processed and obtained an O-1 visa for S. Bennacer to set the stage for a filing under the Extraordinary Ability category. While the O-1 does not automatically guarantee EB-1 approval, it definitely helped us accumulate evidence and hone our argument for why she deserved classification as an extraordinary Coach. Most importantly, we were able to provide Coach Bennacer proper guidance when she was approached by a star pupil. This tennis star proved extremely providential because she came along just as we had started the paperwork for the EB filing. She drew a wild card at the Grand Slam events in Roland Garros and Wimbledon and got to the 3rd round at the French Open and the 4th round at Wimbledon. Her ranking climbed to the top #20 and our case was made.
