FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take? +

Timelines depend on the amount of evidence available and the overall complexity of your case. On average, preparing a complete petition package and filing it takes about one month, assuming timely document collection and feedback. Government processing times are separate and vary by case type and service center.

How much does it cost? +

Most cases are offered as a flat fee based on a defined scope. If a matter becomes unpredictable — for example, an RFE, a request for additional evidence, or unusual complexity — we confirm the next steps and pricing before doing additional work.

What documents are required? +

We start with a short checklist based on your case type, then expand into a tailored evidence plan. The goal is to collect only what moves the case forward and avoid overloading the petition with irrelevant material.

What is your experience? +

We focus on evidence-driven petitions and build cases around a clear legal theory, strong documentation, and structured exhibits. Our approach is designed to reduce uncertainty by anticipating common officer questions and preparing for RFE scenarios upfront.

Notes on strategy

Mukherji v. Miller

A federal district court vacated a USCIS denial where the agency found multiple EB-1A criteria satisfied but denied at the "final merits" step. The court did not just remand for a do-over — it remanded with instructions to approve.

O-1A for e-commerce

High-performing marketplace sellers (Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, Shopify) can be viable O-1A candidates when the story is framed around industry impact, not just revenue.

Final merits determination

Many strong applicants lose EB-1A not because they fail criteria, but because their evidence does not converge into a single theory of sustained acclaim. Build the final-merits thesis first, then select criteria that prove it.
