In a recent analysis, immigration attorney Ingrid Perez highlighted the unpredictable nature of EB-1A visa adjudications through two contrasting case outcomes. Both cases featured similar professional profiles, yet one was approved in just 10 days while the other received a Request for Evidence (RFE) despite substantial evidence of qualifications.
Key Details:
- Case 1: Nearly 2,000 citations, critical role at a major tech company, and a high salary resulted in an RFE.
- Case 2: Met only three criteria but was approved with a strong salary and critical role, demonstrating officer discretion.
- The first case faced scrutiny over citation significance and salary, while the second was reviewed favorably by what appeared to be a more experienced officer.
- These outcomes illustrate that no two EB-1A cases are alike, and careful, tailored preparation is essential.
The findings underscore the importance of understanding that immigration processes are not automatic, even for highly accomplished professionals. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
