Three categories. One standard of care.
Our entire practice is built around the most demanding classifications in U.S. immigration law. We do not dilute that focus.
While our focus is the extraordinary-ability classifications below, the principal has more than a decade of experience across the full spectrum of U.S. immigration matters - family, employment, humanitarian, and removal defense - and is available to advise on related cases as the situation requires.
Extraordinary Ability & Outstanding Researchers
The most selective employment-based green card category. EB-1 demands proof of sustained national or international acclaim - and the ability to translate technical achievement into legally cognizable evidence.
EB-1A - Self-petitioned
For individuals at the very top of their field across the sciences, arts, education, business, and athletics. No employer or labor certification required.
EB-1B - Outstanding Researcher
For researchers and professors with international recognition in an academic field, sponsored by a qualifying employer.
How we work
We map your record to USCIS's evidentiary criteria, commission expert opinion letters that withstand scrutiny, and draft petitions that read as carefully composed arguments - not exhibit dumps.
Extraordinary Achievement Non-Immigrant Visa
The O-1 grants U.S. work status to individuals with extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, athletics (O-1A) or in the arts, motion picture and television (O-1B). It is often the strategic bridge to an EB-1 green card.
O-1A
Researchers, founders, executives, and technologists whose record reflects extraordinary ability. Common path for AI scientists, biotech leads, and startup founders.
O-1B
Designers, performers, directors, choreographers, photographers, and other artists with distinction in their field.
Strategy & itinerary
We coordinate agent or employer sponsorship, draft advisory opinions, and structure multi-engagement itineraries - including renewals and concurrent O-1s.
National Interest Waiver
The NIW allows qualifying professionals to self-petition for a green card by demonstrating that their proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance to the United States - bypassing the standard PERM labor certification process.
Matter of Dhanasar
We build each petition around the three-prong Dhanasar framework, with particular attention to how your endeavor advances U.S. competitiveness, public health, security, or scientific leadership.
Who we represent
Researchers, founders, clinicians, climate-tech leaders, AI/ML practitioners, and entrepreneurs whose work has national-scale implications.
Evidence development
We help you commission policy-grade endeavor statements, third-party economic and impact analyses, and well-credentialed recommendation letters.
Beyond the core practice.
While EB-1, O-1, and NIW remain our principal focus, the firm regularly advises on a broader range of non-immigrant, immigrant, and family-based matters - frequently as companion filings to a primary extraordinary-ability strategy.
