Our EB-1A process

Scheduled within 2-3 business days

To gain a better understanding of your profile, we will schedule a free, 30-minute call. During this call, we will discuss important aspects of your case and address any questions you may have. Please note that if the call is with our in-house immigration attorney, it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

1–3 days to review agreements before signing

If you are a good fit for our green card for top talent solution, you will need to complete our agreement by e-signature and make the initial payment. You will engage the independent attorney of your choice through a separate agreement.

Scheduled within 3-5 business days

The initial phase of your immigration journey begins with a comprehensive onboarding call with our team. During this call, we will provide a detailed walkthrough of the entire process, ensuring you have a clear understanding of each step involved. Our priority is to simplify the process and guide you seamlessly through each phase, ensuring your application is complete and well-prepared.

Scheduled within 5-7 business days

Our team will collaborate with you to choose the attorney who best matches your specific needs and preferences. During the call, you, our client services manager, and the independent attorney will review the strategy to create a winning case.

Ultimately, the decision to work with an independent attorney is yours. The attorney will then send you a separate agreement for their representation. Within 48 hours, the client services manager will send you a welcome kit with customized next steps and a timeline for your case.

4–8 weeks to complete

We offer a comprehensive suite of services to facilitate your application process. We handle document collection and collaborate with PR agencies to vet and source publications for you. Furthermore, we align you with high-achievement associations to bolster your profile.

At the same time, our team will support your chosen immigration attorney, who will meticulously prepare all necessary documents, including Form I-140, your petition letter, letters of recommendation, and any supporting evidence of your extraordinary abilities. Once the documentation is thoroughly organized, your petition will be filed, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.

2–8 months to receive the final decision on the petition

Depending on your case, your petition might be approved in about six months (as of July 2024). If you decide to file for premium processing, which requires a $2,805 fee, it can take as little as two weeks. However, please note that filing for premium processing increases the likelihood of receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE). An RFE should not be confused with a denial or rejection; it simply means additional information is needed, and you will be given a timeframe within which to provide the requested evidence.

0-2 years (depending on the visa bulletin and the country of birth)

The priority date is the day the USCIS receives your I-140 petition. Be sure to check the monthly visa bulletin released by the Department of State to see if your priority date matches the final action date listed in the EB-1 category for your country of birth.

6-12 months

Once your final action date is current, you can either adjust your status if you are in the U.S. under a valid non-immigrant status or go through consular processing. The median wait time for the I-485 is 9 months (July 2024). Consular processing involves making an appointment with a U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country and participating in a one-on-one interview with a consular officer.
