Case Summary.

Bruna Soledade helped an Indian technology researcher secure an employer-independent path to a Green Card with an EB-1A self-petition, overcoming a Request for Evidence along the way. Already holding an employer-sponsored EB-1B approval, the researcher wanted a petition that would not hinge on a single job amid layoff concerns. The case was built on a federally funded research grant, extensive peer review of others' work, a patent as primary inventor, and more than ten widely cited scholarly articles.
