Senior Risk Leader Wins an EB-1A as Her H-1B Time Runs Out

Carmiann Cespedes helped a Kazakhstani finance professional secure a Green Card through the EB-1A category as her H-1B time was running out. A vice president in risk analytics at a global bank, she built her case on leading development of a near-real-time liquidity assessment tool covering more than a billion dollars in collateral, co-authoring a white paper published by a national banking association, and speaking as a subject-matter expert to hundreds of industry professionals. Her rapid promotions and above-market compensation added further support.
