Case Summary.

Patrick Duckett helped an Indian corporate-sustainability leader secure EB-1A approval — upgrading from an already-approved EB-2 to accelerate her Green Card timeline. Despite a mid-case RFE, the petition prevailed on the strength of extensive media coverage, a critical sustainability-leadership role at a large multinational company, and membership in a highly selective, invitation-only professional network for senior sustainability executives.
