Key takeaways from these EB-1A cases

• Most approvals came with no RFE. The majority of Manifest Law EB-1A clients received straight approvals, meaning USCIS did not request additional evidence before issuing a decision.
• Approvals span multiple industries. Manifest has represented clients in tech, IT, engineering, research, finance, healthcare, and AI — demonstrating that the EB-1A is not limited to any single profession.
• Approvals span multiple nationalities. Clients include nationals from India, Brazil, Hong Kong, and Russia — countries with varying levels of visa backlog complexity in other Green Card categories.
• Many approvals were processed within 3 weeks. With premium processing, several Manifest clients received approval notices within 15–21 days of USCIS receiving the petition.
• RFE cases can still be won. When USCIS did issue an RFE, Manifest attorneys responded successfully, securing final approvals.

Who qualifies for the EB-1A?

The EB-1A is designed for individuals who are at the top of their field. Common qualifying profiles include:

• Software engineers and tech professionals with patents, open-source contributions, speaking invitations, or a record of judging others’ work
• Researchers and academics with published papers, citations, and peer review experience
• Business and finance professionals with a high salary relative to peers, press coverage, or a critical role at a distinguished organization
• Healthcare professionals with published research, memberships in selective associations, or media recognition
• AI and data science specialists whose work has had a measurable industry impact

You do not need to be famous. You need a documented record that sets you apart from others in your occupation.
