How each case was won

Case studies walk through the strategy behind an approval: the evidence, the criteria argued, and how RFEs or prior denials were handled. Approval notices summarize each approved case, with the visa type and the client's field.

  • IndiaTechnologyRFELahaina Araneta McBeth - Immigration Lawyer Co-Counsel to Manifest Law

    Lahaina Araneta helped an Indian principal software engineer achieve EB-1A approval after an RFE. Instead of leaning on subjective criteria, the petition was anchored in objective evidence, including top-tier compensation, extensive judging of technical conferences, and a widely used open-source project backed by a patent filing, while the client built a stronger public profile to meet heightened final-merits scrutiny. After a successful RFE response, the EB-1A petition was approved.

    Mary Russell helped an Indian health-technology leader secure an EB-2 NIW approval for his work building open-source infrastructure and clinical safety tooling for behavioral health.

The case was approved after a Request for Evidence (RFE).

  • ChinaTechnologyRFEJiabin Zhang - Immigration Lawyer Co-Counsel to Manifest Law

    Jiabin Zhang helped a Chinese mobile software engineer win O-1 approval after successfully responding to a Request for Evidence (RFE).

  • IndiaTechnologyRFEBruna Maciel Soledade - Immigration Lawyer Co-Counsel to Manifest Law

    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.

    Jason Johnson helped a Canadian software entrepreneur secure an approved EB-2 NIW petition on a refiled case while continuing to run a cross-border business in the U.S. on E-1 treaty trader status. The strategy kept the Green Card petition cleanly separated from the company and tax structure, documenting that the U.S. entity and compensation plan were consistent with E-1 obligations.
