  • 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.

Already holding an employer-sponsored EB-1B approval, the researcher wanted a petition that would not hinge on a single job amid layoff concerns.
