- Professional memberships

A successful
EB-1A petition presents a compelling, well-documented narrative that highlights the significance and impact of the applicant's work.
If you believe your contributions stand out at the highest level, the EB-1A may be the right path for you. Reach out to Pollak Immigration today.
You should also note that a federal court in Nebraska just struck down USCIS's two-step "final merits determination" process for extraordinary ability (EB-1A) immigration cases that went into practice by the Service in 2010. This decision could reshape how extraordinary ability cases are evaluated and may provide grounds for challenging denials based on the second-step analysis.
