Frequently Asked Questions

Are these real green card approvals?
Yes. Every case reflects a real, approved self-petition. We only anonymize identifying details to protect privacy.
Can I self-petition without a lawyer?

You can. EB-1A, O-1A, and EB-2 NIW all allow self-petitioning. That said, the strength of your evidence and strategy makes the biggest difference.

 

What is the difference between O-1A requirements and O-1A criteria?

Requirements are the four basic conditions to qualify (extraordinary ability, recognition, a U.S. petitioner, and relevant work). Criteria are the eight evidence categories used to prove your extraordinary ability. You must meet at least three criteria.

Which category is right for me?

It depends on your field, achievements, and goals. As a starting point, EB-1A and O-1A reward top-tier acclaim, while NIW rewards work of national importance.

 

How long do these cases take to prepare?

Timelines vary by profile. In general, building strong evidence takes a few months, as you will see in the 12-month case below.
