Scott Legal is proud to announce an EB-1A I-140 approval for a biotech entrepreneur who has pioneered innovative technology solutions to transform pharmaceutical R&D processes. The applicant, originally in the U.S. on a TN visa, filed a concurrent green card petition (I-485) with the EB-1A application. After using another law firm for the initial filing, the applicant received a Request for Evidence (RFE), which often signals that USCIS requires stronger documentation to meet the high standard of extraordinary ability.
Our team carefully reviewed the RFE and the original petition, identifying key areas for improvement. We strengthened the application by citing relevant appeals cases, refining the narrative, and enhancing expert opinion letters to clearly demonstrate the client’s significant contributions to the industry. These strategic adjustments turned the RFE into an approval, allowing the client to move forward with the green card process.
EB-1A petitions are among the most scrutinized by USCIS and require attorneys with deep knowledge of the law and persuasive advocacy skills. If you are considering an EB-1A petition or have received an RFE, we can help.
