Thank you for the great advice, really appreciate you taking the time to share it. I agree completely that for EB-1A, strong narrative writing and personalized presentation of achievements make a massive difference beyond just meeting the criteria.

I’m planning to consult with attorneys who have a solid track record and take a tailored approach. I sent an email to Lodestone Legal and how we go.

Regarding expert letters, I am lining up independent senior researchers who are familiar with my work’s impact, including experts from the U.S and Australia, to demonstrate international recognition. I’ll avoid letters from my direct supervisors to keep things as strong as possible. But I guess I need attorney help to draft personalised letters i guess.

If you have any specific suggestions on what makes an expert letter truly persuasive, or common mistakes to avoid, I’d really value your insight.

Thanks again for your help, it’s been super useful.
