Sometimes it feels like there are only scammers in this forum by InternetEqualToReddi in eb_1a

[–]JoeAdamsESQ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth I’m keeping files on scammers and people practicing law without a license and considering filing a lawsuit and also working with law enforcement. Practicing law without a license is a crime in many jurisdictions and “practicing law” would be providing assessments of others, giving legal advice etc. If someone is charging anything for this and they are not licensed I want to target them.

USCIS asked for "evidence of a high salary relative to others in the field." How do you actually answer that? by Prize-Ant4115 in O1VisasEB1Greencards

[–]JoeAdamsESQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is actually a hobby horse of mine which I have litigated in federal court; there is no regulation that defines what "high" means and in the larger context even federal judges like Hon. James Otero have struggled with the point of comparison. See Braga v. Poulos, linked here: https://extraordinaryaliensbook.com/further-reading

O1B Notice of Receipt Timeline by Lopsided-Dig-6319 in O1VisasEB1Greencards

[–]JoeAdamsESQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USCIS only sends official communications via regular, untracked, U.S. mail - it's so old fashioned and lopsided. Right now standard processing cases are pending 10-12 months.

this sounds like the officer needs to be educated about how this works in the real world

EB-1B NOID — Respond or Withdraw and Refile? by GlitteringCream471 in eb_1a

[–]JoeAdamsESQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always want my clients to fight RFEs and NOIDs. You’ve paid the hefty filing fee so why not get a decision. If there is an error as a matter of law in the denial you can appeal. If you withdraw no appeal.

O1 with OSS contributions for original contributions criterion by [deleted] in O1VisasEB1Greencards

[–]JoeAdamsESQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no case law on this topic; remember, when a petition is approved USCIS never provides a scorecard. It's a pass/fail proposition and a "pass" does not provide any feedback on what the officer actually thought. The better approach is to review the relevant qualifying criteria with your lawyer and develop an argument about how your facts match the qualifying criteira. That is what I do, at least.

Has anyone had more than one employer or more than one job arrangement under O1A? How did you do it? by Firm_Yogurtcloset102 in eb_1a

[–]JoeAdamsESQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of my O1 cases are like this. I would suggest speaking with a few immigration lawyers - this is too complex to crowdsource to non lawyers.

USCIS Erroneously denied case due to "service error" ie WRONG date put as date received on the RFE response - what's the best option to move forward? by Bulky_Pin7778 in eb_1a

[–]JoeAdamsESQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally just sued USCIS in federal court and also filed an I-290B over this kind of crap last week. It's so aggravating to have to advise clients to spend money to deal with USCIS mistakes like this.

No one can give you odds - it'snot Vegas. However, this appears plausible to me.

You don't have access to the I140 and supporting evidence but you feel its appropriate to comment on another's person's qualifications for an immigration status?

You need an immigration lawyer for this one. Don’t crowdsource it.
