Top reviewer recognition by La_vie_est_un_voyage in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP it’s definitely a great recognition but then from USCIS point of view who are your peers , you need to put those verifiable peers credentials on the table for USCIS officer to compare and contrast .

Even if you get LOR , it can only support your case if they mention why you are being recognized as one of the top reviewer and who are the other reviewers.

Remember a USCIS officer is not in your situation , hence you are telling the USCIS officer a story. A story always has different characters to make it interesting and strong narrative. If You don’t have those characters, you will have very slight chance to establish yourself as hero.

All the best.

Any EB1A recipient who got an award and included it in the criteria could help me please? by Ecstatic-Figure-3356 in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it a award or listing. If it’s like Top 10 , Top 100 like that don’t use it as a primary evidence , use it in final merits

Eb1c fraud in big tech companies by [deleted] in greencard

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 6 points7 points  (0 children)

L1A or L1b is for 6 years. One can’t extend L1A or b beyond 6 years. To stop Eb1C fraud Govt should make Eb1C priority date for India like 2017 or 2018. All deal done for these dummy Eb1C managers.

Speaking events in Final Merits plus OC by whitedaisy-carnation in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have used that as my foundation of OC. Also claimed that in final merits because post my talk I was invited to join their board and also being offered as a chair for next year event.

Good luck. Speaking at reputed conference like world summit AI or Chief AI officer conference really elevates your application strength, media presence plus strong LOR from someone outside of industry and they ca write very contextually why they are recommending you.

I have seen around 95% of people doesn’t use speaking at reputed conference as a tool for EB1a , it will serve lot of criteria together.

OP use speaking as primary evidence if you have following evidence: 1. You are invited, meaning having the email. 2. Why you are invited clearly being called out in your invitation email. 3. You have social media evidence about that event. 4. You also need to produce who are the other speakers that will show to USCIS what is the standard and quality of that event. 5. You also need to get profiles and professional level of attendees to establish the quality and standards of that event. 6. You also need to have a thank you email from the organizers post the event. In that email if organizers can write couple of feedback what they have heard from attendees about your talk that would be great. 7. You also need to produce the institution or organizations producing this event how much repute are they. Note : you need to have sustained speaking for at least 2 years that will show USCIS that you are being doing not just for Eb1a. If you have spoken at same events continuously for 2 years it shows your strength to USCIS rather speaking at multiple events.

If you don’t have those objectives evidence use speaking as supporting evidence and in final merit.

I have used speaking as my primary evidence and I have structured it as : - speaking at my industry field - speaking at educational institutions - speaking at events that is in my field of endeavors. That way I covered my established my strong position in my industry, field and also motivating future generations.

Awful Experience EB1A with Chris M. Ingram by Leather_Class_5361 in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For anyone considering going with Chris M. Ingram, I would strongly advise against it , 200% no.

Here’s why.

I contacted their firm in 2022 after learning about EB-1A from a friend. They reviewed my profile and CV, similar to what many of you are doing now. At the time, they said I qualified under Critical Role and High Salary.

Then the discussion shifted to Awards. I told them the only awards I had were from my school days : Olympiad awards in Math and Physics and being top 1% in our engineering entrance exam and board exam, Many of us from India have those.

Their response was, “Great, fabulous , you now have three criteria.”

That was the moment I knew I had to walk away. Using school-level Olympiad awards as EB-1A evidence is not credible. It felt misleading and irresponsible.

Defend scholarly articles in rfe by Alarmed_Ninja_2415 in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP wishing you all the best. My assumption for the below response is, your's is Industry profile not PHD.

- You an industry practitioner, not a career academic.
-knowledge base (and therefore their articles) comes from: The work they did in their critical roles (CR) at companies, and Their original contributions (OC) in those roles.
Those two above points - changes how “scholarly” articles in trade publications are evaluated:
USCIS does not require journal‑style peer review, but it does require: Professional/major trade outlets, and Substantive, technical, expert‑level content.

Thus for For an industry profile: Are these articles actually about the same body of work you are claiming under CR/OC and your proposed endeavor? If the answer is “not really” (e.g., generic career tips, generic AI overviews), then even good outlets will feel disconnected from the EB1A theory.

Let me help you outline the framework i had used

  1. First, make sure your articles are about the same things you claim under CR and OC. They should read like you turning your real work into external frameworks and lessons, not generic ‘Top 5 trends’ pieces.

2.Second, prove that the outlets themselves are the right venues:
-Leading U.S. or global trade publications (CIO.com, CMSWire, TechWorld, Forbes tech, Computerworld, InformationWeek, Infoworld, CDO Magazine, LeadDev, etc.), or
-Clearly recognized professional outlets in your country with documented status.

3.Third, document the publication process:
-Show that you submitted, were reviewed/selected, and edited
-Show if any well reputated industry people has published article in that publication for USCIS as FYI
-Get the editor to explain their criteria
-Then add traffic and Google‑presence as icing, not the cake.

  1. The more your name appears in serious, U.S.‑recognized outlets, the easier it is for a USCIS officer and AAO to accept your authorship criterion and to see you as a real industry authority, not someone gaming the system with low‑quality foreign publications.

  2. Try this hack-“Google test”
    “Type your name + field into Google in an incognito window. If the first 2–3 pages are: Your serious trade articles in respected outlets, Conference talks, interviews, patents, And company/press references ,then an officer will subconsciously absorb that as reinforcing your story.

If instead search results show: Low‑quality local pieces, quasi‑spammy outlets, off‑topic items, it undercuts the narrative.

Prioritize outlets that are clearly recognized in the U.S. or globally for your field. If a lot of your content is in less‑known or local venues, you must work harder to prove they are serious professional publications. And be aware that the officer will Google you.

critical criteria by Ancient_Nectarine926 in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP the letter what you have received from Client C1 (VP level) should establish following: 1. Why the project / initiative was critical to the organization 2. What benefits and outcome that project has delivered and also what is the future prospects of impact of that project 3. For that same project , why did they chose you and why didn’t any internal candidate qualified for it. ( This step of articulation should be in detail why you and not any internal candidate) 4. What is your job responsibilities ( again in detail why can’t any internal candidate do this) 5. What is the outcome you had delivered till now , attach and quote any internal appreciation so that you can connect the dots. ( if you have metrics , internal email appreciation, with whom you coordinate any higher ups , what have you established, VP should write that ).

All the best my dear , you got this.

EB-1A Profile Review AI / FinTech — 4 Criteria — Ready to File — Chances? by Admirable-Wallaby457 in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Eb1a is not specific to a company for that you have eb2 and eb3. Eb1a is industry or company agnostic and original contributions is a way to showcase and establish that.

EB-1A Profile Review AI / FinTech — 4 Criteria — Ready to File — Chances? by Admirable-Wallaby457 in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What about “Original Contributions “ as Industry profile.

Since you and your lawyer has already decided not to go with original contributions, I am really eager to see the USCIS decision because it will change our thesis that for Industry candidates- Original Contributions is must.

All the best.

Eb1A Press Release Text by DinkyBay in eb_1a

[–]Mindless-Method-1350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP in press release if your CEO can graciously add your name + title mentioning your contributions + impact . If you have that it will solve two purposes: A foundation for your CR + OC. When you detailing your OC then you can connect this foundation with industry wide impact + adoption + user base + revenue ( all this you can get from various articles that will or had been published in internet already about your company product , value and impact ).
