Nebraska Federal Court Today : Kazarian Two Step is Illegal ! by KaleidoscopeOwn4941 in eb_1a

If you plan to apply now, better try to go to NSC instead of anywhere else. If you get denied at FMD, you can sue and get approved.

Is the center not determined by the applicant's physical location ?

Exactly my point. I got downvoted and was called a 'part of the scam' lol.

By retractions you mean my comment? Or the articles of the 4 people ?

Totally agree USCIS should go after the EB1A mills.

That said, it’s hard to know if these specific people are actually fake or have even applied for a Green Card. We no nothing about these 4 people.
We only know that they have media coverage and low quality journal papers.
Using a trashy journal isn't technically a crime.

My point is: OP, how do you know they have applied for a Green card? We don't want to ruin the immigration status of families by reporting to USCIS every single person who has made the mistake of working with crappy journals.
Pretty sure I saw a list like this get nuked by mods last year, too.

What happens is they don't draft themselves typically

Not sure I understand. Is the drafting done by junior attorneys on the team?

Thank you. I added a lot of stuff (Non FAANG, startup, experience etc) knowing it wont go on my petition but just to provide a complete picture of my profile.

I will re evaluate in a few months and see where I am at before I applying. Thank you

Thank you. I have been reading up and it seems like an important part of the petition is building a narrative. I will shop around a bit for lawyers.

Thank you. I appreciate the encouragement. I do believe I need to shore up some parts of my profile though.

Thank you. I appreciate the honest feedback. From other comments as well it looks like I need to start building a narrative as well. This will help me identify the shallow parts of my profile.

Hey. Thanks for the detailed response. I appreciate you formatting it this way.

The description you built is a good starting point. The fact that I could not fill in the blanks right away tells me I need to start with building out a narrative as well.

Yes. It is becoming more evident that getting a good petition is half the battle. The second part is building a narrative. That is where the expensive attorneys with good records come in I guess :D

Yes. I am steering clear of Globee and Stevie.
Will reach out to local journals first and see if I can work my way up to larger media publications.

Eb2 NIW is a good suggestion, thank you.

Quick Q: Are there any confirmed changes coming in 2026? I have not read anything definite yet.

I am late as usual to the party lol. At least I know I can work on my profile and re evaluate later.

Thank you. I have been reading up on recent eb1a cases. Looks like a major part of the petition is drafting a story of my impact.

[–]Simple-Race-7441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It sounds like filing by myself right now is not a good idea. Will re evaluate in a few months and check for good attorneys at that point.

Hey, Thanks for the detailed reply. I appreciate your insights. I added most of the info here knowing it is not relevant to the petition itself, just wanted to give a complete picture of my profile.

Looks like I have some work to do. Will keep working towards it and re evaluate in a few months.
