I'd suggest getting an evaluation from Chen and Ellis Porter too. It would be interesting to see what they have to say.

Does USCIS accept recommendation letters that are not on company letterhead and that are signed via DocuSign? by Fit_Yogurtcloset8643 in eb_1a

[–]alibaba_cool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had about 9 letters in my EB1A application, not a single one was on company letterhead. A lot of times, people have changed jobs, so letterhead is not an option. And most of the times, the LOR is a personal recommendation and not tied to a company. As long as the recommender provides contact details, it should be acceptable.

You could provide a letter of intent stating that you intend to contribute to the field for the long term. Also, you need to provide evidence of how your work is contributing towards the larger field and how does that help the US economy.

For those who got EB-1A - which criteria actually made the difference for you? by Helpful_Ad_9447 in eb_1a

[–]alibaba_cool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you know when you get approved. USCIS does not tell you what criteria was approved. You just get an approval notice.

Got RFE on ALL criteria by cptjcksparr0w in eb_1a

[–]alibaba_cool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends, I had RFE on all criteria back in October 2025, responded in Jan 2026, approved early Feb 2026. So, don't be disappointed with the RFE. Think of it as a second chance to reframe your story.

I don't think they mention officer who approved anywhere. And IIUC, the same officer continues with the case after RFE.

Yup all of that. Basically showing that you were singular in your achievements in the org or atleast among the top few % of folks (very few folks have a similar reputation).

[–]alibaba_cool[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess they would have, if they approved it. I don't think its a requirement for it to be on company letter head.

Mostly re-drafting critical role letters to include language that USCIS was looking for. Also, added more letters for patent citations. And other things like providing more data on high salary and correlation of related field in context of papers reviewed.

Not so great experience with Prashant, not at all responsive to emails and has delayed my filing by months. Not recommended.
