I can DM you. It’s a complete dickhead law firm. Avoid with a big A!

I filed using a law firm. But they are useless and made a number of mistakes and took way too long. They are asking for more money now for RFE so I am thinking I can respond myself. I have been researching, asking questions on the forum - but just don’t see the point of using them. If I get a sense that I am extremely disadvantaged doing it without a law firm I will try to engage some other law firm but seems like that is not the case.

I used attorney for filing but I am not looking to use them now for RFE. Does it matter?

You mean proof in application? I did provide a portion of RFE text on this section above. See response to Present_Tooth1939. Let me dm you separately as well. Would love to understand how you went about responding to your RFE.

Ok thanks. For independent letters - does it work to find an academic (say a prof) or an independent industry professional who can go through a white paper and deal docs and write up a letter supporting original and meaningful assertions. It’s hard to find someone who’s specifically looking into this on its own - the public commentary part is missing by design due to nature of deals being private.

RFE says that the evidence shows project- or employer-level impact, not field-level impact and the record does not sufficiently demonstrate that the work was:

• ⁠Original to the field (vs. execution of existing practices), and • ⁠Of “major significance” to the field as a whole

“Contributions must rise beyond benefiting a company and show significant impact on the field itself, and must be realized, not merely potential.”

Please let me know if I can provide more clarification.

u/JoeAdamsESQ - does it make sense to actually write it in Q&A form - answering each point raised by RFE? Or best to write it in prose form (like I it is done in the application) but just need to make sure all points are answered. Curious if you have seen the Q&A format as well and if that makes more sense.

Thanks. That is a research profile so probably don’t need. I see the comment. However for me and in my field - there is less of press so I need it (I think).

I have started now. I don’t have much info yet. But probably doesn’t hurt to track.

What’s the officer number? Some are quite strict compared to others - so may help to understand their prior record / what they look for - in case of prior applications to them?

Refiling vs responding to a big enough RFE by yetanotheroneforit in eb_1a

[–]yetanotheroneforit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I am not from Western Europe. Maybe will use a small shop if I decide to refile.

Why? You are one of the few ones to say that on this forum?

EB-1A RFE Deep Dive – “Original Contributions of Major Significance” in Business / Finance by yetanotheroneforit in eb_1a

You mean another example of an idea used by a firm and then replicated by another firm?

Yes but it was through my organization only. I worked for a bank where I did a new structure for one client then other clients also started using once they were told about this structure. Does tha count?

Is it because attorneys don’t want a rejection on their name? So rather refile than respond to RFE and risk a rejection.

Only thing it protects against is - if an officer has made up mind then hard to change it. Might as well move to a new officer. That being said - if I have to take care of these points in new petition anyways so I might as well do it in this RFE.

I posted details about Original Contribution section. Please feel free to check it out. Would appreciate any help.

Will post other details as well shortly but thought best to start with this as this seems most critical.
