USCIS<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, USCIS has evaluated EB-1A cases in two steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Counting the criteria.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The officer checks whether the applicant meets at least three of the ten regulatory criteria, under the preponderance of the evidence standard (more likely than not).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Final merits determination.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If three criteria are met, the officer weighs all the evidence together. Does it show that the applicant has extraordinary ability, has sustained national or international acclaim, and is among the small percentage at the very top of the field?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An applicant can meet three criteria (for example, publications, judging, and membership in an association) and still be denied at the second step if the officer concludes that these achievements are typical for an experienced professional rather than a sign of extraordinary ability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more independent dimensions of professional achievement you can show, the more convincing the picture of an industry leader will be at the final merits stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>EB-2 NIW and the Matter of Dhanasar requirements<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EB-2 NIW requires an advanced degree (a master\u2019s or higher). A bachelor\u2019s degree plus five years of progressive experience in the field after earning the degree also qualifies, as does exceptional ability. Progressive experience means that the complexity of your work and your independence grew over time. You do not need to have moved into management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The petition must satisfy the three prongs of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matter of Dhanasar<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Substantial merit and national importance.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A plan to \u201cteach at a specific school\u201d and references to teacher shortages are not enough. Local teaching is valuable, but it is not national in scope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need a project that can be replicated. Examples include a model for training subject-matter teachers for districts with documented staffing shortages, an adaptive method for children with reading difficulties, or a system for integrating bilingual children with ready-to-use materials for other teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is shown through your track record: methodologies you created and implemented, measurable results, publications in your field, and interest from potential users of your work, such as schools and universities.

The factors include how impractical it would be to obtain a labor certification for your work, whether the United States would benefit from your work even if other qualified US workers are available, and whether the national interest in your contribution is urgent. Urgency is one factor, not a requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To support national importance, a petition can be strengthened with letters of interest from school districts, universities, and educational organizations that are prepared to use the applicant\u2019s work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How we work on your case<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We start with your background, professional record, and an analysis of all your documented achievements, and then choose a strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have publications, recognized awards, and documented adoption of your work, your profile may be a fit for EB-1A. If your strongest asset is the applied program itself, the focus can shift to EB-2 NIW: showing that the methodology is scalable and benefits US education as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letters from independent experts can help: people who have not worked with you, but who use your work and can describe specifically what it has achieved. Letters from colleagues can be added, but they will not form the core of the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s most often missing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the weak spots we usually have to address before filing:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reliance on years of service.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Twenty years of experience and internal commendations show diligent work, but they prove neither extraordinary ability nor national importance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No numbers on adoption.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A methodology without data on how many organizations have used it and with what results can look like a personal initiative with no demonstrated value to the field.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Generalities instead of a plan.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The statement \u201ceducation matters to the country\u201d is no substitute for a description of your contribution and how it will scale.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Bottom line<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An immigration officer evaluates not how conscientious a teacher is on the job, but the scale of their professional impact.
