Two steps decide every EB-1A petition

Check the 10 criteria →

Step 1 · Criteria count

Meet at least 3 of 10

Document at least three regulatory criteria with qualifying evidence, or a one-time achievement such as a major internationally recognized award.

Step 2 · Final merits

Show sustained acclaim

USCIS then weighs the evidence as a whole to decide whether you are among the small percentage at the very top of your field. This is where a clear narrative wins cases.

Questions

Common questions

See all questions →

No. Aegis Consulting provides advisory and evidence-preparation services. We do not give legal advice, represent clients before USCIS, or file petitions. Your licensed immigration attorney handles all legal work and the filing itself.

No. EB-1A allows self-petitioning, so no employer sponsor or labor certification is required. Your attorney will confirm the right category for your situation.

No one can. USCIS decides each petition on its own evidence. Our job is to make your evidence as complete and clearly argued as it can be.
