In the US, Indians have been waiting for several decades to obtain green cards in the EB2 and EB3 categories. If you are seeking a practical solution to acquiring a green card faster, then EB1A is the right route, as it has the shortest wait time.

Moreover, EB1A is the only first-preference green card category that lets you self-petition and does not require an advanced degree. 

How cool is that?

Despite having what it takes, many people hesitate to apply for an EB1A green card because they are intimidated by the criteria.

At Smart Green Card, we’re here to tell you that it’s possible. Your EB1A green card is within reach.

In the VIP plan, our dedicated team helps you build your professional profile from where it is today to where it should be to qualify for EB1A. We do this through active profile-building support (more on that later)!

Read along to learn more about our VIP plan and self-paced alternatives.

Why VIP?

In the initial stages of the Smart Green Card Program, we had only two self-paced plans: the Ultimate and Ultimate Pro. 

However, after receiving feedback from many of our clients who expressed a desire for a plan offering direct support for their profile-building process, we launched the VIP.

What Does the Smart Green Card VIP Plan Have for You?

In the Smart Green Card VIP plan, we offer hands-on support for the EB1A profile-building process. Whether it’s doing custom research for awards, esteemed memberships, judging opportunities, or resolving inefficiencies, our dedicated team takes care of everything!

Let’s walk you through the EB1A support that the Smart Green Card VIP plan provides in detail:

1. Customized EB1A Action Plan

After onboarding you into the Smart Green Card VIP plan, our team thoroughly evaluates your profile, assists you in identifying your area of expertise, and crafts a customized EB1A action plan for you.

Furthermore, our team assigns you EB1A action items, tracks your progress, and provides additional support through smart tools and a specialized dashboard.

2. Dedicated Client Success Team

In the VIP plan, the Smart Green Card program offers a dedicated client success team that walks hand-in-hand with you until you achieve your I-140 approval.

The team tracks every action item assigned to you, follows up regularly, and solves any issues you might face in your EB1A green card journey through 1:1 calls and WhatsApp chat support. We also review and refine our EB1A strategy as and when new opportunities emerge and we have more robust evidence to support your application.

3. Organic Press Support

Organic press support is one of the star features of the Smart Green Card VIP plan. Smart Green Card has an in-house press support team that pitches clients’ stories to over 1000 renowned journalists, helping them secure organic press coverage in major media outlets.

It is important to note that publishing newswire articles or hiring PR firms doesn’t work for EB1A, as the same content is published in various outlets, which doesn’t establish your extraordinary ability.

4. Publication Support

The Smart Green Card Team provides the right resources and guidance to help you write impactful papers in your field.

We do so by painstakingly researching noteworthy topics in your niche that you can publish in reputed professional and trade journals. And we don’t stop there.

While we can’t ethically write papers for you, our team gives you valuable feedback to improve until they are ready to be published.

5. Referral to Top Attorneys

At Smart Green Card, we have pre-vetted partner attorneys who have a proven track record in filing EB1A cases, especially in the tech and business fields, where most of our clients belong.

Moreover, if you connect with these attorneys through the Smart Green Card program, you can receive special discounts on the lawyer fees.

6. 1:1 Calls With Saiman Shetty

Additionally, in the VIP plan, you will have access to weekly live Q&A calls where you can clarify your queries with Saiman Shetty directly! 

Furthermore, in the Smart Green Card VIP plan, we assist you in meeting at least 6 EB1A criteria and navigating the final merits determination for success.

VIP Success Story

Thanks to all the amazing features offered in the VIP plan, almost all of our VIP members have achieved EB1A approval without RFEs or denials.

The average time taken to achieve the coveted Einstein visa in the VIP plan is eight months. In fact, our fastest approval record as of writing this blog post is four months!

That said, every profile is unique and so is the roadmap to the EB1A green card. Our team extends unwavering support till the approval of your I-140 petition!

In the year 2023, we had approval every month. In 2024, we have had one EB1A approval every week! We have collectively saved over a millennia of excruciating green card wait!

Who is the VIP Plan for?

Once you have  filled out the VIP form on our website, our team will assess your profile to determine if you meet the VIP plan requirements, including:

• Your profile has a good starting point
• You are persistent and determined to achieve your goal, i.e., the EB1A green card

If our team feels that your profile is not there yet, we may recommend the self-paced plans of the Smart Green Card program, i.e., Ultimate and Ultimate Pro. This allows you to build your profile to a certain level, and then reapply for the VIP plan. 

Moreover, if you are a student or recent graduate, you can opt for our self-paced plans and eventually upgrade to the VIP plan.

Smart Green Card Self-Paced Plans 

The distinction among the three plans offered by Smart Green Card lies in the level of support you receive from our founder, Saiman Shetty, and our team.

The Ultimate and Ultimate Pro plans are self-paced wherein you get access to 60+ video lessons, worksheets, templates, community access, and more – but no active profile-building support like the VIP.

In the Ultimate plan, you will also gain access to recordings of weekly live Q&A calls. In contrast, in the Ultimate Pro plan, you can participate in weekly live Q&A calls to address your doubts with Saiman. Additionally, you will have three private profile review sessions with Saiman and the team.

We have had success stories from our self-paced plans. It just took them more time (two years, on average) to get approved compared to VIP plan members.

Smart Green Card Exclusive Community

The good news is that you will gain access to the Smart Green Card community in all three plans, where you can find other SGC members like yourself who are working towards achieving the EB1A dream. This will enable you to connect with them for co-authoring papers, sharing opportunities, and ultimately growing together.

Furthermore, in the Smart Green Card VIP plan, our team will connect you with other SGC members in your domain when you are interested in co-authoring papers.

Decider Plan

If you find yourself in a dilemma, unsure whether you should pursue the EB1A path, how the Smart Green Card program can assist you, or which plans suit you best, then the Decider Plan is tailored for you.

In the Decider plan, we conduct weekly live webinar calls hosted by our founder, Saiman, during which you can ask questions that may be hindering your decision-making process in choosing the EB1A route.

Furthermore, with the Decider plan, you have the option to purchase a 30-minute profile evaluation call as an extension. During this call, Saiman will delve deeply into your profile, pinpointing your strengths, identifying areas for improvement, etc.

If you decide to join our program, Saiman will provide a specific action plan tailored to your case profile and lay out a clear picture of how Smart Green Card will work together with you to achieve the end goal.

Conclusion

We hope that this blog post helps you understand the assistance offered by the Smart Green Card program across its three plans: VIP, Ultimate, and Ultimate Pro.
