Narayana’s journey with EB1A started when he saw his friend achieve success through this route. He started slow and decided to follow all the steps himself. He faced various challenges and then a couple years later decided to join our program in hopes of having a helping hand in his journey of obtaining a green card.

 

When the Smart Green Card Team evaluated his profile through the VIP form that he submitted, our team found that he had expertise in a specific domain that could be utilized for meeting EB1A eligibility. Consequently, he joined our program to begin his EB1A journey.

 

This case study discusses the EB1A path that Narayana went through to gather all the required evidence needed for satisfying EB1A criteria and the role Smart Green Card played in his success

 

Based on the Smart Green Card team’s tailored guidance, Narayana applied for six EB1A criterias: Scholarly Articles, Original Contribution, Critical Role, Judging, Awards, and Media.

Narayana with the help of our team authored and submitted 23 articles and two books.

After enrolling in the VIP plan, Narayana received tailored support from our team, including a personalized strategy for approaching paper writing and assistance in selecting thought leadership topics in her field. The Smart Green Card team also identified relevant journal opportunities and provided a list of suitable journals for his paper submissions, ensuring a streamlined publication process.

 

During our team’s strategy session call, Narayana had a couple of projects which were high level as well as cost savings for his company at the same time. Narayana’s original contributions were unique and so our team helped leverage his position and contributions to make a compelling case using Letter of Recommendations. So, the Smart Green Card team assisted him in gathering letters of recommendation from the right recommenders within her company and experts in the field to demonstrate her crucial role in creating these intellectual properties and the impact of the patents in her field to meet the original contribution criteria.

Narayana with assistance from our team was able to acquire 10-12 LORs to reflect his groundbreaking work and the impact it had on the industry.

 

To enhance Narayana’s profile further, the Smart Green Card team facilitated various judging opportunities in industrial and startup competitions, book reviews, and peer reviews. He did around 40+ judgments over 10 different journals some of which had exceptional index factors. We helped Narayana by crafting tailored pitches for journal editors and integrating judging activities into his EB1A strategy through our progress management tool. As a result, Narayana engaged in numerous judging activities within his field.

Securing media coverage from major publications involves intricate processes, managed by our specialized press team at Smart Green Card. They developed compelling narratives highlighting Narayana’s achievements including his 6 published articles and pitched them to over 1000 renowned journalists, resulting in multiple organic press coverages. 

Our team ensured that the evidence Narayana gathered for each criterion establishing his extraordinary ability. For example, while collecting evidence to meet judging criteria, a judging request invitation, and a thank-you note indicating completion of the judging activity are fair enough evidence. However, our team goes above and beyond by assisting him in gathering additional evidence to showcase his exceptional abilities.

Moreover, the Smart Green Card team helped Narayana leverage all of his achievements that define his exceptional ability for EB1A. For instance, our team recommended including podcasts and conference invitations as part of the final determination part.

Ultimately, with Narayana’s dedication and our personalized EB1A strategy, he successfully achieved EB1A approval. Over the years, we’ve assisted numerous clients across various fields, including tech and manufacturing, each with their own success stories. You can explore more of these stories in our case studies.
