Conquering EB1A in Insurance and Finance: Vishal's Journey of Overcoming RFEs with Smart Green Card Support
Sasi holds the position of Senior Compliance Manager at a leading organization in the Scientific and Laboratory Supply Industry. His role involves ensuring compliance with the company’s operational and regulatory standards in the drug manufacturing process.
Having an approved I-140 for the EB2 category, Sasi hoped to switch to EB1A due to significant backlogs in EB2, which better aligns with his needs and expertise.
Despite his expertise, Sasi was uncertain about how to leverage it for EB1A. Consequently, he joined the Smart Green Card VIP plan to navigate his EB1A journey.
This case study sheds light on the EB1A process and the crucial role played by Smart Green Cards in realizing Sasi’s American Dream. Let’s delve into his story.
Smart Green Card’s Customized Approaches to EB1A Criteria:
With Smart Green Card’s guidance, Sasi targeted Six Criteria: Scholarly articles, Media, Judging, Press, Original Contribution, and Awards.
Scholarly Articles:
Sasi had a draft of a research paper before he joined the Smart Green Card Program, but he lacked the confidence to publish papers.
After joining the Smart Green Card Program, our team provided resources defining the elements of the research paper, the publication process, and strategies for choosing thought leadership topics in his field. This approach unblocked his challenges and opened up an approach to writing papers that centered around the specific problems he addressed in his workplace. Finally, he authored several impactful papers in his field and received citations as well.
Original Contribution:
Initially, Sasi was unsure about the requirements of the original contribution criteria and the type of evidence he could submit to meet this criterion.
During a strategy call with Sasi, the Smart Green Card Team discovered that the app he published had a significant impact on his field. Subsequently, our team assisted him in gathering compelling evidence to showcase this achievement to meet the original contribution criteria.
Critical Role:
Sasi had ample documentation aligned with the requirements of the Critical Role criteria. However, he lacked knowledge on how to effectively present it for EB1A.
Therefore, our team carefully analyzed the materials with him and assisted him in submitting the appropriate evidence showcasing his performance in a critical role within the organization.
Media:
Sasi had achieved significant accomplishments in his field, so the Smart Green Card’s in-house press team crafted his story with subtle nuances and relentlessly pitched it to journalists in major media outlets. This effort helped him secure multiple press pieces from major outlets in an organic manner.
Referral to Top Attorneys:
Our team connected Sasi with top US-based attorneys who specialize in handling EB1A cases in his field for legal representation.
In the Smart Green Card program, our team has meticulously screened US-based attorneys, focusing on their track record of success in EB1A cases within the technology and business domains, ensuring alignment with our client’s backgrounds.
Our team links our VIP clients to these pre-vetted attorneys if they request. Additionally, they can also avail discounts on lawyer fees when they are connected with the attorneys through the Smart Green Card program.
What is the One Thing that You Loved About the Smart Green Card Program?
During the success spotlight session of the Smart Green Card program, our team commonly posed this question to the EB1A-approved member.
Sasi answered: “In my work, I need to travel a lot, and I faced uncertainties while gathering evidence. I would say, the Smart Green Card Team is impressive; they respond to me within 24 hours, which keeps me moving forward. Big thanks to the team.”
EB1A Petition Approved:
Smart Green Card’s tailored strategies, coupled with Sasi’s efforts, resulted in his EB1A approval. The Smart Green Card team ensured that each piece of evidence he gathered established his extraordinary ability to navigate the final merits determination part. This approach enabled him to achieve EB1A success without encountering a Request for Evidence (RFE).
“Before joining the Smart Green Card program, I was unclear about the intricate details of EB1A. The Smart Green Card provided me with a clear roadmap that significantly aided me in achieving EB1A.” – Sasi
Over the past years, we have assisted several regulatory compliance managers, including Sasi, along with many others, in various diverse areas of work. You can find more such success stories in our case studies.
Throughout the VIP Smart Green Card program, one aspect that stood out to me was the personalized approach taken, the program team understood my unique qualifications and tailored strategies to highlight my strengths, mitigate weaknesses in my application, and instill logical confidence in the preparation strategy which is important for any EB1A aspirant. I believe this is a key element in my successful EB1A journey. I am immensely grateful to the entire Smart Green Card Program team for their expertise, dedication, and unwavering support. I wholeheartedly recommend the Smart GreenCard Program to anyone navigating the EB1A green card application process. It's an investment that yields invaluable returns in your personal and professional journey.
