Sukesh has been in the US for more than 10 years, and he faces uncertainty in the US due to the lack of a green card. Although he had EB2 Petition approval, his priority dates are not current, as the EB2 green card category has huge backlogs for Indians, and final action dates are moving slowly in the monthly visa bulletin

 

When Sukesh learned that a research background isn’t necessary for the EB1A category and offers shorter green card wait times, he decided to pursue EB1A. Ultimately, he enrolled in the Smart Green Card VIP plan to proficiently showcase his expertise and underscore his achievements for EB1A.

 

In this case study, we will delve into how a Smart Green Card helped Sukesh navigate the EB1A criteria and final merits determination part. Don’t miss it, as it will give you an overview of the EB1A process.

Once Suresh enrolled in the Smart Green Card program, our team analyzed his profile and crafted a personalized EB1A action plan. As per Smart Green Card strategies, Sukesh aspired to satisfy seven EB1A criteria: Judging, Media, Scholarly Articles, High Salary, Original Contribution, Awards, and Critical Role.

Our team made efforts to identify judging opportunities relevant to Sukesh’s expertise and provided him with several chances to apply.

 

The Smart Green Card Team assisted him in crafting cold pitches for journal editors to secure peer reviews. Additionally, our team aided Sukesh in gathering the appropriate evidence to meet the EB1A criteria for judging.

Smart Green Card’s in-house press team crafted a narrative about Sukesh’s accomplishments in his field and pitched it to journalists at numerous major media publications. This organic process involves dedication, patience, and expertise. Moreover, organic press coverage implies his extraordinary ability.

 

However, the majority of PR wire firms don’t focus on the organic approach due to the additional time and significant effort required.

Sukesh was a product manager and did not have a research background, so he lacked knowledge of writing and publishing papers.

 

Upon enrolling in the Smart Green Card Program, our team offered him guidance in writing papers, including paper format, sample papers, methods for approaching the content, and more. Once Sukesh wrote his first draft, our team offered suggestions until it was refined for publication.

 

Furthermore, our team provided him with a list of journal opportunities in his field where he can publish papers, ensuring that the journals have a reasonable timeline for publishing.

 

The collective publication support of Smart Green Card enabled Sukesh to write and publish several impactful papers in his field.

Our team actively searched for award opportunities in his field and provided him with a list of opportunities he could pursue. The Smart Green Card team also helped him collect robust evidence to satisfy the EB1A awards criteria.

 

Sukesh has played a critical role in his work that is significant to his organization and has impacted the field. However, he was unsure about his critical role. During a strategy call session, our team highlighted his critical role and also assisted in collecting evidence to demonstrate it.

Once Sukesh gathered essential evidence for EB1A, our team introduced him to a US-based attorney who specializes in handling EB1A cases in his field.

 

After the attorney writes the EB1A petition, the Smart Green Card Team reviews it and provides suggestions for improving or adding missing details.

 

So, Smart Green Card support will be available to you from the Customized Profile strategy until your EB1A petition is approved.

In our Success Spotlight sessions, our team usually asks a few questions to the EB1A-approved member.

 

Sukesh answered: “The Smart Green Card Team highlighted my achievements that boosted my confidence on the EB1A journey. Beyond obtaining my green card, this path has illuminated the intersection of various related fields with my domain, providing an opportunity for reflection on my past work. This momentum drives me toward advancing my career to new heights.”
