hey! I'm Archie - product manager at Amazon, previously held product and engineering role at Microsoft and Bank of America. I self- petitioned my EB1-A in 2021 and got it approved within 14 days via premium processing. Since then, I have helped folks from across the tech industry get their EB1A. In this course, I intend to share my experience on EB1-A. I created this course because there is a general lack of awareness on EB1-A and there are not many examples out there who have shared their in-depth experience regarding EB1-A. So, to scale myself better, I put multiple hours into preparing this course, distilling learnings and hopefully making this less intimidating.

Questions? usasmartimmigration@gmail.com
1. How much does EB1-A cost?
Here is a typical breakdown of costs,
USCIS fee: i-140 fee - $700 + optional $2500 (premium processing)
Legal service: EB1-A legal service would typically cost $7k - $10k for i-140 preparation. This is your core EB1-A application.
2. I'm not sure if I'm the right fit. Can you help me evaluate before I join the course?
We seed enough information in the first two sessions for you to be able to self-evaluate. If you believe that this is not the right path for you, just email before the third session and you'll get a full refund. No questions asked.
3. What if I can't attend all the sessions and need to miss some?
We understand that timing may not work out for a certain session. You're welcome to join upcoming cohorts for a refresher/in case you've missed sessions in the past (at no additional cost to you). Unfortunately, we do not record sessions for the course.
4. What support will you provide if my EB1-A case is not approved in first attempt?
In case you are unsuccessful in your first attempt, you can still continue to ask questions in Discord channel, join a future cohort, if available, free of charge.
5. If EB1-A was that attainable, why so many smart people I know don't have an approved EB1-A green-card?
There's no doubt that EB1-A has a high bar. However, most people who meet that bar do not realize it. Additionally, we believe that there is a lack of awareness and incorrect assumptions prevent people from exploring this option. You'll have your fair share of doubts in your our own journey. As you follow this trail, potential rewards will likely outweigh the investment, and this will seem like a shot worth taking!
6. I have an approved EB-2 i-140 from my employer, will filling EB1-A impact my case?
Your EB1-A application outcome has no bearing on your EB-2 immigration application. In fact, if you have a priority date from EB2, you can port it to your EB1-A application.
7. I still have questions. How can I talk to you?
I recognize that you may still have questions. I'd love to answer them and hope to provide you with the clarity you need. Here's the Calendly link: https://calendly.com/usasmartimmigration/20mins (you drive the agenda - make sure to include it in the invite).
