Stay on O-1—or start thinking about EB-1A?

It's one of the questions extraordinary-ability professionals ask most often, and it isn't a question that can responsibly be reduced to a universal yes or no.

On September 10, we'll discuss the bigger picture, current EB-1 concerns, final-merits questions and why individual circumstances matter.

Bring your questions.

Is AI writing immigration RFEs?

It's a provocative question—but it's also exactly the type of question where rumor and confirmed information need to be separated carefully.

During our September 10 livestream, we'll discuss what USCIS has actually said about technology and AI, what practitioners are observing, and what remains an open question.

Fear or fact? Let's talk about it.
