A client asked me last week why so many strong EB-1A profiles get denied. The answer took a few minutes, so I recorded it here instead of writing it out. Merit Visa Services prepares EB-1A and NIW self-petition documents. Non-attorney document preparation, Tucson, Arizona.

A good number of our clients come from the countries most affected by the current restrictions, and these are hard months for them. What is worth understanding is that the doors closing are mostly on one side of the system, while the merit-based side stays open and is arguably being pushed harder than before. Farmers will tell you the planting happens in the dry season. If you hold an advanced degree, or your record puts you in the top percentile of your field, there is still a petition the system is built to say yes to, and that is exactly the work we do at Merit Visa Services

Two green card paths let skilled professionals petition for themselves with no employer and no attorney, the EB-2 NIW and the EB-1A, and I have watched over forty people win with their own records. So tell me, does your work fit the NIW or the EB-1A, and what is the one thing stopping you from starting?
