Online Gaming Executive — EB-1A Approved With No RFE in 6 Months
Approved in 6 months, no RFE (regular processing)

Mr. D. is a senior executive at a Chinese online gaming company. At first glance his profile was unremarkable next to other executives in the same industry, and he himself was uncertain that he met the EB-1A standard.
The bilateral attorney team invested significant time gathering information about both his personal record and the company's trajectory, then performed a deep industry analysis to position his contributions. The argument was constructed point → line → plane: from the petitioner's specific results, to a coherent track record, to his outsized influence in the field.
We argued five EB-1A criteria: awards, media coverage, association membership, leading/critical role, and high salary. The cumulative case demonstrated both his commercial talent and his rare standing among peers.
Filed August 15, 2023; approved February 16, 2024 — six months end-to-end, no RFE.
