New-Media Entrepreneur — EB-1A Approved With No RFE in Under 5 Months

Approved in under 5 months, no RFE (no premium processing)

Ms. H. is a prominent new-media entrepreneur. After a comprehensive evaluation of her background, our team built a 112-exhibit record that mapped her work across the EB-1A criteria from every viable angle.

We argued five criteria: national/international awards, peer review, original major contributions, professional and mainstream media coverage, and leading or critical roles at organizations of distinguished reputation.

EB-1A petitions for entrepreneurs from outside the U.S. are not just about excellence in field — they require bridging differences in country, culture, business norms, industry conventions, and language so the adjudicator can recognize the petitioner as among the small number of individuals at the top of the field. Built that way, the petition was approved less than five months after filing, with no RFE.

Filed July 14, 2023; approved December 5, 2023.
