Free EB1A Readiness Check

Not sure if your EB1A case is actually strong enough yet?

Use this page to pressure-test fit before you spend more. The point is not to give fake certainty. It is to help you see whether you already have buyer-relevant proof, whether NIW may be the cleaner near-term path, or whether you need more evidence-building before a paid workflow makes sense.

Good-fit questions

Five questions that usually matter more than “Am I eligible?”

Question 1

Do you already have at least 2–3 categories of evidence that a skeptical reviewer could follow without hand-waving?

Examples: judging, media coverage, high salary, original contributions with consequence, critical role, selective awards, authorship, memberships with real selectivity.

Question 2

Can you prove consequence, not just activity?

A title, project list, or résumé line is rarely enough. The stronger question is whether an outsider could understand why your work mattered and what independent evidence supports it.

Question 3

Are your strongest wins recent, documented, and consistent across public proof, internal proof, and likely recommender stories?

If your best case depends on memory, vague prestige, or inconsistent titles, you probably need cleanup before paying for deeper work.

Question 4

Would NIW, O-1, or more evidence-building be a cleaner next step than forcing EB1A right now?

The right answer is often “not yet.” That is useful information, not failure.

Question 5

What exactly is blocking confidence today: missing evidence, weak criterion mapping, or a messy packet?

Different blockers need different next steps. Readiness confusion is not the same problem as weak proof.

How to use it: if your answers are thin or mostly speculative, do not force a purchase. Start with free guidance or more evidence-building first. If the evidence is real but scattered, Starter is the right low-risk next step.
