Approved after streamlining
Background
A senior interior designer with extensive experience and many successful projects, who retained us for an EB-1A petition to immigrate to the United States as an individual of extraordinary ability.
Challenges
The original petition ran to more than 1,800 pages. Because premium processing required a decision within 15 days, the officer did not read the full record and issued an RFE on several questionable grounds.
Strategy
Rather than adding more documents at the RFE stage, we systematically streamlined the original materials, removed redundant information, and kept only the most persuasive core evidence, cutting the filing to just over 400 pages.
Outcome
Approved after the materials were streamlined; the whole family received their green cards on Lunar New Year's Day.
