Passed in Guangzhou the first time
With the client all the way to arrival
After the EB-1A Approval, Our Work Had Just Begun
Background
Mr. H had his EB-1A (extraordinary ability) petition approved, and recently attended his immigrant visa interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, which he passed.
Challenges
- Many people think a USCIS approval is the finish line. But there is still one key step on the immigration path: the consular interview.
- Between approval and the interview, there are many details to prepare (including activating account information), and the client needed ongoing guidance.
Strategy
- Stayed in touch after the EB-1A approval and answered all of Mr. H's questions.
- Coached him through interview preparation, including details such as activating account information.
- Sent him our "U.S. Immigrant Entry Process Guide" right after he passed the interview.

Closing Note
Getting the visa is not the finish line; stepping onto U.S. soil is. We give every EB-1A client free guidance through the entire entry process, so you know what to expect and arrive with confidence.
