Please see below my comments: - **YOUR EB-1A APPLICATION** collapsed:: true - In order to qualify for an EB-1A, you need to get at least 3 out of 8 [extraordinary ability criteria](https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/permanent-workers/employment-based-immigration-first-preference-eb-1). In our opinion, you have good chances for this category however there is some room for improvement. As of now, we will be able to argue the following factors: - ** 1.** **Leading role for distinguished organizations** (strong) - ** 2. High remuneration** (provided that we will have documentary evidence of this salary) - ** 3.** **Original contribution **(building JOKR's app, specifically a personalized storefront for each client with geolocation indicating what you can buy in your area) - ** 4. Authorship** (IEEE Article, we recommend adding two more) - "The full process of assembling the case can take between 2-6 months, with the bulk of the time spent on document and information gathering. This timeline significantly depends on the timely submission of supporting evidence and cooperation from your side." - Updating estimated end of this project - my part - to be Dec 18th, 2022 id:: 631baaae-fdd9-4faf-8815-67df06b4f734 - 💸 Jul 11th, 2022 $1000 paid. - Jun 29th, 2022 project init - connect with lawyers from PassRight; Seems to specialize in founder visa dealing with O1 and EB1.
