EB-1 visa/Green Card

Is the National Interest Waiver relevant to the EB-1 visa, or is it exclusively associated with the EB-2 visa? If it applies, how does it affect the application process and requirements?

I’m particularly interested in learning about the evidence required to demonstrate extraordinary ability in science, arts, education, business, or athletics. Can you clarify what types of documents are most compelling and provide examples of successful cases?

I’d like to know if the reputation of the journals for which I serve as a peer reviewer (e.g., high-impact journals) significantly affects my EB-1 visa application. Are there specific metrics or benchmarks that USCIS considers?

Could you provide examples of how an applicant can effectively demonstrate that their peer review work has advanced or influenced their field, as required for the EB-1 visa? Is publishing commentary or critique based on reviews an added advantage?

Besides reviewing individual articles, are there other roles (e.g., editorial board membership, guest editing special issues) that enhance my profile for an EB-1 visa application? How can I document these effectively?

Can you provide a step-by-step breakdown of the EB-1 application process, including filing forms, preparing documentation, and addressing any challenges? I would also like to know how long each step typically takes and what can delay the process.

Could you provide guidance on how to present my peer review activities compellingly in the petition letter for an EB-1 visa? What specific language or structure should I use to highlight its importance?
