Are there very good and effective immigrtion lawyers in NIgeria who can support an applicant applying for US visa? Previous rejections plus some other complication personal circumstances warrant needing professiona help.

A useful first step is to identify the exact visa category and the problem created by the previous refusals. Someone who mainly handles visitor visas may not be the right fit for an EB-1A, EB-2 NIW or O-1A matter.

Before retaining anyone, verify the lawyer's U.S. state-bar status and disciplinary history, ask who will draft and review the work, request a written scope and fee agreement, and ask how prior refusals and inconsistent form answers will be reviewed. No representative should promise an approval. The full refusal records and prior submissions matter more than a short summary of the complications.

hello good afternoon, I'll like your guide. brief profile BSC Statistics over 15 years experience in Banking a coupe of awards here and there 2 media personality publications please what are my chances and how do I begin. i'll be expecting feedbacks.

It is not possible to assess chances from these labels alone. Start by defining the proposed field and the work to be pursued in the United States, then examine each item for what it proves.

For EB-2, a bachelor's degree followed by at least five years of progressive post-degree experience in the specialty may support the advanced-degree classification, but a national interest waiver still requires a separate Dhanasar analysis. For EB-1A, the type, selectivity and scope of the awards matter, and published material must be about the person and their work in qualifying media. Fifteen years of experience is context, not a criterion by itself.

Hi everyone, please is there any chance for B.Ed Special Education, MA Education(Nigeria), Inclusion and Special needs(UK). Never teach again since I left Nigeria in 202, Two co-authored papers. I’d like to know if anyone here can suggest which category i stand a chance. Many thanks.

A category cannot be identified from the degrees and two papers alone. For EB-2, the first question is whether the education and experience establish the advanced-degree or exceptional-ability classification. A national interest waiver is a separate analysis: the proposed endeavour must have substantial merit and national importance, the person must be well positioned to advance it, and the record must show why waiving the job-offer and labour-certification requirements would benefit the United States.

It would help to define the work the person plans to continue, the problem it addresses, and the evidence connecting their background to that endeavour.

Hello my people, I need help please, I received an RFE for my EB1A petition. I currently qualify for the category. 1. High Salary 2. Media 3. Membership 4. Critical role 5. Original contribution I have more evidence to submit to backup my claims but i need help with anyone who has done the RFE the right way... Thanks.

The best starting point is the RFE itself, not the number of criteria claimed. List every factual and legal concern the officer raised, then map each one to the exact evidence and explanation that answers it.

More documents are useful only when they close a specific gap. For example, a critical-role response should show both what made the role critical and why the organisation is distinguished. Original contributions should connect the work to significance in the field, not only describe the work. The response should also keep final merits in view, since satisfying at least three criteria is only the first step.

In other unrelated news, I just had a look at EB1A requirements as a Dr I know is tired of the UK and its immigration rhetoric (surprise surprise) and it does seem like the UK went to copy and paste their Global Talent visa requirements from there or should we say modelled after it



Still waiting to see changes to the GTV they said were coming anyways

They have a surface resemblance because both may use evidence of achievement and recognition, but they are separate systems with different legal tests.

EB-1A requires either a qualifying one-time achievement or evidence meeting at least three listed criteria, followed by a final-merits review of whether the record as a whole shows sustained acclaim and that the person is among the small percentage at the top of the field. The UK Global Talent route uses its own endorsement or eligible-prize framework.

Some documents may be useful in both applications, but an argument built for one should not be copied into the other. The evidence has to be mapped to the exact test of the route being used.
