The EB-1A Green Card Guide

You're not just filling out a form. You're staking years of work, and possibly your future in the US, on evidence you've built yourself, with no employer and no one else checking it before it reaches an examiner's desk. That pressure is real right now: the EB-1A approval rate just fell from 67% to 41.7% in about a year, and USCIS is scrutinizing self-petitions harder than it has in years. This guide exists so you're not guessing. It's the same evidence-first process used to catch the exact weaknesses getting strong cases denied right now, before an examiner does.

Through this guide you will:

• Understand exactly why approval rates collapsed, and what examiners are actually scrutinizing now
• Work through all 10 criteria with a dedicated evidence workbook for each
• Score your own evidence with the VIXA Evidence Strength Test before an examiner does it for you
• Turn vague, self-praising claims into evidence that survives scrutiny, with real before and after rewrites
• Catch red flags, prepare for an RFE or NOID, and run a full filing audit

Document preparation only. Not legal advice, not an eligibility judgment.
