EB1AGenius is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Nothing on this site creates an attorney-client relationship. USCIS adjudications are discretionary.

The evaluation applies 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h), USCIS Policy Manual Volume 6, Part F, Chapter 2, Kazarian v. USCIS, 596 F.3d 1115 (9th Cir. 2010), and Matter of Chawathe, 25 I&N Dec. 369 (AAO 2010) as an educational framework only.

Meeting three regulatory criteria is necessary but not sufficient. Final merits (sustained national or international acclaim and small-percentage standing at the top of the field) is a separate determination.
