EB1-A, USCIS 2-Step Review Process

Stay informed with the latest news, updates, and changes in U.S. immigration laws that could impact your EB-2 NIW or EB-1A visa application.

Ever wonder how USCIS actually evaluates an EB1-A petition?
It’s not just about checking boxes — it’s a two-step review process.

Step 1: Regulatory Criteria Check

USCIS asks: “Does this evidence meet the rules?”

  • Are your awards, media features, roles, or letters acceptable on paper?

  • This step is about proving you meet the minimum bar.

Step 2: Final Merits Determination

Now USCIS asks: “So what does it all mean together?”

  • They weigh the total quality of your evidence.

The real question: Do you stand out as one of the very top in your field?

Why Both Steps Matter

Meeting criteria alone does not equal approval. You must also show that your overall impact proves you’ve reached the very top of your profession.
