Some Approved EB-1A Cases for your Information

The EB-1A (Alien with Extraordinary Ability) category has recently become the number one consideration for most alien researchers who are applying for a green card, especially since the visa number for the first preference green card application is currently available to both Indian and Chinese born applicants.  However, the EB-1A category can be intimidating since it requires high criteria for the petitioner, which leaves many people wondering if they are qualified for such a classification.  Though it may seem challenging to meet the criteria set forth by the statute for this category, it is most certainly doable, especially with the help of Zhang & Associates, P.C., whose attorneys boast strong track records with numerous approvals for individuals from all kinds of backgrounds. To offer you some examples of successful cases, Managing Attorney of our Chicago office, would like to share with you again a list of some of the average, approved EB-1A cases that she has handled in the hopes that this information will give you additional details concerning your own case.  Please also see some old case information at: http://www.hooyou.com/news/news072109eb1a.html
