India's Only Multi-Endorsed EB-1A Practice

The difference between
an application and
a winning petition.

USCIS officers review hundreds of EB-1A petitions weekly. The ones that win aren't just accurate — they're framed around a clear, compelling narrative of sustained national or international acclaim.

Our Chennai practice has built EB-1A petitions for IIT Madras and Anna University alumni, AIIMS-trained surgeons, Chennai-based software architects, and Tamil Nadu's most recognised creative professionals. We are the only consultancy in India with proven approvals across all 10 USCIS extraordinary ability criteria.

01
Deep Profile Audit
A 3-hour structured session mapping every achievement, publication, award, salary band, and leadership role against all 10 USCIS criteria. We tell you exactly which 3–6 criteria you can win on, and which to avoid.
02
Petition Letter — I-140
A 5,000–8,000 word petition brief crafted by our specialists — structured to pre-empt USCIS objections, address each criterion with indexed evidence, and frame your career as a narrative of sustained extraordinary ability.

Expert Reference Letters
We brief, draft, and refine 4–6 expert letters from peers, collaborators, and field leaders. We identify referees strategically — US-based experts carry significantly more weight with USCIS officers.

How It Works

From Chennai office to US Green Card

I
Week 1
Confidential Profile Audit — Chennai
Your lead consultant conducts a structured 3-hour session — in our Chennai office or over a secure video call. We map your entire career against all 10 USCIS criteria and identify your 3–5 strongest grounds. If your case is not ready, we tell you then — free of charge — and give you a 6-month strengthening roadmap.
II
Weeks 2–4
Petition Drafting & Evidence Architecture
We build your I-140 petition from the ground up — bespoke personal statement, evidence index, citation analysis, salary benchmarking, and reference letter coordination. Every document is reviewed internally before it reaches you.
III
Week 5–6
USCIS I-140 Petition Filing
We file your I-140 with USCIS — with or without Premium Processing (15 business days) depending on your timeline. We monitor the case daily and are prepared to respond to any RFE within 48 hours.
IV
Post-Approval
Consular Processing & Green Card
Once your I-140 is approved, we manage Consular Processing at the US Consulate in Chennai — DS-260, CEAC, civil documents, medical examination, and personal interview preparation. Your Green Card is stamped before you board.
Before You Decide

What every Chennai professional asks us

The H-1B is temporary and employer-tied — you lose status if you change jobs. The EB-2 NIW requires proving national interest and often takes years in the India queue. The EB-1A is a direct permanent Green Card — self-petitioned, no employer, no PERM, no labour queue. For extraordinary professionals, it is significantly faster and gives complete independence. Current wait for India EB-1A: priority date is often current or near-current, unlike EB-2/EB-3 where the India backlog can exceed 10 years.
Because an EB-1A petition is not a form — it is a legal argument. Our engagement fee reflects the depth of work: a senior consultant dedicating 40–60 hours to your case, bespoke legal drafting, strategic referee identification, and evidence architecture built to withstand USCIS scrutiny. We are also the only firm in India with proven approvals across all 10 USCIS criteria. You are not paying for optimism — you are paying for India's most experienced EB-1A practice.
An RFE is not a denial — it is a request for clarification or additional evidence. Our Chennai team has responded to over 80 RFEs with a 100% positive outcome rate. RFE response is included in your engagement at no additional cost. We are typically prepared with contingency evidence before we even file.
Not at all. Your I-140 petition is filed with USCIS in the US — it does not depend on your location in India. However, Consular Processing will be conducted at the US Consulate Chennai if you are based in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, or Karnataka — which we coordinate fully. If you relocate, we adjust accordingly.
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 are included as derivative beneficiaries on your EB-1A petition. They receive permanent resident status simultaneously with you — with full work authorisation for your spouse immediately upon arrival. We assist with all derivative filings as part of the engagement.
USCIS does not require you to be a Nobel laureate. "Extraordinary ability" means you are among the small percentage at the very top of your field — which is a meaningful but achievable standard. Most of our Chennai clients were genuinely surprised by how strong their profiles were once properly assessed. That is the exact purpose of our free profile audit — we tell you honestly, based on your actual achievements, not your self-perception. Enquire and find out.
