Hi all, I'm currently going through the process of applying for EB1B with the help of my employer. I am considering applying for EB1A in parallel with an external lawyer. I am curious to know if others in this group have done the same and could share their experience. Specifically:
1. Is there any benefit to pursuing both in parallel, or any negative consequences (e.g. if one of the petitions gets denied while the other is being processed)?
2. Has anyone opted for premium processing in either or both cases, and know of the pros and cons?
3. Any other benefits, pitfalls to look out for. Any advice would be valuable!
Thanks!
 
I've actually been through a similar situation. I applied for EB1B with my employer's support and simultaneously pursued EB1A with an external lawyer. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but ultimately worth it. Pursuing both gave me a backup plan in case one got denied. I opted for premium processing for EB1A, which helped speed up the process, but it's essential to weigh the costs and benefits. My advice would be to stay organized, communicate effectively with your lawyer, and be prepared for a potentially lengthy process. Good luck with your applications!
 
Eb1A requires a lot of prep, investing even 6 months on publications, citation and review can boost profile a lot.
You can check some courese on xxxx on how to publish papers which are catered specificlly to eb1a.

Hi, I submitted I-140 together with I-485 September 23, and my EB1A has been approved on 11/19/24. I was also considering withdrawing Asylum application as my case awaits a date in immigration court, so that I stay with EB1A application only.
