Do You Qualify for an EB-1A or EB-2 NIW? Ask a U.S. Immigration Attorney Anything.

Hi everyone!

I'm Zoe Ji Wilson, a U.S. immigration attorney with Manifest Law. My practice focuses on employment based immigration, helping researchers, founders, entrepreneurs, engineers, artists, and other professionals navigate pathways including EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1, and employment based permanent residence.

One of the biggest misconceptions about employment based immigration is that only internationally famous individuals qualify for categories like EB-1A or the National Interest Waiver. In reality, many qualified professionals simply aren't sure how USCIS evaluates their work or what evidence can help build a stronger case.

Whether you're just exploring your options or already preparing an application, feel free to ask anything.

Some topics we can discuss:

• EB-1A versus EB-2 NIW
• What makes a strong petition
• Publications, citations, awards and media
• O-1 visas
• Long term immigration strategy

I'll be here today from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM ET. Looking forward to your questions!
