Knowledge Base
Frequently Asked Questions.
Clear, transparent answers on the EB-1A framework, our diagnostic precision, and platform mechanics.
Profile Eligibility
Do I need a PhD, a patent, or a Nobel Prize to qualify?
No. While academia relies heavily on citations, the technology and business tracks weight metrics like high commercial salaries, scaling critical software infrastructure, leading venture-backed startups, or serving as an industry expert reviewer.
Does working at a startup count, or do I need a giant tech company like Google?
Startups are highly viable. Leading a company through a major venture round (Seed, Series A/B) or building a core piece of tech that drives massive user growth qualifies as a "Critical Role" under the regulatory framework.
The Self-Petition Process
Do I need an employer, an immigration sponsor, or an active job offer?
No. The EB-1A is a self-petitioned visa category. You do not need an employer, a sponsor, or an active U.S. job offer. You are evaluated entirely on your individual extraordinary capability.
Can I use this tool if I plan to self-petition?
Absolutely — this platform was custom-built for self-petitioners. The EB-1A framework explicitly allows you to file without an employer sponsor. eb1avisa.ai gives you the precise toolset, automated gap analysis, and Evidence Vault structure to orchestrate an elite self-petition entirely independently.
Platform & Security
Is eb1avisa.ai a law firm?
No. eb1avisa.ai is an advanced legal technology platform, not a law firm, and we do not provide formal legal advice. We provide automated, algorithmic profile diagnostics and evidence vault compilation systems to help you build, evaluate, and optimize your own petition framework.
How accurate is the Forensic Diagnostic scan?
Highly precise. The engine parses your profile and maps it against thousands of real tech-sector USCIS adjudication patterns. It identifies definite green-lit strengths and highlights critical "amber" risk gaps where your evidence needs reinforcement, saving you months of guesswork.
Is my uploaded career data secure?
Completely. Your CV, papers, and data are protected by bank-grade AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Processing happens in isolated, stateless sandboxes, meaning your proprietary tech data is immediately shredded post-analysis and never used to train public AI models.
