EB-1A approved after a detailed RFE response for a senior financial risk leader 

Our client had spent more than 20 years building the systems that protect major U.S. banks from fraud, but USCIS initially accepted only one of the five criteria we claimed and issued an RFE questioning the rest. Rather than withdraw the case, we answered every point with objective, independent evidence, including government and Federal Reserve rankings, third-party assessments, circulation data for the publications covering his work, association bylaws, and proof that his contributions had been adopted across the field. The petition was approved, showing that an RFE is a request, not a denial, and that EB-1A is open to senior industry professionals without a PhD or academic career.
