Published Research
Peer-reviewed papers, conference publications, book chapters, technical reports, and citation or adoption evidence where available.
EB-1B Strategy
EB-1B evidence strategy for outstanding researchers.
EB1 Architect supports research evidence development for qualified candidates in university, institutional, and corporate R&D contexts where an employer-supported EB-1B pathway may be available.
Important EB-1B note
EB-1B is employer-petitioned.
EB1 Architect supports evidence development, but legal eligibility, qualifying employer requirements, job-offer structure, and filing strategy must be reviewed by immigration counsel.
Research evidence
Evidence categories for recognized researchers.
Original Scientific or Scholarly Contributions
Research contributions, inventions, methods, tools, systems, datasets, or frameworks that can be explained as significant in the field.
Judging or Peer Review
Reviewer roles, editorial participation, conference program work, grant review, technical judging, and expert evaluation of others’ work.
Awards and Recognition
Research awards, invited talks, fellowships, memberships, expert panels, media coverage, or independent recognition from the field.
Employer Research Role
Documentation of the research position, role permanence, department function, project scope, and employer support for the petition.
International Recognition
Evidence that recognition extends beyond a local workplace: independent letters, citations, adoption, collaborations, or invited roles.
Employer readiness
Questions to answer before an EB-1B petition strategy is finalized.
- Is there a permanent research or qualifying academic role?
- Can the employer document the research function and candidate’s accomplishments?
- Can the employer support the petition with position descriptions, project records, and institutional evidence?
- Does the candidate have at least three years of research or teaching experience?
- Is there evidence of international recognition in the academic or research field?
Corporate R&D Teams
Evidence strategy for applied AI, platform engineering, cybersecurity, semiconductor, robotics, telecom, data infrastructure, and industrial automation research roles.
Universities & Research Institutions
Publication, citation, peer-review, research-grant, teaching, and institutional recognition evidence organized for attorney review.
Applied Technology Researchers
Support for researchers whose work appears in products, patents, field deployments, internal R&D records, standards work, or technical platforms.
Workplan
Make the research record legible to immigration counsel.
- Research record auditReview publications, citations, projects, patents, reviews, grants, awards, and employer documentation.
- Recognition mappingSeparate internal accomplishments from field-level recognition and external validation.
- Employer coordinationIdentify position, project, and institutional records needed for attorney review.
Confidential intake
Request an EB-1B research evidence review.
Start with a review of the candidate’s research record and employer context before investing in a full evidence build.
