For U.S. immigration lawyers and law firms. Not for petitioners.

EB-1A Petition Second Review Kit

A local second review of an EB-1A Form I-140 draft the firm already wrote. ExtraordinaryOS does not receive client files. Counsel keeps every legal judgment.

What it is
A structured second look that writes a five-head memo for counsel: Facts; Evidence; Issues; Suggested questions; Counsel legal decisions.
The standard
INA 203(b)(1)(A) and 8 CFR 204.5(h). USCIS then does a final merits determination on the petition as a whole.
Price
$199 one-time. No subscription.

See an actual component run on five fictional claims, with the cited source text and findings side by side.

Unzip the kit on a firm machine. Use a firm-approved AI setup with appropriate client-data controls.

Client files are not uploaded to ExtraordinaryOS. A cloud AI tool may process them under its own terms; use only a firm-approved setup.

  • Optional language pass after facts are grounded.

What this kit is not

  • Legal advice or a substitute for an attorney’s legal conclusion
  • A filing service, portal, or document-upload product
  • A petitioner self-help kit

A fictional memo sample

This shows one issue in the five-part counsel memo. The person, project, and exhibits are invented. An actual review depends on the firm's draft and source records.

  1. FactsThe draft says a researcher designed a screening method that two departments at her employer later adopted.
  2. EvidenceA fictional supervisor letter describes her role. Two internal rollout notes name the departments, but neither note shows use outside the employer.
  3. IssuesThe draft says the method changed practice across the field. The cited exhibits support internal adoption; the sample record does not identify independent corroboration of wider use.
  4. Suggested questionsWhich dated source supports each adoption claim? Is there a permitted independent record of use beyond the employer? Should the draft narrow the claim if no such record exists?
  5. Counsel legal decisionsDecide what claim the evidence supports, whether more records should be requested, and how to address the issue in the petition and final merits analysis.

The kit organizes a second review. It does not decide eligibility, predict an outcome, or replace counsel's judgment.

The standard this kit reviews against

INA 203(b)(1)(A) describes the classification if the person has extraordinary ability demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim, seeks to continue work in that area, and entry will substantially benefit prospectively the United States.

8 CFR 204.5(h)(2) defines extraordinary ability as a level of expertise indicating that the individual is one of that small percentage who have risen to the very top of the field of endeavor.

USCIS Policy Manual Volume 6, Part F, Chapter 2 instructs a two-step analysis: (1) regulatory criteria (one-time major internationally recognized award, or at least three of ten, or qualifying comparable evidence), then (2) a final merits determination on the petition in its entirety.

Confirm the live statute and Policy Manual before filing. Applying the two-step analysis to a particular record is counsel’s legal work.

Reviewer posture

  • Use only a firm-approved AI setup for petition and evidence files.
  • No invented facts, citations, quotations, or confidence.
  • Meeting three criteria does not complete the classification analysis.
  • If a fact is missing, write “not in the record.”
  • Drafting is not a legal conclusion. Voice-system output is language for counsel to accept, edit, or discard.
  • Stop if the reviewer is asked for approval odds or a “readiness score.”

FAQ

The bound that matters before you buy.

Who receives client files?

ExtraordinaryOS does not receive the petition or evidence. Your firm chooses the AI setup. Cloud tools may process client material under their own terms; counsel must approve the handling and keeps every legal judgment. More FAQ.

Privacy

ExtraordinaryOS sells a downloadable workflow and does not receive the petition or evidence. Your firm chooses and approves its AI setup. A cloud AI provider may receive client material under its own terms, even when the kit files stay on a firm machine. Counsel must check that provider's data handling before use and retains every legal decision.
