★★★★★

“Once built into our systems, we found these tools to be very insightful. They give a tremendous second review of the petition and give actionable points to help improve the petitions prior to filing. Very cool resource.”
Andrew Solis, Verified Buyer

What this kit is

A local second review of an EB-1A I-140 draft. Files stay at the firm. Counsel keeps every legal judgment.

  • Map the record to INA 203(b)(1)(A) and 8 CFR 204.5(h).
  • Separate facts, exhibits, issues, questions for counsel, and counsel’s legal decisions.
  • Flag gaps, overclaims, and RFE-prone drafting problems without predicting USCIS action.
  • Optionally pass supported facts through the Immigration Voice System so petition language stays in the firm’s voice.

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
  • An O-1A kit or an EB-2 NIW kit — do not import their standards
  • A promise that three criteria, a one-time award, or a prior O-1 approval will result in approval

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

  • Local only. Petition and evidence stay with the firm.
  • 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 may use this kit after purchase?

A purchase authorizes one individual. If someone else at the firm needs to run it too, have them buy their own kit. That is how this stays funded. We do not lock the zip. More FAQ.

Do files leave the firm?

No. The kit is a local workflow. ExtraordinaryOS does not receive the petition or the evidence. Counsel keeps every legal judgment.

Privacy

Your client material stays with your firm. ExtraordinaryOS sells the local workflow and templates. We do not receive the petition or the evidence, and counsel retains every legal decision.
