Stuck in the H-1B backlog? Let’s not wait it out.
If you’re from India or China, you already know the lines are long. Our Readiness Strategy is a simple, no-stress way to figure out your best next move now—what you already qualify for, what’s one step away, and how to build the missing pieces fast.
Why now: India and China nationals face extended EB-2/EB-3 backlogs. Instead of waiting, we start with a Readiness Strategy a focused plan to (1) choose the right category and (2) close any gaps in your evidence so you can file sooner and stronger.
Our Readiness Strategy (Fast, Practical, Personalized)
- Profile Audit (O-1 / NIW / EB-1): We map what you already have (awards, publications, patents, leadership, media, salary data, venture traction, etc.) to category criteria.
- Evidence Build-Up Plan (6–24 months): Targeted steps to fill gaps journal articles, standards work, peer review, advisory roles, speaking, press, letters, business traction prioritized by impact and speed.
- Filing Sequence: For many, that means O-1 first (work visa with no lottery), then NIW or EB-1 for the green card.
- Timing & Chart Checks: We monitor the Visa Bulletin and use concurrent filing where eligible (inside the U.S.).
- If You’re Not Ready Yet: We’ll schedule milestone check-ins and adjust the plan as wins accumulate.

Quick FAQ
I’m on H-1B should I wait?
Not necessarily. With backlogs, an O-1 → NIW/EB-1 sequence can reduce overall time and risk.
What if I’m missing big-ticket items (awards, press)?
That’s normal. Our Readiness Strategy focuses on winnable, time-efficient evidence that still satisfies the rules.
