Extraordinary Ability (EB-1A/O-1A/B) Expert Opinion (Criteria-based)
Carnegie Evaluations provides comprehensive Criteria-Based Expert Opinions for EB-1A/O1A/B prepared by qualified faculty experts in the petitioner’s field of endeavor. Our experts analyze each claimed evidentiary criterion applicable to the petitioner, including nationally or internationally recognized awards, selective memberships, published material about the petitioner, judging the work of others, original contributions of major significance, authorship of scholarly articles, artistic exhibitions, leading or critical roles, high salary or remuneration, and commercial success in the performing arts, against the considerations applied by USCIS in evaluating extraordinary ability criteria.
The expert evaluates the documentary evidence within the context of the petitioner’s specific field and provides a professional assessment of the significance and strength of the evidence presented for each criterion. The opinion goes beyond simply identifying or confirming documentary evidence. Our experts provide substantive field-specific analysis and professional context, explaining why particular accomplishments, contributions, publications, judging activities, memberships, roles, or other evidence demonstrate distinction and recognition within the petitioner’s field. The analysis is tailored to the petitioner’s area of expertise and informed by the expert’s academic and professional knowledge of the field.
The comprehensive opinion also includes a Final Merits Determination (FMD) / Sustained Acclaim Discussion. After evaluating the individual criteria, the expert considers the petitioner’s accomplishments in their totality and provides an independent professional assessment of whether the overall record demonstrates a level of expertise consistent with an individual who has risen to the top of the field and has sustained national or international acclaim. This concluding analysis considers the significance, quality, consistency, and cumulative impact of the petitioner’s accomplishments rather than viewing the evidentiary criteria in isolation.
