Hi guys!

My case is quite complicated since I do meet some of criteria for EB1 EA for arts and business as well. I was also thinking about opening a company in NY or SF bay, I could do that via E2, or L1 (connecting a business in my homecountry with one I would open in US) visa but I would rather go on EB1 EA. It would be much better for me to have some time working in the US,learning about the system etc., so I was thinking about applying for an EB1 EA but writting in a cover letter that I intend to open a business within a year or two, so that may increase my chances for getting approved.

What do you think about that?

Is there anyone that filed a pettiton for EB1 EA? Could you recommend a good lawyer?

Murthy?

Any of the top Employment Immigration Lawyers.

Do not remember ever seeing an EA on this forum. For obvious reasons they are very rare.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Thanks! I'll contact Murthy... ;)

Well, I tried to contact some of them, but rarely got any response, and if I even got one It basicly included price you'll have to pay before asking anything and since I already spoke to one attorney regarding my issue, and he was specialized in Employment Immigration but didn't even know about EB1 EA I was kind of disappointed so I really need an expert in field.

Not all Lawyers provide free initial consultations, probably much rarer in this field.

Shusterman, and the big one in NY whose name escapes me.

I think it very unlikely many who specialise in this area do free consultations.

None of the good lawyers would give you free consultation.

If you have questions and would want a correct answer you might have to fork out some money.

As Boiler said Murthy is one of the top immigration lawyer, I am not aware of the other one he mentioned.

It's not a problem for me to pay, but as I said, I would like to see if the lawyer even does this kind of things and at least some kind of feedback meaning- yes,I think you stand a chanse for it or no you don't, or not quite but I think we could manage something suitable for you...

There may be language issues, that is what Lawyers do and charge for.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

For asking if they do such kinda case or not they would not charge, but beyond that if you have any questions they would not do it for free.

Are you talking about the O-1? EB-1 EA is for green card. O-1 is the nonimmigrant version. You need an employer or agent to file O-1. You should do it through an attorney. Also, writing that you are intending to leave your employer and start your own business at some point is not going to make it easier to approve.
