EB-1A self petition, no job offer

This is one of the reasons people look at EB-1A instead of H-1B. You do not need a company to sponsor you. You still need a real extraordinary-ability file.

What self-petition does not waive

You still need three of ten criteria or a true one-time major award, then final merits. You still need to show you will continue in the field. Nationality is not a bar. Wait times after approval still follow the visa bulletin, which this tool does not score.

Why this tool helps a self-petition

If you are filing for yourself, you are also the one gathering exhibits. That is where this site is built to help. It saves time: you see which of the ten boxes already have proof, and which still need a primary exhibit, before you pay counsel to sort the same folder.

The free check takes about 2 minutes. The paid report maps each file, asks officer-style questions, and gives a 30-day list. It does not file Form I-140. It does not replace a lawyer. It keeps you from spending weeks on the wrong box.

This is not a law firm and does not file petitions. USCIS decides each case on its own record.
