EB-1A Visa Denials Rising? Attorney Reveals USCIS Strategy Shift

#eb1a #usimmigration #greencard

Immigration attorney Kevin J Andrews says rising EB-1A visa denials in 2026 may not be due to lack of qualifications, but because applicants are failing to present a strong overall case narrative. According to Andrews, USCIS is now applying stricter scrutiny during the “Final Merits Determination” stage of review, even when applicants meet multiple EB-1A criteria.

The EB-1A visa category is designed for individuals with extraordinary ability in fields such as science, research, technology, medicine, arts, and business. However, recent petitions with publications, patents, citations, awards, and judging experience are still facing denials.
