What you can ask
These are starting points. You ask in your own words — any question about the decisions, the criteria or the evidence — and every answer comes back verified and cited.
Fit and strategyHow do outcomes compare for software developers, physicians, musicians and athletes? How many criteria does the AAO find met per appeal?
The ten criteriaWhich pairs of criteria are most often met together? How does the AAO reason when it rejects a one-time major award? Three criteria is the threshold, not a guarantee — what happens next?
EvidenceWhich award types are accepted for the prize criterion? How are citation records weighed? What makes published material “about the petitioner”?
Final meritsHow often does recognition limited to the employer sink final merits? What does the AAO weigh beyond the number of criteria met?
Comparable evidence and trendsFor which criteria is comparable evidence offered, and how often is that criterion then met? How has each criterion’s not-met share changed by year?
Questions people ask before subscribing
Is this legal advice?No. The Analyzer reports what the AAO decided in published cases and what the Policy Manual says. It never evaluates your petition or predicts an outcome. For advice about your case, talk to an immigration attorney.
Where does the data come from?Every non-precedent EB-1A decision the AAO has published — 4,800+ spanning 20 years — downloaded from uscis.gov, read, coded and verified. New decisions are added every week.
What counts as a question?Each answer you open, whether you typed the question or picked a suggested one. Browsing questions, suggestions and filters are free. Your count resets on your billing date.
Do you keep what I ask?No. Questions are not saved to your account. Only your question count is stored.
I already subscribe to the EB-2 NIW Analyzer. Is this included?Subscriptions are per petition type, so the EB-1A Analyzer is its own plan. Your free questions work on both.
Can I cancel?Yes, any time, from your account page. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
