EB-1A RFEs typically challenge whether you meet the required three of ten criteria, or — even when criteria are conceded — whether the overall evidence demonstrates extraordinary ability at the top of your field (the final merits determination). Silmi Law prepares detailed, evidence-driven responses that address USCIS concerns head-on, with additional documentation, stronger expert letters, and a refined petition narrative where needed. Act fast: USCIS typically gives you 87 days to respond, and missing that deadline means automatic denial.
