Ramprasad Ohnu –
Employment Based: First Preference Recipient: EB1A

I am an experienced Enterprise Hybrid Data Consultant with over twelve years of experience. Since 2014, I have been working on Big data platforms and have gained extensive knowledge in using Cloudera and Hortonworks, which I have been using for eight years. In 2017, I came to the United States to work on a non-immigrant visa, specifically the H1B visa. Although my company sponsored my initial immigrant EB2 visa, unfortunately, it typically takes 5 decades for Indians to obtain a Green card through the EB2 visa, unless there is a significant change in US immigration legislation. Towards the end of 2022, I explored the possibility of obtaining an EB1A visa and had discussions about it for a day with my family friend. At the beginning of 2023, I initiated the EB1A process and successfully received my EB1A visa in November 2023. I would like to share my 10-month journey here.

I am not an Immigration Attorney

But I am an EB1A buddy

My EB1A preparation timeline: Jan 2023 - Nov 2023

I am an EB1A buddy, much like seeking guidance from an IT professional who has navigated a similar path, I offer assistance for aspiring individuals exploring the EB1A process. Leveraging my personal research and experiences, I provide my advice on developing a professional profile for EB1A. It's essential to collaborate with a licensed immigration attorney once you embark on strengthening your profile.

How did I strengthen my profile?

I strengthened my profile by collecting all possible evidence to prove my ExtraO1 i.e. ExtraOrdinary EB1A Eligibility. In this pursuit of Extraordinary Ability EB1A eligibility, I diligently amassed a comprehensive body of evidence, guided by the principle of "preponderance of the evidence." Much like in a civil case where one party bears the burden of proving essential elements, I meticulously curated compelling documentation to demonstrate the merit of my claim. The preponderance of evidence standard necessitates presenting the more convincing evidence, indicating that something is more likely true than not.

This legal standard, akin to the greater weight of evidence, underscores the need for quality and persuasiveness rather than a sheer quantity of witnesses or documents. Analogous to a courtroom scenario, where the decision hinges on whether each element of the claim is more likely true than not, my approach to EB1A eligibility centered on creating a robust case. The process involved careful consideration of all relevant testimonies, regardless of the source, scrutiny of exhibits, and adherence to stipulations. By adhering to the preponderance of evidence standard, I endeavored to construct a compelling case that convincingly establishes my Extraordinary Ability EB1A eligibility.

Creating a robust EB-1A profile using the preponderance of evidence through mind mapping can greatly enhance your chances of success. Mind mapping is a powerful tool that allows you to visually organize your thoughts and ideas, making it easier to present a compelling case for your EB-1A application. By mapping out your achievements, awards, publications, and other evidence, you can clearly see the strength and depth of your profile. This method helps you identify any gaps or weaknesses in your evidence and allows you to address them effectively. Through a well-structured mind map, you can showcase the unique contributions you have made in your field and demonstrate your extraordinary abilities. With a carefully constructed EB-1A profile, supported by a preponderance of evidence, you can increase your chances of obtaining the desired visa.
