  • business3

The field split across our cases from this desk. A desk is not assigned by field - this reflects who filed, not what the desk specializes in.

These counts do NOT show how often this desk approves. The data holds only cases that already drew a request or refusal; petitions approved without questions never appear. You cannot choose or change your desk.

Why this criterion gets refused

The grounds officers actually rely on when they refuse this criterion, and how often it survives.

Among petitions that drew an RFE, NOID or denial and claimed this criterion, the officer accepted it in 24% of cases (47 of 200).

Not an approval rate. The sample is petitions that were challenged: the figure says how often a claimed criterion survived scrutiny, not how often EB-1A petitions succeed.

Based on: 253 coded USCIS I-140 notices (RFE, NOID, denial) · updated Sep 6, 2026 · RFE by criterion

  • The platform accepts user-generated and marketing content. Where anyone can post, the officer has no assurance of editorial selection or independence.

  • The material is not about you. Industry round-ups, event recaps and pieces where you merely comment on someone else’s topic do not qualify: it must be about you and your work.

  • The outlet is not accepted as a professional, trade or major publication. Traffic figures do not help: the officer looks at the outlet’s editorial standing, not visitor counts.

Grounds observed across 150 real USCIS notices, summarized in our own words - not quotations from any individual case.

Common questions

What does officer number 1852 mean?

It is the code of an adjudicating desk inside a USCIS service center, not an employee's name. It cannot be resolved to an individual, and USCIS does not publish that information.

What should I focus on if my request came from this desk?

In our data this desk most often questioned: Published material about you, Original contribution, Scholarly authorship. That is not a prediction, but a hint about which parts of the response deserve more depth. You still answer the text of your own request.
