Data is auto-extracted from public AAO decisions. Reference patterns, not legal advice or a prediction about your case.
These are decisions of the USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on EB-1A - anonymized and public. People reach the AAO after a refusal, so the database consists largely of dismissals and remands: it is not approval statistics and cannot be turned into them.
Its value is elsewhere. Each case shows which criteria were claimed, which were struck out and in what words. That lets you learn from concrete reasons rather than general advice: what exactly was wrong with the evidence, which link was missing, what the officer treated as an assertion without support.
It reads best from your own situation: filtering by field and criterion surfaces cases like yours and the objections that recur in them. That is also the list of things worth closing in advance.
Distilled from the public community chats, anonymised; corpus as of June 2026. These are participants' observations, not legal advice and not USCIS statistics.
