Total: 4–14 monthsReal people — scientists, founders, performers — who obtained green cards with our help.
"I thought 12 publications and two patents were not enough. Apex showed me I was wrong — and structured the case so USCIS approved on the first try."
"We started with O-1, then moved to EB-1A. The whole process took 11 months. I now perform with American Ballet Theatre — a dream come true."
"My startup raised a $2.3M seed round, but I did not know how to use that for immigration. Apex framed the case around national economic impact and approval came quickly."
"23 publications, h-index 14, two NIH grants. Apex showed how to present it the right way. Approved on the first try with no RFE."

We collected the most frequent objections — honest, detailed answers without marketing fluff.
That is the most common myth. About 80% of our clients are everyday professionals who excel at what they do. USCIS does not require worldwide fame — you must show that you are among the very best in your field.
For EB-1A, meeting three of ten criteria is enough: publications, citations, judging work, high compensation, patents, membership in selective associations. For EB-2 NIW, you must show your work has substantial merit and national importance to the United States. We help surface and document achievements you might not even count yet.
We offer flexible payment plans — we split fees across milestones (assessment, strategy, filing, support) so you pay as the case moves forward.
Think about ROI: average compensation for senior specialists in the U.S. is roughly $120–200k per year. A green card is not just a piece of plastic — it multiplies earning power, unlocks better employers, and secures long-term settlement rights. Many clients recover the investment within the first 3–4 months of working in America.
We also stand behind a money-back guarantee: follow our recommendations and if you still receive a denial, we refund your fees in full.
We only take cases with strong merits — that is how we maintain a 94% approval rate. If a denial happens or you receive an RFE (Request for Evidence), we:
We do not disappear after a denial — support covers every stage through a final outcome.
It depends on the category and your situation:
Nationals of Russia, India, and China may face visa bulletin backlogs — we plan early to minimize waiting time.
Absolutely. Our team works in eight languages: Russian, English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, French, and Portuguese.
Consultations, document prep, and day-to-day communication can be in your native language. The petition itself is filed in English — we handle that. English fluency is not a statutory requirement for EB-1A or EB-2 NIW.
No — that is one of the biggest benefits of talent visas.
You can freelance, launch a company, or work for multiple employers — a green card gives you full flexibility in the job market.
To be fair, other firms have talented lawyers too. Here is what sets us apart:
"Apex Talent Law are not just attorneys — they are strategists. They spotted strengths in my profile that I missed and built a compelling case. EB-2 NIW was approved in six months."
"USCIS sent an RFE — I panicked and called Apex. They answered every question USCIS raised, and approval arrived three months later. The money-back guarantee gave real peace of mind."
"They worked with me in Chinese — invaluable. Everything was clear, zero confusion. EB-1A approved, I moved to Seattle and joined Amazon. Thank you to the whole team!"
