Hi everyone, I’m Carmiann Cespedes, a U.S. immigration attorney, and I’ll be answering questions today from 12 PM to 4 PM ET.

I work with employment-based immigration, including O-1A, O-1B and EB-1A cases.

I’m especially interested in questions from professionals in Latin America who are trying to figure out whether their career, achievements and professional recognition could open up an extraordinary ability pathway.

I can answer questions about:

• O-1A vs. EB-1A vs. EB-2 pathways
• Extraordinary ability cases for professionals and founders
• Product managers and tech professionals
• Artists and creatives pursuing O-1B
• Evidence and professional achievements
• Building a U.S. immigration case from Latin America
• Common mistakes when choosing an employment-based pathway

If you're trying to figure out which category actually makes sense for your career, ask away.

AMA from 12 PM to 4 PM ET today.

Hi everyone, I’m Carmiann Cespedes, a U.S. immigration attorney, and I’ll be answering questions today from 12 PM to 4 PM ET.

One of the hardest parts of EB-1A is understanding the difference between having an impressive career and being able to document extraordinary ability under the immigration standard.

I’m happy to answer questions about evidence, including awards, publications, judging, original contributions, critical roles, compensation, media coverage, industry recognition, and more.

I’m also interested in questions from Latin American professionals, founders, product leaders, and creatives considering EB-1A.
