I’ve been researching the EB1A visa category recently and honestly I can’t figure out what actually matters anymore.

Some lawyers make it sound like you need to cure cancer, while others say senior tech professionals qualify all the time.

I’m currently working in cloud infrastructure with around 9 years of experience. I have:

- leadership responsibilities,

- a couple of conference talks,

- mentoring experience,

- decent compensation,

- and involvement in reviewing internal technical projects.

But I don’t have huge media coverage or famous publications.

For people already familiar with EB1A:

what parts of the profile made the biggest difference for you?
