EB1A approval story for DevOps Engineer approved after RFE using cloud automation and security analytics evidence

The Challenge

  • The case faced heightened scrutiny after USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE).
  • The applicant’s work was deeply embedded within enterprise cloud environments.
  • The focus was on internal automation, compliance, and security analytics rather than public-facing platforms.
  • There were no widely recognized awards, media features, or academic publications to signal prominence at first glance.
  • USCIS raised a straightforward but critical question: how does behind-the-scenes DevOps work meet the EB1A extraordinary ability standard?
  • The RFE required the petition to clearly demonstrate national-level relevance without relying on traditional visibility markers.

EB1A Experts Strategy & Case Positioning

Strategic Framing

Future U.S. Impact

With EB1A approval, the applicant will continue advancing cloud automation, compliance, and security analytics that enable resilient, secure, and scalable digital systems across U.S. organizations.
