And it is certainly being considered the lowest in the history of this data series. Moreover, the number itself has understandably rattled a lot of people mid-way through their green card journey. The number is verified. It checks out against primary USCIS data and independent attorney reporting. But a viral statistic and an accurate understanding of what exactly is happening are two very different things. Before you give up on EB-1A seeing this number, you need to read this breakdown of what exactly is happening with EB-1A approval at a microscopic level.
Federal Judge Strikes Down DOJ’s Nationwide Voter-Roll Program, Even in States That Cooperated
A federal judge has dismantled the Justice Department’s nationwide effort to collect state voter registration records and screen them for noncitizens. The ruling also bars the department from using data that cooperating states had already handed over.

What Recent AAO Decisions Actually Reveal About EB-1A Approvals and Denials
The Administrative Appeals Office publishes hundreds of non-precedent decisions a year, and these cases could be the most instructive for aspiring candidates and applicants.
