Planning for Commercial Success to Fulfil EB-1A Requirements
Whether you're a filmmaker, startup founder, app developer, content creator, or artist, if you've created something that's sold, streamed, or scaled, you may already qualify under EB1's “commercial success” criterion. But here's the catch: success doesn’t count unless it's well-documented and presented in a way that clearly demonstrates its reach and value.
That’s where our Planning for Commercial Success service comes in. We help you connect the dots between what you’ve built and what immigration officers recognize as measurable and credible commercial impact. The commercial success planning often works hand in hand with remuneration assessment.
We Guide You From Revenue to Recognition
The EB1 category doesn’t define “commercial success” narrowly. It could be box office numbers, music streaming metrics, product sales, licensing revenue, app downloads, paid exhibitions, or even online course revenue. Our job is to help you identify what counts, collect what’s missing, and tell the full story through documentation and data.
We also help you plan ahead, so if you're not quite there yet, we show you what steps you can take to position your creative or entrepreneurial project for better visibility and proof. Sometimes, a little foresight is all you need to build eligibility faster and more effectively.
Authentic Substance to Indicate Commercial Success to USCIS
We don’t chase vanity metrics or fluff. What matters is solid evidence: payment statements, contracts, royalty breakdowns, user analytics, independent reviews, media features, investor backing, or platform analytics. We guide you through how to gather these, interpret them properly, and package them in a petition-friendly format. In essence, expect us to build your commercial success story on a solid and robust foothold.

Yes. If your work has traction, visibility, or market potential (like user growth, early sales, or investor interest), that momentum can still support your claim. The roadmap includes strategies to highlight future commercial value where direct revenue is limited.
