How to Get an EB-1 Visa in 2026: A Real Case Study & PR Strategy

​A real EB-1 case and the PR strategy behind it - with Diana Kurbanova and Niso Nigmatullina

​Description:

​This summer, Diana Kurbanova was granted EB-1 status — extraordinary ability recognition from the U.S. government.

After sharing her story, she received over 100 messages asking the same question: "How did you do it?"

Instead of answering one by one, we're bringing the full story to a webinar.

​What we'll cover:

• ​How Diana built her business — from a franchising company in Uzbekistan to entering the U.S. market

• ​The challenges she faced along the way, and how she worked through them

• ​How her EB-1 case was built — where to start and what strategy the petition was based on

• ​Why judging competitions strengthens a profile

• ​Which publications actually move the needle for a case — and which are just a line on a list

• ​How speaking at international platforms (like the IFA Annual Convention) becomes part of the evidence

​Separately, Niso will walk through PR strategy for talent visas: how to build it correctly, and why it needs to start at least a year before filing.

​Speakers:

​Diana Kurbanova — CEO of UzFranchise, Founder of Central Asian Franchising & Business Expo, EB-1 visa holder

​Niso Nigmatullina — a PR expert working with entrepreneurs to build their public profile through media placements, judging positions, and strategic visibility.

Her work has placed clients as judges at competitions including SXSW, DigiDay, and the Lovie Awards, and secured coverage in Forbes, Business Insider, and Entrepreneur.
