EB-1A Applications & Approvals Are Increasing—Why Standing Out Matters More Than Ever

​Leveraging USCIS decision data alongside proprietary, real-time insights from Lawfully’s immigration case-tracking platform, Manifest Law has produced an exclusive report on the current state of EB-1A and EB-2 NIW adjudications — and what the data suggests is coming next.
In this webinar, our attorneys walk through approval and RFE trends from the past year, explain how rising petition volume is changing adjudication patterns, and share what they’re seeing firsthand in day-to-day casework. We’ll break down where petitions are facing the most scrutiny, how standards appear to be shifting, and what that means for candidates planning to file in 2026.
You’ll also hear practical, data-backed guidance on how to approach strategy in a more competitive landscape — including how to think about timing, evidence prioritization, and whether it makes sense to file sooner rather than later.

• ​What the latest 2025 USCIS decision data shows for EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and RFEs

• ​How experienced immigration attorneys interpret these trends — and what signals they’re watching next
