I will help you stand out as an architect or AEC professional in your EB1A application so you can get your visa approved
* Note that my coaching focuses primarily on EB-1A strategy for architects and AEC professionals. NIW coaching is offered selectively, when national importance is clear and strongly aligned.
Why EB1A?
Imagine moving beyond the lengthy PERM process and gaining the flexibility to change jobs, grow your career, or pursue independent opportunities, without being tied to a single employer.
Imagine approaching your green card strategy with clarity, confidence, and a realistic timeline, rather than years of uncertainty and waiting.
For many architects and AEC professionals, EB-1A offers that possibility. But standing out in EB-1A is not about checking boxes or copying academic profiles.
Many immigration attorneys primarily work with PhDs who already have extensive publications, citations, or patents. Architects and AEC professionals often bring impact through built work— contributions that are frequently misunderstood or under-positioned in the immigration process
Through my own journey, I developed a strategic framework specifically for architects and AEC professionals, focused on clarifying individual contributions, positioning professional impact, and identifying what truly matters before filing. I now help others apply this approach so their work can be evaluated clearly and fairly.
My advisory work focuses primarily on EB-1A strategy for architects and AEC professionals. NIW guidance is offered selectively, when national importance is clear and strongly aligned.
If you’re unsure whether EB-1A is realistic, or want an honest, strategic assessment before involving an attorney, you’re in the right place.

My Approach
My work focuses on helping architects and AEC professionals approach EB-1A strategically—before filing.
I work upstream of the attorney process, where clarity and positioning have the greatest impact. Rather than rushing into an application, I help you assess feasibility, clarify your core contribution narrative, and identify what needs to be strengthened so your work can be evaluated clearly and fairly.
Whether you are an architect, landscape architect or landscape designer, interior architect or interior designer, urban designer or urban planner, civil or structural or mechanical engineer, sustainability consultant, researcher or an interdisciplinary AEC professional, I’ll show you how individuals from the AEC industry can present yourself in the best way for the EB-1A visa and offer strategies to strengthen your profile. I can provide personalized guidance and support to help you showcase your strengths effectively and maximize your chances of success in obtaining an NIW or EB-1A visa.

Why work with me?
I’ve seen highly qualified architects and AEC professionals work with reputable immigration attorneys, and still receive denials.
Not because of poor lawyering, but because their professional contributions were never positioned clearly from the start.
Most immigration attorneys do not come from the architecture or AEC industry. They are skilled legal experts, but they often rely on clients to explain what is significant about their work, and how it should be evaluated in an industry context.
That gap matters, especially for petition types like EB-1A (and, in select cases, NIW), where outcomes depend heavily on how professional contributions are framed, contextualized, and supported.
Before transitioning into advisory work, I spent nearly a decade working in the architecture industry. I have worked within complex, project-based careers from the inside, and I’ve gone through the immigration process myself.
My role is to bridge that gap before filing.
I help translate complex, project-based careers into clear immigration contributions, identify strategic weaknesses early, and guide profile-building decisions so your work is positioned thoughtfully and evaluated fairly, before it reaches an officer’s desk.
