Join Immigration Merit Lab's new subscriber chat
A private space for us to converse and connect
Today I’m announcing a brand new addition to my publication: Immigration Merit Lab subscriber chat.
Immigration Merit Lab delivers clear, practical insights to help you understand your merit, your achievements, and your professional story with confidence. Each issue breaks down complex ideas into simple guidance anyone can use.
This Lab uses Substack as a third party platform for newsletters, community chat, archives, and paid membership. It allows us to share insights while keeping Meritocrat’s evaluation system private and secure.
Here’s what you’ll receive:
Actionable guidance on EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1A merit building
Insights on USCIS patterns and evidence standards
Advice to help you speak confidently with attorneys
Updates from the Meritocrat platform
You’ll also get access to discussions where people share their immigration journeys and learn from one another.
Glad to have you inside the Lab. Let’s start building your merit with intention.
1. Weekly insights you can apply immediately
You’ll receive short, focused posts on merit evaluation, evidence clarity, career impact, and navigating professional opportunities as an immigrant.
2. Guidance that highlights your strengths and gaps
Every article helps you understand what you’re doing well and what might need improvement — the same principles used inside the Meritocrat platform.
3. Real experiences, opinions, and testimonials
We share perspectives from people who have walked the same path. Their stories add depth and help you learn from real journeys, not just theory.
4. A simple space to grow your professional narrative
Each issue gives you tools and frameworks to present your achievements clearly, avoid misunderstandings, and build confidence in your career story.
5. Optional membership for deeper learning
Members receive expanded posts, detailed breakdowns, and exclusive content focused on merit, impact, resilience, and opportunity-building.
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
