Watching our EB1A podcast videos can be useful, but only if you watch them with the right mindset. Many people consume hours of content and still feel confused because they watch passively instead of strategically.
Here are practical tips to turn videos into clarity
1. Do Not Watch for Motivation
Our videos are not meant to inspire you. They are meant to inform you.
Watch to understand:
How USCIS thinks
How criteria are interpreted
Why some evidence works and some fails
2. Separate Law From Experience
Many videos mix legal standards with personal success stories.
While watching, always note:
What is law or policy
What is personal strategy
What is opinion
A single successful case does not define a rule.
3. Focus on “Why,” Not “What”
Instead of writing down checklists, note explanations.
Good notes answer:
Why this evidence qualifies
Why this framing worked
Why this criterion was chosen
EB1A is not about collecting items. It is about explaining significance.
4. Watch With Your Profile in Mind
Pause frequently and ask:
Does this apply to my field
Do I already have something similar
What is missing in my case
Do not copy examples blindly. Adapt them.
5. Track Patterns Across Videos
One video is noise. Multiple videos reveal patterns.
Create a simple table:
Criterion discussed
Type of evidence used
Risk mentioned
Common mistakes
Patterns matter more than individual tips.
Our videos are tools, not solutions.
They work best when you watch them actively, take structured notes, and connect them to your own profile.
