Guidance for Every Research Hub — and Every Country.
Most immigration questions are not generic. If you're already at a US research hub, the institutions and evidentiary patterns there shape your strategy. If you're building your case from abroad, your country of citizenship does. These guides are written for specific places, not general categories.
Already in the US
United States — by research hub
For researchers, scientists, and executives already based at (or targeting) a specific US institution or employer. Each city guide covers the local institutional ecosystem and the evidentiary patterns that work for petitions originating there.

Based abroad
International — by country of citizenship
For researchers, founders, and investors currently living outside the US with no US employer lined up yet. Visa eligibility, treaty status, and consular processing are determined by nationality — so these guides are organized by country, not by city, and cover only the self-petition or no-PERM categories (O-1A, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW) that fit a self-directed applicant.
