I've been impressed by Priya’s approach to EB1A cases - especially how hands-on she is in helping clients secure strong reference letters, which is honestly the hardest part of an extraordinary-ability petition. Anyone navigating the EB1A process would be in good hands with the Alagiri team!

I had an excellent experience working with Alagiri Law Firm on my EB-1A petition. From the initial evaluation through a detailed RFE response and final approval, the team demonstrated deep expertise, strategic thinking, and exceptional attention to detail. Priya, and the entire team were highly responsive, and transparent at every stage. They took the time to understand my professional background in depth and helped present my work in a clear, compelling, and well-documented manner. Their guidance during the RFE phase was especially reassuring and thorough, and the final outcome speaks for itself. If you are looking for a law firm that combines immigration expertise with professionalism, clarity, and genuine client care, I would highly recommend Alagiri Law Firm. ------------------------ Update - October 2026: Green Card Approved! I’m delighted to share that I received my Green Card in October 2026! 🎉 This marks the successful completion of a long and important immigration journey for me and my family. A heartfelt thank you to Priya and the entire Alagiri Law Firm team for their wonderful service, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout this process. Your expertise, attention to detail, and guidance at every stage - from the EB-1A petition and RFE response through the final Green Card approval made a significant difference.

I had amazing experience working with Priya and her law team on my EB1A immigration case. They helped me navigate the super challenging process, and not just helped me understand my legal obligations, but how to keep my application grounded. I think it was the single biggest factor behind a successful petition and approval. Priya reviewed my entire case and made sure that the application is factually correct and drafted accurately. Thanks Priya for helping us - it means a lot ❤️🙏

I had a wonderful experience with Alagiri Law firm for my eb1a application process. Priya Alagiri is excellent and explained the entire process very well. They also prepared a very strong case and helped me with all questions and concerns in all steps. I loved the final document they prepared making sure everything is explained with corresponding supporting addendums and exhibits. I definitely recommend them for EB1A Green Card application.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Priya Alagiri and her team on both my NIW (EB-2) petition and subsequent I-485 process, and I could not be more impressed by the precision, speed, and professionalism with which my case was handled. From the outset, the process was remarkably well organized and efficient, supported by an excellent automated system and thorough case review practices. Because I work for a startup where the PERM process can be significantly delayed, I was in a difficult situation. Attorney Alagiri’s expertise and strategic approach made all the difference—she built an exceptionally strong NIW case that led to my approval in under four months, sparing me years of uncertainty and waiting. I am equally grateful for the outstanding support her team provided during the I-485 stage. Receiving my green card so quickly was an enormous relief, especially at a time when the process feels increasingly difficult and uncertain for many applicants. Their attentiveness, responsiveness, and professionalism throughout this stage were truly exceptional. At every step, my case was managed with meticulous care and clear communication. The combination of rigorous legal insight, operational excellence, and deep understanding of the nuances of immigration law sets Alagiri Law apart. I am deeply grateful for their work and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a highly competent, attentive, and trustworthy immigration attorney.

I can’t thank Priya and the team at The Alagiri Immigration Law Firm enough for their incredible support throughout my asylum process. Priya was extremely supportive and reassuring during all these years all the way until the interview, and her team was meticulous in handling and following up on all my documents until my asylum was approved. Their professionalism, care, and dedication truly made a difference. I highly recommend them to anyone navigating the asylum process.

I had my EB1A approval with the help of Alagiri Law Firm. I am pleased with the outcome of my case, and I have recommended Alagiri Law Firm to my friends who need NIW/EB1A support. Pros: - Unlike other attorneys who just copy and paste your support documents into a template, they actually read and think about it, and they will point out the places where they don't understand and need you to clarify. - The petition letter they wrote is well-structured and easy to understand, compared to others I found on the Internet. Cons: - It takes more time to complete the case than other assembly-line firms. For me, it takes five months to file the case. - The communication tool and response time weren't great before. They were using an internal web tool to communicate, and the UI was laggy and buggy. The response time could sometimes take days to reply. However, it improved significantly after my application was filed, as they switched to a new method of communication. - No approximate timeline provided in advance. For instance, providing an approximate timeline, such as filing the case in a certain month if everything goes smoothly, is a way to reduce the uncertainty.

We highly recommend the Alagiri Team to anyone seeking professional, thorough support with immigration matters. We’re grateful to the entire Alagiri Team for their unwavering support throughout our immigration process. Their legal expertise and clear guidance were instrumental every step of the way. Attorney Priya’s expert advice ultimately made all the difference. Special shout-out and big thanks to April and Basit. April’s dedication to following up on our behalf and keeping us well-informed, even as expected timelines extended, is deeply appreciated. Basit’s efforts in staying with us throughout the process (which can be overwhelming!) are also greatly valued. A small suggestion to the team would be to provide proactive updates, during delays as this can help ease the stress and uncertainty that often accompany immigration processes. We’re thankful to the entire team for walking this journey with us, and we are confident that others will benefit from their legal advice and expertise just as we did.

I had the pleasure of working with Priya Alagiri during my EB1A process, I cannot praise her enough for her exceptional support and expertise. From the very beginning, Priya demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB1A requirements and took the time ask insightful questions, ensuring that she filtered out the most valuable information from all my achievements. Her ability to identify and present only the most relevant accomplishments significantly strengthened my case. The entire team at The Alagiri Immigration Law Firm was outstanding. Basit communicated clearly and consistently followed up when needed, ensuring that I was always informed and on track. Rachana's thorough review of my case was invaluable; she meticulously checked every detail and requested additional information or supporting documents when necessary, leaving no stone unturned. Overall, it was a pleasure working with Priya and her team. Their professionalism, dedication, and expertise made the entire EB1A process smooth and successful. I highly recommend Priya Alagiri for anyone seeking assistance with EB1A cases.

Exceptional EB1A Expertise – Highly Recommend After years in the U.S. immigration system and being told I didn’t qualify for EB1A (no publications, patents, or press), I found Priya at Alagiri Law Firm—and everything changed. Unlike other attorneys, Priya focused on my real-world impact. Together, we built a strong case, and even after an initial denial, she challenged it with incredible strategy and persistence. Her response to a tough RFE led to my EB1A approval in late 2024—and today, I received my green card. Priya is the real deal. If you’ve been told you’re not “extraordinary” enough, don’t give up. Talk to Priya. She helped make a life-changing dream come true.

I had a fantastic experience working with Priya and her team on my EB1A immigration case. The process began with a 30-minute consultation with Priya, during which she carefully reviewed my background and determined that I was a strong candidate for the EB1A visa. Once we confirmed my eligibility, we began working together on the petition. Her team, particularly Basit and Rachana, were incredibly supportive and responsive throughout the entire process. Basit did an excellent job outlining the information they needed from me to build a strong case, even addressing complex and detailed questions with clarity. A special shout-out to Rachana as well—her communication was outstanding, and she consistently responded to my inquiries within 24 hours. In addition, the front desk staff was always welcoming and promptly followed up on my inquiries with the team. The team was highly organized and consistently supportive throughout the process. Priya and her team are dedicated professionals who truly care about their clients. We are deeply grateful for their hard work and guidance in navigating this complex process.

I highly recommend Allagiri Law Firm to anyone seeking expert immigration assistance. My EB1 visa was recently approved, and I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support I received from Priya, Basit, Rachana and the entire team. Their countless hours, dedication, and attention to detail made a world of difference, especially during the long and stressful waiting period for the Green card backlogs. What truly sets this team apart is their brilliance and the extra effort they put into every case. They went above and beyond to understand my unique situation, provided clear guidance at every step, and always made themselves available to answer my questions. Their professionalism and genuine care made me feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. Thanks to Allagiri Law Firm, my dream of living and working in the USA has become a reality. If you are looking for a law firm that combines legal excellence with compassion and commitment, look no further. I am deeply grateful to Priya, Basit, and Rachana for helping me achieve this life-changing milestone.

No Publications. No Patents. No Citations.

You can still qualify for the EB-1A visa.
Your career doesn’t have to look like a professor’s to qualify for extraordinary ability. We help engineers identify the accomplishments that matter and develop a strategy to present their significance to USCIS.
We are Bay Area immigration lawyers helping engineers pursue EB-1A green cards nationwide.
 

With 15+ years of immigration experience, The Alagiri Immigration Law Firm provides strategic, customized representation for professionals whose accomplishments require more than a checklist.

EB-1A. Engineers. Extraordinary careers deserve extraordinary representation.

FEATURED IN

Why Alagiri Law

We know how to build an EB-1A case around an engineer’s real-world impact.

The strongest engineering careers don’t always come with the credentials people associate with EB-1A. You may not have dozens of publications, hundreds of citations, or a long list of patents. Your achievements may be found in the systems you built, the products you shaped, the technical problems you solved, the teams you led, and the impact your work created.

That’s where we start.

At Alagiri Law, we dig into your career to identify the accomplishments that matter, develop the evidence behind them, and build a clear case for why your work demonstrates extraordinary ability.

We don’t force engineers into an academic template. We build the case around the career you actually have.

Real Engineers. Extraordinary Careers.

EB-1A cases built around real-world impact, not a checklist of patents and publications.
 
Explore how the team approaches extraordinary technical achievements and client success stories.

Experience That Matters

✓ 15+ Years of Experience

✓ 1000+ Applications Filed

✓ 80+ Countries Served

WHY ENGINEERS CHOOSE US

We understand engineering careers. We know extraordinary technical impact isn’t always measured in publications, patents, or citations.

Strategy before criteria. We look at your career as a whole, identify the strongest evidence, and build the case around the accomplishments that matter most.

Customized representation. Every EB-1A case is unique, not simply assembled from a template.

We dig into the details. We take the time to understand what you actually built, solved, led, and changed, so we can explain why it matters.

What truly sets this team apart is their brilliance and the extra effort they put into every case. They went above and beyond to understand my unique situation, provided clear guidance at every step, and always made themselves available to answer my questions. Their professionalism and genuine care made me feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. Thanks to Allagiri Law Firm, my dream of living and working in the USA has become a reality. If you are looking for a law firm that combines legal excellence with compassion and commitment, look no further.

I had an excellent experience working with Alagiri Law Firm on my EB-1A petition. From the initial evaluation through a detailed RFE response and final approval, the team demonstrated deep expertise, strategic thinking, and exceptional attention to detail. Priya, and the entire team were highly responsive, and transparent at every stage. They took the time to understand my professional background in depth and helped present my work in a clear, compelling, and well-documented manner. Their guidance during the RFE phase was especially reassuring and thorough, and the final outcome speaks for itself. If you are looking for a law firm that combines immigration expertise with professionalism, clarity, and genuine client care, I would highly recommend Alagiri Law Firm. ------------------------ Update - October 2026: Green Card Approved! I’m delighted to share that I received my Green Card in October 2026! 🎉 This marks the successful completion of a long and important immigration journey for me and my family. A heartfelt thank you to Priya and the entire Alagiri Law Firm team for their wonderful service, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout this process.

I had amazing experience working with Priya and her law team on my EB1A immigration case. They helped me navigate the super challenging process, and not just helped me understand my legal obligations, but how to keep my application grounded. I think it was the single biggest factor behind a successful petition and approval. Priya reviewed my entire case and made sure that the application is factually correct and drafted accurately. Thanks Priya for helping us - it means a lot ❤️🙏

They also prepared a very strong case and helped me with all questions and concerns in all steps. I loved the final document they prepared making sure everything is explained with corresponding supporting addendums and exhibits. I definitely recommend them for EB1A Green Card application.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Priya Alagiri and her team on both my NIW (EB-2) petition and subsequent I-485 process, and I could not be more impressed by the precision, speed, and professionalism with which my case was handled. From the outset, the process was remarkably well organized and efficient, supported by an excellent automated system and thorough case review practices. Because I work for a startup where the PERM process can be significantly delayed, I was in a difficult situation. Attorney Alagiri’s expertise and strategic approach made all the difference—she built an exceptionally strong NIW case that led to my approval in under four months, sparing me years of uncertainty and waiting. I am equally grateful for the outstanding support her team provided during the I-485 stage. Receiving my green card so quickly was an enormous relief, especially at a time when the process feels increasingly difficult and uncertain for many applicants. Their attentiveness, responsiveness, and professionalism throughout this stage were truly exceptional. At every step, my case was managed with meticulous care and clear communication. The combination of rigorous legal insight, operational excellence, and deep understanding of the nuances of immigration law sets Alagiri Law apart. I am deeply grateful for their work and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a highly competent, attentive, and trustworthy immigration attorney.

Their professionalism, care, and dedication truly made a difference. I highly recommend them to anyone navigating the asylum process.

After one denial, she was able to pull my petition through the finish line with successful outcome. Highly recommended. Update: Priya and team did a great job again with my end-to-end adjustment of status documentation and filing.

I had my EB1A approval with the help of Alagiri Law Firm. I am pleased with the outcome of my case, and I have recommended Alagiri Law Firm to my friends who need NIW/EB1A support. Pros: - Unlike other attorneys who just copy and paste your support documents into a template, they actually read and think about it, and they will point out the places where they don't understand and need you to clarify. - The petition letter they wrote is well-structured and easy to understand, compared to others I found on the Internet. Cons: - It takes more time to complete the case than other assembly-line firms. For me, it takes five months to file the case. - The communication tool and response time weren't great before. They were using an internal web tool to communicate, and the UI was laggy and buggy. The response time could sometimes take days to reply. However, it improved significantly after my application was filed, as they switched to a new method of communication. - No approximate timeline provided in advance. For instance, providing an approximate timeline, such as filing the case in a certain month if everything goes smoothly, is a way to reduce the uncertainty.

We highly recommend the Alagiri Team to anyone seeking professional, thorough support with immigration matters. We’re grateful to the entire Alagiri Team for their unwavering support throughout our immigration process. Their legal expertise and clear guidance were instrumental every step of the way. Attorney Priya’s expert advice ultimately made all the difference. Special shout-out and big thanks to April and Basit. April’s dedication to following up on our behalf and keeping us well-informed, even as expected timelines extended, is deeply appreciated. Basit’s efforts in staying with us throughout the process (which can be overwhelming!) are also greatly valued. A small suggestion to the team would be to provide proactive updates, during delays as this can help ease the stress and uncertainty that often accompany immigration processes. We’re thankful to the entire team for walking this journey with us, and we are confident that others will benefit from their legal advice and expertise just as we did.

I had the pleasure of working with Priya Alagiri during my EB1A process, I cannot praise her enough for her exceptional support and expertise. From the very beginning, Priya demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB1A requirements and took the time ask insightful questions, ensuring that she filtered out the most valuable information from all my achievements. Her ability to identify and present only the most relevant accomplishments significantly strengthened my case. The entire team at The Alagiri Immigration Law Firm was outstanding. Basit communicated clearly and consistently followed up when needed, ensuring that I was always informed and on track. Rachana's thorough review of my case was invaluable; she meticulously checked every detail and requested additional information or supporting documents when necessary, leaving no stone unturned. Overall, it was a pleasure working with Priya and her team. Their professionalism, dedication, and expertise made the entire EB1A process smooth and successful. I highly recommend Priya Alagiri for anyone seeking assistance with EB1A cases.

Exceptional EB1A Expertise – Highly Recommend After years in the U.S. immigration system and being told I didn’t qualify for EB1A (no publications, patents, or press), I found Priya at Alagiri Law Firm—and everything changed. Unlike other attorneys, Priya focused on my real-world impact. Together, we built a strong case, and even after an initial denial, she challenged it with incredible strategy and persistence. Her response to a tough RFE led to my EB1A approval in late 2024—and today, I received my green card. Priya is the real deal. If you’ve been told you’re not “extraordinary” enough, don’t give up. Talk to Priya. She helped make a life-changing dream come true.

I had a fantastic experience working with Priya and her team on my EB1A immigration case. The process began with a 30-minute consultation with Priya, during which she carefully reviewed my background and determined that I was a strong candidate for the EB1A visa. Once we confirmed my eligibility, we began working together on the petition. Her team, particularly Basit and Rachana, were incredibly supportive and responsive throughout the entire process. Basit did an excellent job outlining the information they needed from me to build a strong case, even addressing complex and detailed questions with clarity. A special shout-out to Rachana as well—her communication was outstanding, and she consistently responded to my inquiries within 24 hours. In addition, the front desk staff was always welcoming and promptly followed up on my inquiries with the team. The team was highly organized and consistently supportive throughout the process. Priya and her team are dedicated professionals who truly care about their clients. We are deeply grateful for their hard work and guidance in navigating this complex process.
