Burlington Consult is an immigration strategy and advisory firm led by a Harvard Law School-trained strategist who filed and obtained approval on his own EB-1A petition — then built a team around doing it for others. The firm works with professionals across technology, law, medicine, finance, the arts, and public policy.
Professionals from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and across the continent frequently have records that are world-class by any objective measure — but are not automatically legible in the format USCIS expects.
A Partner-level role at a Tier 1 law firm, a senior position at an NSE-listed institution, a decade at a Big Four firm in Lagos — these carry the same weight as the equivalent in London or New York. Burlington Consult's job is to make that equivalence unmistakably clear to a USCIS adjudicator.
USCIS doesn't deny weak candidates. It denies weak arguments.
Whether your record is built on publications or creative work, corporate leadership or independent practice, traditional credentials or unconventional ones — the approach is the same: identify the strongest field of endeavour, build the evidentiary architecture, and file a case that doesn't come back.
Every engagement follows the same rigorous process — adapted to your specific record.
We review your full professional record against all EB-1A criteria and the NIW Dhanasar framework. Within 48 hours, you know where you stand and what the strongest pathway looks like.
We identify the strongest field of endeavour, map each criterion to your specific evidence, draft up to 12 recommendation letters from scratch, and build the full documentary record to USCIS standards.
Both petitions undergo independent legal review, then filed to USCIS. Premium processing provides a decision within 15 business days. 12-month RFE retainer included at no additional charge.
Credit ladder: $250 assessment → credited toward $1,000 consultation → credited toward ~$20,000 engagement. Every fee rolls forward.
