Earl Chukwuebuka
"Chris" Ogbodo

Founder & Lead Adviser, Burlington Consult
Harvard Law School LL.M.Self-Petitioned EB-1A HolderAfrica's First Google Policy FellowTechnology Law & AI Policy

Harvard Law School-trained strategist and self-petitioned, first-submission EB-1A holder. Leads every engagement with direct practitioner knowledge of the Kazarian two-step framework, Dhanasar precedent, and current USCIS adjudication standards.

Background

Chris filed and obtained approval on his own EB-1A petition on first submission — without employer sponsorship, without a law firm, and without a single Request for Evidence. That direct experience with the USCIS system is the foundation of Burlington Consult's advisory approach.

Before founding Burlington Consult, Chris worked at the intersection of technology policy, AI governance, and immigration strategy. He was Africa's first Google Policy Fellow, working on internet freedom, digital rights, and tech policy across multiple jurisdictions.

The most consequential decision in any petition isn't the evidence — it's the field of endeavour. Get that wrong and no amount of documentation fixes it.

Approach

Chris leads Burlington Consult's case architecture methodology. Every engagement begins with a full assessment of the petitioner's specific profile, the strongest available field of endeavour, and the most defensible criterion mapping — before any drafting begins.

He maintains a network of U.S.-based immigration attorneys providing ongoing legal alignment and review for every petition Burlington files.
