Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

I filed an EB-1 application as an extraordinary producer and was granted 3 out of the 10 categories. The application was still denied stating that the evidence in its entirety didn't show that I was one of a small percentage and/or recognized in the field of expertise.

Then I filed an EB-1 application as an extraordinary actress. I just received a RFE, granting 2 categories so far - the same categories which were granted as a producer.

Is there a way to combine these two applications as a totality? I seem to be a "crossover" and have outstanding abilities in different fields of expertise. I would think this combination in its totality is unique.

Any further ideas are very welcome!

Hello:

You cannot 'combine' the applications. EB-1's are difficult, but the category upon which you define your expertise must be narrowly defined.

There are certain ways to fulfil at least 3 requirements for EB-1. You need professional help, and may be there is a way to satisfy 3 requirements if you already satisfied 2.

If you need further help, you can contact my office for further review.

Good Luck.

While you can't merge the two applications into one in terms of responding to the RFE, you may (again) refile with a more carefully drafted application, as it sounds that there may well be a chance of making a sufficient showing for an approval. You'd want to have both the first application and the second application available for a review. If I can be of further assistance please let me know.
