EB-1A and EB-2 NIW green cards

Build your green card case, criterion by criterion.

Futupath is an AI assistant for researchers, founders and professionals preparing their own EB-1A or EB-2 NIW petition. It reads your documents, maps each one to the criterion it proves, finds the gaps, and gives you an organized case file you can submit yourself or share with the attorney of your choice.

Two self-petition paths

No employer sponsor needed. You file for yourself.

Both green cards let you petition on your own with Form I-140. Futupath tells you which one fits your record today, and what would make the other one possible.

Form I-140 · EB-1A

Extraordinary ability

The test: Evidence for 3 of 10 criteria (or one major international award), plus sustained national or international acclaim.
Often fits: Senior researchers, award-winning founders, artists and athletes with press and recognition.
Futupath helps with: A 10-criteria evidence builder, recommender tracking and a final merits check.

Form I-140 · EB-2 NIW

National interest waiver

The test: An advanced degree or exceptional ability, plus three factors: national importance, well positioned to advance it, and a benefit to waiving the job offer.
Often fits: PhDs, postdocs, engineers and founders whose work serves a clear US interest.
Futupath helps with: Writing your proposed endeavor, mapping proof to each factor, and expert letters.

Our AI vision

An AI that understands your evidence the way an officer reads it

A strong petition is hundreds of pages of proof, organized around a few legal tests. Futupath's AI does the reading, sorting and first drafts, so you spend your time on the evidence only you can get. You stay in charge: you approve every suggestion and decide how and when to file.

Evidence reader Example

What the AI found: An editor's invitation to peer-review a manuscript, dated and signed.
Suggested criterion: EB-1A · Criterion 4 Judging the work of others
Also useful for: NIW · Factor 2 Well positioned to advance the endeavor
To make it stronger: Add proof that you completed the review, such as the journal's thank-you email.

How we build it

You decide. The AI suggests; you accept or change every tag and draft.
Sources, not guesses. Every answer points to the USCIS rule behind it.
No promised odds. We never predict whether a specific case will be approved.
Your case, your choice. File on your own or work with any attorney you choose. We never share your case without your permission.
Your documents stay yours. Encrypted, deletable, and never used to train models without your consent.
