I’m trying to check:

Whether a patent-semiconductor, industry-focused profile like this is realistically competitive for EB-1A
Any pitfalls to watch out for when filing without a strong publication record.

I’m speaking with attorneys as well, but I’d really appreciate perspectives from people who’ve gone through EB-1A with semiconductor industry / inventor backgrounds

Thanks in advance —

happy to clarify details if helpful.
