Do not assume the whole process is complete. Identify the actual instruction and remaining official steps and decisions.
Name the stage accurately
A favorable step should not be described as a different event that has not occurred.
A nonrefundable processing fee of fifteen thousand United States dollars per person, successful vetting, and then a gift of one million dollars to the U.S. government, or two million where a corporate sponsor gives in respect of an employee. Establish first whether you satisfy the requirements the official process sets, including any underlying immigrant category basis it relies upon, and whether anything in your history — a prior refusal, an overstay, a criminal matter — would be an obstacle under general admissibility law. The official framework describes successful applicants proceeding through the existing employment-based first and second preference classifications, which means the ordinary requirements of those categories, admissibility, and visa availability continue to apply. The first review should identify whether the person may fit the relevant EB-1 or EB-2 theory, what evidence supports that classification, and whether an individual or corporate payment arrangement is actually available under current official instructions. Under the current official framework, a successful applicant receives lawful permanent resident status as an EB-1 or EB-2 visa holder, which authorizes employment generally; state contractor licensing remains a separate requirement.
