How many attorneys sign my petition letter?

In the EB-1, the petition letter is the document that explains why you meet the criteria for the category. It is typically signed by the lead attorney responsible for preparing and presenting your case before immigration authorities.

In certain situations, more than one professional may sign, particularly when other specialists collaborate in analyzing your case. However, this is not the norm, and it is most common for the attorney leading the process to be the one who signs.

There is no single formula: the approach can vary depending on the complexity and specifics of your case.

For this reason, maintain clear communication with whoever is managing your process and, if you have any questions about the signature or next steps, confirm the details with the responsible professional and check the guidance available on USCIS.
