Key Details:
- Layoff occurred: Tuesday, 48 hours before filing the EB1A petition.
- EB1A petition was filed with premium processing, already 90% complete.
- Approval received: 15 days after filing, with no Request for Evidence (RFE).
- The engineer had 5 patents and was a key architect for a platform used by over 50,000 enterprise customers.
