While not a VWP country, the Philippines maintains strong security ties with the US. Applicants may see a slight increase in processing times as DHS implements the mandate to access and review expanded criminal history record information.
While EB-1 is typically current for the Philippines, applicants seeking rapid adjudication will face higher filing fees. This change affects the overall cost-benefit analysis of using the premium service for Filipino professionals.
The update provides a more objective roadmap for Filipino athletes to prove their standing in the athletic community. This is particularly helpful for those who may have significant regional acclaim but need to translate that into the specific USCIS EB-1A criteria.
While the Philippines does not currently face EB-1 retrogression, applicants will experience a more demanding adjudication process. The bar for proving 'extraordinary ability' is effectively raised by more thorough vetting of submitted evidence.
While the fee for Form I-140 will increase, Philippine applicants in the EB-1A category typically do not face the same level of retrogression as India or China. The impact is primarily limited to the increased administrative cost of the initial filing.
