Question 1

Are you a law firm?

Accepted Answer

No. GloryAbroad is an academic coaching organization, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. For legal counsel, please consult a licensed U.S. immigration attorney.

Question 2

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

We serve primarily Chinese-American PhD and postdoctoral researchers, delivering services remotely via WeChat, email, and video calls.

Question 3

How are you different from an immigration attorney?

Accepted Answer

Attorneys provide legal advice and I-140 petition preparation. We provide materials coaching and academic resource matching. Many clients use both — they complement each other.

Question 4

Do you write the recommendation letters?

Accepted Answer

We provide reference drafts for reviewers, but each letter is independently reviewed, edited, and signed by the reviewer, fully reflecting their own professional judgment.

Question 5

What are the reviewers' backgrounds?

Accepted Answer

Our reviewer network includes active assistant professors, associate professors, and professors at North American universities, covering CS, EE, biology, medicine, materials science, and more.

Question 6

How long does delivery take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 14-21 days for the final signed PDF. Rush processing may be available for an additional fee.

Question 7

Can you help me fill out Form I-140?

Accepted Answer

No. Form I-140 is a legal immigration document — completing and explaining it requires a licensed attorney. We only provide non-legal materials coaching.

Question 8

Can you guarantee my application will be approved?

Accepted Answer

No. We make no guarantees about application outcomes. USCIS adjudication is entirely independent.

Question 9

What is a "reference draft for learning"?

Accepted Answer

It's an example draft we provide to help you understand how to present your research contributions. You use it as a learning reference and create your own final materials that authentically reflect your experience.
