We know every pain point on this journey — that's why we built this
Our team members come from diverse disciplines — computer science, biomedical research, materials science, financial engineering — but we all share one experience: personally navigating the NIW or EB1A application process.
Through that journey, we discovered the biggest pain point isn't writing the petition itself — it's finding qualified independent reviewers and building peer review evidence. Law firms don't handle this, and doing it alone is incredibly difficult.
GloryAbroad was founded to solve exactly this problem. We combine academic networks, tech-industry execution standards, and firsthand application experience to help more researchers clear this hurdle.
