Once reserved exclusively for the firm’s own EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petition clients, the New York firm’s profile-building practice is now available to skilled professionals globally through its platform, Advance My Profile and now supports multiple talent-visa routes, as demand grows for permanent residency without an employer sponsor.
ALBANY, NEW YORK – July 23, 2026 – Immignis LLC, a New York-based immigration firm specializing in EB-1A and EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) services, announced a two-fold expansion of its profile-building practice. Through its platform, Advance My Profile, services once reserved for the firm’s own petition clients are now available to skilled professionals worldwide – and the practice, which until 2025 supported only the U.S. EB-1A and EB-2 NIW categories, now also serves professionals pursuing the United Kingdom’s Global Talent visa and Australia’s National Innovation visa.
The expansion responds to a sustained rise in demand for immigration routes that require no employer sponsorship and impose no age restrictions. Interest in the U.S. self-petition categories has grown sharply among professionals across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Latin America – and because the UK and Australian talent routes rest on strikingly similar evidence standards, a single well-built professional profile can now support several options at once. That overlap is what allows the firm to serve profile-building clients across more countries and pathways than ever before.
From AscendaNova Global to Immignis: Founded in 2018 as AscendaNova Global, the company built its early practice on immigration solutions for individuals of exceptional ability. In 2024, the firm rebranded as Immignis, reflecting a broader scope of employment-based immigration services and a deeper specialization in EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petitions for talented professionals and their families pursuing U.S. permanent residency without an employer-sponsored job offer.
The rebrand also marked a turning point for the firm’s profile-building work. Until 2024, that practice was an internal advantage available only to existing petition clients; in 2024 it was introduced as a standalone service, and in 2025 the firm established Advance My Profile as a dedicated platform serving professionals pursuing the U.S. categories. Today’s announcement completes that evolution: the platform established in 2025 for U.S.-focused professionals now expands into a globally available, multi-route platform in its own right.
Profile Building for Self-Petition Success: Unlike most work visas, the EB-1A, EB-2 NIW and their UK and Australian counterparts do not require an employer to sponsor the applicant. That flexibility is also what makes them demanding: without a company vouching for the role, the burden falls entirely on the applicant to prove, through independent and verifiable evidence, that their work meets the standard for extraordinary ability or national importance. Petitions built on a thin or unverifiable record of achievement are among the most common reasons USCIS issues a Request for Evidence or a denial in these categories.
That is the gap Advance My Profile is built to close and the specialization behind the firm’s position as a dedicated provider of immigration-specific profile building. The platform helps skilled professionals develop the verifiable record adjudicators look for such as published research, media recognition, judging and peer-review roles, selective professional memberships, and original contributions to their field. Rather than treating profile building as a one-time step before filing, it works with clients over time to develop a body of work that independently demonstrates extraordinary ability or national importance – strengthening the case whichever route, in whichever country, a client ultimately pursues.
EB-1A and EB-2 NIW Immigration Services
Alongside the platform, Immignis continues to serve individuals of extraordinary ability across the arts, sciences, business, education and athletics, as well as advanced-degree professionals whose work aligns with U.S. national interests under USCIS eligibility criteria. The firm’s services include:
- EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petition strategy and evidence building
- Post-approval support for consular processing and green card issuance
- Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) filing guidance
- Employment Authorization (Form I-765) and Advance Parole (Form I-131) support
A Client-Centric Approach
“Taking Advance My Profile global and beyond a single country’s visas is the natural next step in what the rebrand began,” said Amelia Carter, Senior Legal Consultant at Immignis LLC. “For years, structured profile building was an advantage only our own petition clients had. Skilled professionals everywhere now face the same evidentiary bar, whether they are aiming at the EB-1A, the NIW, the UK Global Talent visa or Australia’s National Innovation visa and they deserve the same head start. Each petition is built around an individual’s real body of work; our job is to help them build that work, and then present it in a way that meets the adjudicator’s standards. Advance My Profile lets that begin years before a petition is ever filed.”
