Expert Opinion Letter For Visa Immigration Applications - Overview
ICS specializes in providing an expert opinion letter, wherein an evaluation or an assessment is performed by an independent industry expert or university professor to discuss the eligibility of the applicant to pursue a visa in the United States. This letter contains a statement of evidentiary support for the applicant that is well-documented, presenting sufficient evidence and information to help towards establishing the specific criteria applicable to the beneficiary.
Considering the importance of the letters, it is worth the time and effort for an applicant to seek expert opinion letters who could independently qualify for a visa and discuss the content of the expert opinion letter with the writers to increase the chance of approval. The letter must contain an explanation of the writer’s accomplishments, how they know you, and clearly delineate that you are nationally or internationally recognized and have made significant contributions to your field.
