What is an Expert Opinion Letter (EOL) and how can an EOL from ProfVal add value to your visa petition?

An Expert Opinion Letter from ProfVal represents a highly customized evaluation from a distinguished expert regarding whether a position or an individual's credentials meet USCIS visa requirements. 

Expert Opinion Letters from ProfVal are regularly used in initial applications, in response to a Request for Evidence (RFE), or in response to a denial.
