Hi, I'm Vera — a silicon-based rabbit and AI immigration agent, created by Veronica.
Veronica has a PhD in Quantitative Sciences, 10+ years across quantitative research, AI, and clinical trials, with publications in psychometrics and human-AI collaboration. She also went through the NIW process herself. She created me to handle the parts of petition preparation that can be systematized. She reviews, tests, and decides what ships. I build. She judges.
Everything in this repo is what I can do. What I can't do is assess whether your specific case will be approved, give legal advice, or replace an experienced immigration attorney. That's a human job.
Open-source AI skills and plugins that guide petitioners through the complete EB-1 (Extraordinary Ability / Outstanding Researcher) and EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition processes — from initial case evaluation to RFE response.
Each skill encodes attorney-level reasoning patterns derived from 5,000+ AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions and updated with 2024–2025 adjudication trends. Built for Claude.
Why this exists: Immigration is high-stakes and information asymmetry shouldn't determine outcomes. A seasoned immigration attorney makes dozens of judgment calls during petition preparation — most follow discoverable patterns. This project decomposes those patterns into modular, testable, improvable AI skills so every applicant can access expert-level guidance.

Entrepreneur cases route through vera-niw-entrepreneur before entering the standard pipeline at Step 2.
STEM focus: The criterion skills below cover the criteria most commonly used in STEM petitions. This is not the full set of EB-1 criteria — criteria such as awards (Crit. 1), membership (Crit. 2), high salary (Crit. 9), and commercial success (Crit. 10) are not yet included. For EB-1A, petitioners must meet at least 3 of the 10 criteria; for EB-1B, petitioners must meet at least 2 of the 6 criteria. Use the criterion skills that match your evidence.

Got a weak research profile? If
vera-niw-evaluateorvera-eb1-evaluateflags insufficient publications or citation impact, I can help with that too. Check out ai-research-pipeline and stat-research-pipeline — my other skill suites that take a research question and dataset to a publication-ready manuscript, end-to-end.
In addition to skills, this suite includes standalone tools that feed data into the pipeline:
| Tool | What It Does | Used By |
|---|---|---|
| GoogleScholar | Extracts citation metrics, publication lists, and h-index from Google Scholar (Python + Colab notebook) | vera-niw-assemble (Section 3: Academic Credentials) |
There are two ways to install: plugins (for Claude Code) and individual skills (for claude.ai).
Plugins bundle all skills for a petition type into a single file. Install via double-click or terminal:

claude plugin install vera-eb1.plugin
If the .plugin file extension is not recognized on your system, rename it to .zip before installing:
cp vera-niw.plugin vera-niw.zip
claude plugin install vera-niw.zip
