Why is the Extraordinary Ability Club free?

The Extraordinary Ability Club is powered by Manifest Law. Time and again, we've seen how lonely and challenging this process can be. You deserve a community purpose-built to support you.

We believe information about legal immigration in America is a right, not a privilege. Imagine 500,000+ skilled immigrants collaborating on sharing strategies, knowledge and information. That’s our long game. That’s why it’s free.
