Am I Eligible for the EB-1 Visa?

The EB-1 visa is the "first preference immigration petition." Priority workers receive 28% of the employment-based visas released each year. Those who are eligible are given an excellent opportunity to further their career in the United States and make a difference in the lives of those they encounter.

This visa is reserved for immigrants considered the most distinguished and proficient in their fields. An applicant must belong to one of the three categories below:

  • Extraordinary Ability: These applicants must have national or international acclaim in their field.
  • Outstanding Professors and Researchers: These applicants must have made great contributions to their area of study and earned international recognition.
  • Certain Multinational Manager or Executive: These applicants must have been working for at least one year within the preceding three and are recruited to fill management and executive roles.
