What Is The EB-1 Visa?
The EB-1 visa is a first-preference employment-based visa that allows highly skilled foreign nationals to gain lawful permanent residence in the United States. This visa is designed for individuals who have demonstrated exceptional expertise in their field and fall into one of three distinct subcategories.
- EB-1A: This category is for individuals with extraordinary abilities in sciences, arts, education, business or athletics. Applicants must provide extensive documentation proving their achievements, such as major awards, publications or media recognition. No employer sponsorship is required.
- EB-1B: Academics and researchers with international recognition for their work may qualify under this category. The applicant must have at least three years of experience and a job offer from a U.S. university or research institution.
- EB-1C: This subcategory is for executives or managers of multinational companies who have been employed abroad for at least one year in the past three years.
