EB1 visa requirements

Extraordinary Ability or Accomplishments

For individuals in the extraordinary ability category, applicants must provide substantial evidence of their outstanding achievements in their field, such as awards, publications, or a significant record of accomplishments.

Outstanding Professors and Researchers

Applicants in this category must demonstrate that they are internationally recognized as outstanding in their academic field through publications, contributions to research, and recognition by peers.

Multinational Executives or Managers

For multinational executives or managers, applicants must provide proof of their executive or managerial role in an international company, showing a qualifying relationship with the U.S. employer.

Evidence of Achievements

Applicants must submit detailed evidence of their achievements, such as letters of recommendation, employment records, awards, or proof of their role in groundbreaking projects or research.

Intention to Work in the U.S.

Applicants must intend to continue working in their area of expertise in the U.S. after receiving the EB1 visa, demonstrating the potential benefit to the U.S. economy or culture.

No Labor Certification Required

Unlike other employment-based green cards, the EB1 Visa does not require a labor certification, meaning the applicant does not need to prove that there are no qualified U.S. workers for the position.
