The EB-1 visa is an employment-based immigrant visa for individuals with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, or multinational executives and managers.
You may qualify if you have nationally or internationally recognized achievements in your field, are an outstanding professor or researcher, or are a multinational executive or manager transferring to the U.S.
Not always. EB-1A (extraordinary ability) applicants can self-petition without an employer. EB-1B (professors/researchers) and EB-1C (executives/managers) require an employer sponsor.
The EB-1 visa typically has shorter wait times than other employment-based visas because it is in the first preference category. Timelines vary depending on USCIS processing and your case type.
EB-1 visas avoid the PERM labor certification process, often result in faster processing, and provide a direct path to permanent residency and eventually U.S. citizenship.
