EB-1 VISA
VISA FOR PROFESSIONALS WITH EXTRAORDINARY SKILLS
WHAT IS THE EB-1 VISA?
Professionals with “extraordinary skills” are those who are highly ranked in their fields and have broad national or international recognition in arts, education, science, business or athletics. A great differential of the EB-1 visa is that it does not require a job offer or employer in the U.S., applicants are qualified solely through his/her merits and professional background and, in many cases, academic background as well.
To qualify for an EB-1 visa, the applicant must fulfill at least 3 of the 10 criteria below:
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXTRAORDINARY SKILLS
