Why is the EB1 Visa Process Challenging?

While the EB1 visa offers numerous benefits, it also presents unique challenges, including:

1. Strict Evidence Requirements: Applicants must demonstrate extraordinary ability, which involves providing substantial and credible documentation.
2. Complex Eligibility Criteria: Each EB1 subcategory (EB1-A, EB1-B, EB1-C) has distinct requirements that must be carefully addressed.
3. High Standards for Approval: The bar for extraordinary ability or achievement is set high, requiring applicants to stand out significantly in their fields.
4. Navigating Employer Sponsorship: For EB1-B and EB1-C, a qualifying job offer is mandatory, adding another layer of complexity.

   • Membership in organizations that require outstanding achievements.
2. EB1-B: Outstanding Professors and Researchers

   Applicants must:

   • Have at least three years of teaching or research experience.
   • Hold an international reputation for excellence.
   • Secure a job offer from a U.S. academic or research institution.

Step-by-Step Guide to the EB1 Visa Application Process

   This petition must include:

   • Documentation such as awards, publications, or letters of recommendation.
   • A job offer letter for EB1-B and EB1-C applicants.

   • If you are in the U.S., file Form I-485 to adjust your status to permanent residency.
   • If you are abroad, file DS-260 for consular processing and attend an interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

4. Attend the Green Card Interview

   Prepare to present evidence supporting your qualifications and achievements during the USCIS or consular interview.

5. Receive Your Green Card

   Upon approval, you will receive a Green Card, granting you and your family lawful permanent residency.
