Iranian EB1 Immigration Lawyer and Qualified Person
An EB1A is an immigrant visa in the EB1 category that is reserved for foreign workers of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics. There is only one criterion, which is to establish “sustained national or international acclaim.”
The standard for EB1A is high, and reserved for those who have proven to be amongst to top few percent in their field. Immigration laws have set out specific criteria to allow the foreign worker to prove “sustained national or international acclaim.” The easiest way to prove eligibility is to show that you possess a major international award of renowned repute.
Advantages and Limitations of EB1A Green Card
An advantage of the EB1A over the other EB1 petitions is that no job offer is required. As previously mentioned, the process for obtaining EB1 status is much faster than other employment based green card petitions.
The immigration service is hesitant to approve EB1A cases. Often, an EB2 or EB3 petition is a better, more realistic option.
