1. What is EB1A
EB-1A, also known as "Alien of Extraordinary Ability," is a subcategory of the EB-1 employment-based immigrant visa in the United States. It is designed for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability in their field of expertise. This visa category is particularly attractive because it does not require a specific job offer from a U.S. employer, meaning the applicant can self-petition for the visa.
2. Eligibility
the alien has extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics which has been demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim and whose achievements have been recognized in the field through extensive documentation,
the alien seeks to enter the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability, and
the alien's entry into the United States will substantially benefit prospectively the United States.
