EB-1 Classification: Extraordinary Ability

The Employment-Based First Preference category, known as EB-1, is aimed at individuals with exceptional abilities, including those with extraordinary talents, outstanding researchers and professors, and managers or executives of multinational organizations.

Green Cards for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability:To qualify for an EB-1 visa, individuals can prove their eligibility as Persons of Extraordinary Ability, allowing them to immigrate to the U.S. without needing an employment offer. Unlike other categories, this does not require the PERM filing process, resulting in faster processing times.


Eligibility Criteria for Persons of Extraordinary Ability:Applicants must demonstrate exceptional achievements in fields such as sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, along with national or international recognition. Extensive documentation is required to support these accomplishments. This classification is reserved for individuals who have reached the highest level of expertise and acclaim in their fields.

Applicants can qualify by providing evidence of a significant achievement award (e.g., an Oscar, Pulitzer Prize, Olympic Medal) or meeting at least three of the following criteria:

  • Evidence of nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence.
  • Membership in associations that demand outstanding achievements.
  • Published material about the applicant in professional publications or major media.
  • Participation as a judge of others' work in the field.
  • Major contributions of significance in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.
  • Authorship of scholarly articles in professional publications or major media.
  • Display of work at artistic exhibitions or showcases.
  • Leading or critical role in distinguished organizations.
  • Commanding a high salary or significantly high remuneration in the field.
  • Commercial successes in the performing arts.

Similarly, EB-1 applications can be submitted under the categories of Outstanding Professor or Researcher and Executive or Manager. To be eligible as an Outstanding Professor or Researcher, applicants must show international recognition in their field, have at least 3 years of experience in teaching or research, and hold a job offer from a U.S. employer. They must also provide evidence meeting at least two of the specified criteria.

Criteria for Outstanding Professor or Researcher:

  • Receipt of major awards or prizes recognizing exceptional achievements.
  • Membership in professional associations that require significant accomplishments for entry.
  • Published articles or reviews by others about the applicant's work in their academic field.
  • Serving as a judge for the work of others in the same field.
  • Significant contributions through original research or scholarly work in the field.
  • Authorship of scholarly books or articles published in international journals.

To qualify for an EB-1 visa as an Executive or Manager, the petitioner must be a U.S. employer who has been operational for at least one year. The applicant must have been employed by the same employer outside the U.S. for at least one of the last three years and must be seeking to continue working for that employer in a managerial or executive role.
