2. What is EB-1 Visa???
• The EB-1 is a preference category for United
States employment-based permanent
residency.
• It is intended for "priority workers". Those are
foreign nationals who either have
“extraordinary abilities”, or are outstanding
• professors or researchers, and also include
some executives and managers of foreign
companies who are transferred to the US.
• It allows them to remain permanently in the US
3. Who can apply EB-1???
• Applicants who can demonstrate their
extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts,
education, business, or athletics through
sustained
• National or International acclaim are not
required to have a permanent offer of
employment in the US and are eligible to
self-petition, however,
• They must intend to work in the US in
their field of expertise.
4. Application Process
• Applications for permanent resident cards (green
cards) were decided by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) until 2003 when the INS
was abolished and replaced by the current
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
• The whole process may take several years,
depending on the type of immigrant category and
the country of chargeability. An immigrant usually
has to go through a three-step process to get
permanent residency
5. Immigrant petition (Form I-140)
• In the first step, USCIS approves the
immigrant petition by a qualifying
relative, an employer, or in rare cases,
such as with an investor visa, the
applicant himself. If a sibling is
applying, she or he must have the
same parents as the applicant.
6. Immigrant visa availability
• In the second step, unless the applicant is an "immediate
relative", an immigrant visa number through the National Visa
Center (NVC)[72] of the United States Department of State
(DOS) must be available. A visa number might not be
immediately available even if the USCIS approves the petition,
because the number of immigrant visa numbers is limited
every year by quotas set in the Immigration and Nationality
Act (INA). There are also certain additional limitations by
country of chargeability. Thus, most immigrants will be placed
on lengthy waiting lists. Those immigrants who are immediate
relatives of a U.S. citizen (spouses and children under 21 years
of age, and parents of a U.S. citizen who is 21 years of age or
older) are not subject to these quotas and may proceed to the
next step immediately (since they qualify for the IR immigrant
category).
7. Immigrant visa adjudication
• In the third step, when an immigrant visa
number becomes available, the applicant
must either apply with USCIS to adjust their
current status to permanent resident status or
apply with the DOS for an immigrant visa at
the nearest U.S. consulate before being
allowed to come to the United States.
