What Are the Benefits of an EB-1 Visa?

There are several reasons why prospective immigrants value an EB-1 visa so much. First of all, if you obtain a talent-based visa, you immediately qualify for permanent residency – a green card. Additionally, with an EB-1 visa, you won’t have to convince the U.S. Department of Labor that there aren’t any American workers who could perform the same job. Finally, the wait time for an EB-1 visa is usually much shorter than for other work-based U.S. visas – and you can apply for a visa yourself. If you think you might qualify, it’s well worth pursuing. Contact one of our immigration attorneys to see if your background makes you eligible.

How Do I Apply for a Talent-Based Visa?

First, you need to gather documents that show you have met the criteria for an EB-1 visa. When you work with us, we can help you gather and organize your paperwork. You’ll also need to document a job offer from a U.S. firm or a U.S. subsidiary of a multinational firm. If you’re a professor or researcher, you’ll need to provide two types of documents, such as a major research paper in which other top people in your field discussed your work, evidence that you have won a nationally or internationally recognized award, or a paper that demonstrates that you have achieved a breakthrough in research. After you have all your documents in hand, your immigration lawyer will help you file an I-140 form to formally apply for your talent-based visa. Start your green card journey today.
