Frequently Asked Questions about EB-1 Visas

Q. Do I need an employer for an EB-1A visa?

A. No, you do not need an employer to sponsor you for an EB-1A visa. It is a self-petitioning visa.

Q. How many publications do I need to meet EB-1A minimum requirements?

A. There is no specific number of publications required to meet the EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability) visa requirements. To qualify for an EB-1A visa, you need to demonstrate that you have achieved extraordinary ability in your field, which can be in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. While publications can be valuable evidence of your achievements, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) considers a wide range of criteria when evaluating your application.
