EB-1 Visa (EB1 Green Card)
What is an EB-1 Visa?
Who qualifies for an EB-1 Visa?
An EB-1 visa is a type of employment-based immigrant visa. It is designed for individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in their respective fields. There are three subcategories within the EB-1 visa classification:
- EB-1A: Extraordinary Ability
- This category is for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability in their field, which can include the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.
- Applicants must provide evidence of sustained national or international acclaim and recognition for their achievements.
- They do not require a job offer or labor certification to qualify for this visa.
- EB-1B: Outstanding Professors and Researchers
- This category is for outstanding professors and researchers who have a minimum of three years of teaching or research experience.
- Applicants must have a job offer from a U.S. employer (usually a university or research institution) and demonstrate international recognition for their work.
- A labor certification is not required.
- EB-1C: Multinational Managers and Executives
- This category is for managers and executives who have been employed abroad by a multinational company and are being transferred to a U.S. office of the same company.
- The U.S. office must have been in operation for at least one year.
- This category also does not require labor certification.
EB-1 visas are considered immigrant visas. Individuals who obtain EB-1 visas can live and work in the U.S. indefinitely and eventually apply for U.S. citizenship if they meet the eligibility criteria.

USCIS Processing:
The processing time for an EB-1 visa through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can vary depending on several factors, including your country of origin, the specific USCIS service center handling your case, and the current caseload. Here is an overview of the general steps and processing times for an EB-1 visa through USCIS:
- Form I-140 Petition: The first step is to file an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) with USCIS. This form is typically filed by your U.S. employer, and it establishes your eligibility for the EB-1 category. USCIS will review the petition to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria.
- Processing time: USCIS processing times for Form I-140 can vary but generally range from several months to over a year. You can check the USCIS website for current processing time estimates for your specific service center.
- Premium Processing (Optional): USCIS offers a premium processing service for certain visa categories, including the EB-1. For an additional fee, USCIS will expedite the processing of your Form I-140 within 15 calendar days. Premium processing can significantly reduce the processing time.
Priority Date & Visa Bulletin:
- Visa Bulletin: After USCIS approves your Form I-140, your priority date (the date of filing your petition) becomes important. You must wait for a visa number to become available based on the Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State. The availability of visa numbers depends on your visa category and country of chargeability.
Consular Processing:
If the alien does not live in the U.S., they will have to submit:
- The DS-260 Immigrant Visa Application,
- Supporting documents, and
- Attend an interview with the U.S. Consulate in their country.
Upon approval, the alien will be able to enter the U.S. as a permanent resident.
Adjustment of Status (AOS)
If the alien already lives in the U.S. they will have to submit a Form I-485 ( Application for Adjustment of Status). Upon approval, they will have permanent resident status in the U.S.
