EB1A Alien of Extraordinary Ability
Opportunities:
- EB1A or alien with extraordinary ability offers an opportunity for alien with extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics to obtain permanent residency.
- No need for job offerto file EB1A petition.
- Until recently, EB1A had always been the fastest route toward US permanent residency. There had been no visa backlog for this category before.
- Premium Processing is available for EB1A petition, meaning that once the petition is filed with USCIS, it can be approved within 15 calendar days.
Challenges:
- EB1A is the most challenging employment-based green card category with the most restrictive requirements
- In August 2019, the visa backlog situation for EB1A is slightly longer than EB2 for petitioners worldwide. It is hard to predict how long this situation will last. Therefore, if the petitioner was born in a country other than India, there seems no incentive to apply for EB1A but not for EB2 NIW. For India-born petitioners, EB1A is still way faster than NIW.
- Unlike scholars and researchers whose achievements and reputations in the field can be easily documented by publications and citations, talented individuals in the business field may find it hard to document their achievements. This is true even for business executives who have significantly contributed to the overseas operation of US fortune 500 companies.
