EB1-B Visa

EB1-B is a subcategory of the Employment-Based First Preference (EB-1) immigrant visa, designed specifically for outstanding professors and researchers. This green card category does not require labor certification, making it an efficient path for qualified foreign nationals who have been internationally recognized in their academic or scientific field.

Through this visa, eligible individuals may work for a U.S. university or a qualified private employer engaged in research. The applicant’s spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 are also eligible to apply for permanent residency under this category.

Conditions to Apply for EB1-B

• The applicant must be internationally recognized as outstanding in a specific scientific or scholarly field
  
• Must have a minimum of 3 years of experience in teaching or research in the academic field
  
• Self-petitioning is not allowed; a U.S. employer must act as the petitioner
  
• No Labor Certification (LCA) is required, but an offer of ongoing employment is mandatory
  
• The applicant must provide evidence of experience, achievements, and international recognition in the field
