Turning Your Extraordinary Ability into Permanent Residency

An EB-1 visa allows individuals who are at the very top of their field to apply for permanent residency in the United States based on their high level of achievement. 


These are the categories for EB-1 visa applicants: 

  • Individuals with extraordinary achievements in the arts, sciences, business, education, or athletics who will continue their work in the U.S., with or without a current offer of employment
  • Outstanding professors or researchers who have received a job offer from a U.S. employer
  • Multinational executives or managers who are being transferred to a U.S. office


At Eastbridge, we have a proven track record of guiding professionals through the talent-based immigration process. Let us help you present a well-organized case that highlights your accomplishments and aligns with all the necessary requirements.


Our attorneys offer free initial evaluations over the phone, as well as longer, situation-specific paid appointments for more detailed guidance.

BENEFITS OF AN EB-1 VISA

The EB-1 visa offers significant advantages for individuals with strong achievements in their field. One of the biggest benefits is that it leads directly to a green card, providing permanent residency in the U.S. without the need for a lengthy labor certification process.

Another advantage is that the EB-1 visa typically has a much shorter wait time than other employment-based immigration options. And in many cases, you can file your own application, rather than needing an employer to petition on your behalf.

Applying for a Talent-Based Visa

To apply for an EB-1 visa, the first step is to gather documentation that shows you meet the necessary criteria. If you’re applying as a professor, researcher, or someone with extraordinary ability in your field, you’ll need to show proof of your accomplishments, such as published work that’s been cited by respected peers, national or international awards, or evidence of significant contributions to your focus area. 


Once your documentation is in order, we’ll assist you in filing Form I-140, which is the official petition for your EB-1 visa. The process can look lengthy and complicated, but with the right legal support, it becomes much more manageable. If you believe that your background and accomplishments might meet the EB-1 standards, we’re here to help you evaluate your options and take the next step towards permanent residency in the United States.
