EB-1 Extraordinary Ability

The EB-1 visa is one of the most prestigious and fastest pathways to obtaining a U.S. green card, designed for individuals who have reached the top of their field in:

  • Sciences (researchers, scientists, engineers)
  • Arts (musicians, actors, visual artists)
  • Education (notable educators and scholars)
  • Business (entrepreneurs, executives, corporate leaders)
  • Athletics (professional athletes and coaches)

Unlike many other employment-based visas, the EB-1 does not require employer sponsorship.
