EB-1

The EB-1 visa is an employment-based green card category for individuals with exceptional talent, outstanding achievements, or those recognized as professors, researchers, or multinational executives. It is designed for highly accomplished professionals to gain permanent residence in the U.S. without lengthy labor certification processes. The visa has three subcategories: EB-1A for individuals with extraordinary ability, EB-1B for outstanding researchers and professors, and EB-1C for multinational managers. This category often offers faster processing and a higher priority for green card approval, recognizing individuals who excel significantly in their fields.
