u003cbr/u003eThe EB-1A process is easier when you have an EB-1A lawyer. EB-1A is for candidates who possess superior and extraordinary abilities in the fields of science, art, and education. This is one of the most sought-after categories for visas because it does not require PERM Labor Certification, but it does have an option for Premium Processing and you can self-petition. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite the self-petitioning option, it is still recommended that you work with a lawyer. While this can be the fastest United States immigration process, it can still be time-consuming. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAdditionally, as the EB-1 is so sought-after, is it also very difficult to obtain. The eligibility for this visa includes receiving a major, internationally recognized award or demonstrating criteria such as publishing material about your work in professional journals/trade publications/major media, commanding a high salary compared to others in the field, commercial success in the performing arts, and others. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile these criteria can appear initially intimidating, they can be overcome through careful planning, the proper collection of evidence, and professional guidance. Over the years, we’ve found that the main key to a successful EB-1A application is to prove both how well you can define your field of specialization as well as the degree to which you have excelled in that field. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe know exactly what the USCIS looks for in an EB-1A application. So, we can make sure that your petition adheres exactly to that strict criteria.
