Applicants maintain full control of the process—no job offer or employer petition is needed.
Unlike many other green card categories, EB1A applicants aren’t subject to nationality-based limitations, accelerating the overall timeline.
Qualified applicants can benefit from premium processing, drastically cutting down waiting periods.
This visa is especially suited for experts in fields like artificial intelligence, data science, software development, cybersecurity, and other cutting-edge tech sectors. While the pathway is fast, success depends on meeting rigorous eligibility standards and presenting a persuasive case to USCIS.
