EB1-1 (Individuals with Extraordinary Abilities)
Foreign
nationals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in a specific
field may qualify for EB-1-1 employment
based status as "priority worker". The foreign national
must show that s/he has achieved international or national acclaim
in his/her field, and has extraordinary ability (i.e., they
have risen to the top of his/her field). S/he must submit documentation
of outstanding achievements in the specific field. In addition,
the applicant must demonstrate that s/he will be coming to the
United States to pursue employment in his/her field of expertise.
The applicant does not need an offer of employment in the United
States.
To
obtain an EB1-1 visa, a petition must
be filed with the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS).
Upon approval, the applicant, his/her spouse and any children
under 21 years of age may apply for immigrant visas through
adjustment of status in the United States, or through consular
processing at a U.S. Consulate outside the United States.
