Employment Based Immigration: Extraordinary Ability – EB-1 (a)
EB-1 (a) immigrant classification is reserved for individuals who have attained national or international recognition for their achievements in fields of science, art, education, business, or athletics.
Petitions for immigrant classification based upon one’s extraordinary ability need not be supported by a job offer nor must one demonstrate the lack of available United States workers. All that is required is sufficient documentary evidence to support the claim to "extraordinary ability" and an intention to pursue work in the field of expertise.
Immigrant classification of this character entitles one to immigrate in the order of the date the petition is filed (the priority date) and as soon as an immigrant visa is available.
Immigrant visa availability is a function of the number of visas available in any given year, the number of petitions already on file for the particular preference classification, and the country of birth of the applicant or his or her spouse.
