EB1: Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professors/Researchers, and Multinational Executives​​

​

The EB1 visa category is reserved for the “best of the best” in their fields, offering a direct route to permanent residency for individuals who can demonstrate extraordinary ability, internationally recognized achievements, or exceptional leadership. This visa is ideal for:

​

  • Individuals with Extraordinary Ability (EB1-A): Professionals at the top of their field in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. We help clients compile compelling evidence of achievements, such as major awards, peer-reviewed publications, or leadership roles, to satisfy the high standards of the USCIS.

  • Outstanding Professors and Researchers (EB1-B): Academics and researchers who have achieved international recognition for their groundbreaking contributions. We work with universities and research institutions to ensure petitions demonstrate the beneficiary’s impact and acclaim.

  • Multinational Executives or Managers (EB1-C): Senior executives or managers of multinational companies transferring to U.S. operations. We guide businesses in presenting robust evidence of qualifying roles, responsibilities, and corporate structures to ensure compliance.

​

With no requirement for labor certification, the EB1 category offers an expedited path to a green card for those who qualify.

​

EB2 National Interest Waiver (NIW)

​​

The EB2 NIW is designed for professionals whose work is of exceptional value to the United States. Unlike traditional EB2 applications, the National Interest Waiver allows qualified individuals to bypass the labor certification process if they can demonstrate that their contributions are in the national interest.

​

Ideal for professionals in science, technology, engineering, healthcare, and other high-demand fields, the NIW requires applicants to show:

  • Substantial merit and importance of their work.

  • Their proposed endeavor is national in scope and has significant potential to benefit the U.S. economy, education, health, or security.

  • Their work justifies waiving the job offer and labor certification requirements because it is in the best interest of the United States.

 

We help in crafting persuasive petitions that highlight your expertise and the broader societal impact of your work, ensuring that your contributions are recognized as essential to the U.S.

​

O1: For Individuals with Extraordinary Ability​

​​

The O1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa for individuals with extraordinary ability in fields such as arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics. This visa is ideal for individuals whose expertise or accomplishments have earned them significant recognition nationally or internationally.

​

Applicants must demonstrate extraordinary ability by providing evidence such as:

  • Receipt of major awards or honors.

  • Publications, media coverage, or original contributions in their field.

  • Membership in organizations that require outstanding achievements for entry.

​

Whether you're a scientist, artist, entrepreneur, or professional with unparalleled talent, we help craft petitions that showcase your extraordinary ability, emphasizing your accomplishments to meet the high standards set by the U.S. government.

​

E2: Treaty Investor Visa: For Entrepreneurs and Investors​​

​

The E2 visa is a popular choice for foreign entrepreneurs and investors who wish to establish or expand a business in the United States. Available to citizens of countries with qualifying treaties, the E2 visa allows individuals to make a substantial investment in a U.S.-based business and oversee its operations.

​

Key features of the E2 visa include:

  • Flexibility: E2 visas can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business remains operational and meets the visa requirements.

  • Dependents: Spouses and children of E2 visa holders can join them in the U.S., with spouses eligible to apply for work authorization.

  • Entrepreneurial Freedom: This visa is ideal for startups, small business owners, and established investors seeking new opportunities.

​

Our firm helps clients navigate the complexities of the E2 process, from demonstrating a substantial investment and business viability to preparing supporting documentation that meets USCIS standards.
