Obtaining an EB1 visa can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be! The fastest way to obtain this type of visa is through the Extraordinary Ability category. This category allows individuals with outstanding achievements in their field to apply for the visa without having to go through the traditional labor certification process. The first step when applying for the Extraordinary Ability category is filing Form I-140 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). To qualify for this category, applicants must provide substantial evidence of their extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. Such evidence may include (but isn't limited to) documentation of awards and prizes received, published materials about you and your work in your field, media mentions or articles written about you, membership in elite professional organizations or societies related to your field of expertise etc. Once USCIS approves your petition for classification under this category, you will then need to file Form I-485 application in order to complete the process – usually within 180 days from approval date!
In conclusion: Applying for an EB1 visa can be a challenging process; however by applying under the Extraordinary Ability Category one can quickly get back on track! With adequate preparation and research into what qualifies as evidence of extraordinary ability applicants are sure to increase their chances of success!
