EB-1 Visa Lawyers in Columbus, OH

EB-1 Visa Requirements

Eligibility for an EB-1 visa is based on whether an applicant qualifies under one of the three following categories, which are listed and defined below:

• Persons with extraordinary abilities, who can demonstrate such abilities in the areas of the arts, sciences, athletics, business, or education, based on national or international acclaim and through extensive documentation. No offer of employment is required for this type of EB-1 visa.
• Outstanding professors/teachers, who can demonstrate international recognition for outstanding achievements in their specific academic field, with the additional requirement of at least 3 years of experience in that area. Applicants must be entering the U.S. to teach or conduct research to qualify.
• Multinational managers/executives, who wish to enter the U.S. in order to continue service at a firm or corporation, in a managerial or executive capacity. Applicants must have been employed by the company in question for at least 1 year within the 3 years preceding their applications, outside of the U.S.
