The EB1 Immigration Categories and the Persons of Extraordinary Ability

EB1 has three separate subcategories of case types that can enjoy this classification. The unifying element is that none of these cases requires a labor certification. Each starts at the I-140 petition stage. The categories are: Persons of Extraordinary Ability (EB1A); Outstanding Professors and Researchers (EB1B); and Multinational Executives and Managers (EB1C). There are no other types of EB1 cases. A labor certification-based EB2 or EB3 cannot simply be switched over to EB1 when an individual has more work experience, etc. http://www.greencardapply.com/news/news12/news12_0725.htm 

The EB1 - Extraordinary Ability category is intended for the small percentage of individuals who have risen to the very top of their respective fields of endeavor, and can be based on self-sponsorship. That is, the foreign national does not need an employer as the sponsor. The person of "extraordinary ability," however, must seek to enter and/or remain in the United States to continue to work in his or her area of prospective benefit to the U.S. The extraordinary ability can be in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. This ability must be demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim. There must be extensive documentation of the recognized achievements in the field.

The required evidence of sustained national or international acclaim can include evidence of a one-time achievement, such as a major international award. The typical example of this is a Nobel Prize. For those who have not received such accolades, it is necessary to show documentation of three categories of evidence out of a list of ten. The categories of evidence are: 

1. documentation of receipt of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence in the field of endeavor

2. documentation of membership to associations in the field for which the classification is sought, which require outstanding achievements of their members as judged by recognized national or international experts in their disciplines or fields

3. evidence of the candidate's participation, either individually or on a panel, as a judge of the work of others in the same or an allied field of specification for which classification is sought

4. published material about the individual in professional or major trade publications or other major media, relating to the foreign national's work in the field for which classification is sought

5. evidence of the foreign national's authorship of scholarly articles in the field, in professional or major trade publications or other major media

6. evidence of the foreign national's original scientific, scholarly, artistic, athletic, or business-related contributions of major significance in the field

7. evidence of the display of the foreign national's work in the field of artistic exhibitions or showcases

8. evidence of commercial successes in the performing arts, as shown by box office receipts or record, cassette, compact disc, or video sales.

9. evidence that the foreign national has commanded a high salary or other significantly high remuneration for services, in relation to others in the field

10. evidence that the foreign national has performed in a leading or critical role for organizations that have a distinguished reputation.
