What is

EB-1A Visa

The EB-1A visa is a subcategory of the EB-1 which is the First Preference Employment-Based green card category. Individuals who have outstanding performance in various fields such as science, technology, education, business, social sciences, humanities, commerce, music, drama, dance, acrobatics, film, literature, art, design, sports, etc., and have national or international acclaim proven with documentation of the applicant’s achievements can apply for this type of green card.

The EB-1A visa is a popular option because it does not require a labor certification and a permanent job offer from a U.S. company. The applicant can apply for the petition on his/her behalf.

EB-1A Processing Time: 1 to 1.5 year(s)

Why should you choose UMD?

Frequently Asked Questions

UMD can answer all the common questions about immigration. Find your answers below.

I have already got my H1B visa, why do I need to apply for immigration?

Answer: H1B is a working visa, not an immigration visa. Even if you had an H1B visa, there will be many reviewing processes that could be difficult. Also, the applicant must work in the same company in the following 6 years. If you change jobs, you need to reapply, which is very disadvantageous to the applicant, and apply for a green card after 6 years. If you want to obtain a U.S. green card early, you should try to apply for EB-2/EB-3, which is more beneficial to working and living in the United States in the future, as well as more job opportunities because U.S. companies are more willing to hire U.S. employees first.
