What Is an EB1B Green Card?
The EB1B Green Card is a part of the larger EB-1 employment-based immigration preference category, which is itself divided into three subcategories: EB1A (Extraordinary Ability), EB1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers), and EB1C (Multinational Executives and Managers). The EB1B category specifically targets talented researchers and professors who have received widespread recognition for their unique contributions to their respective fields.
Unlike many other visa categories, the EB1B does not require labor certification, which can significantly expedite the application process. Furthermore, the EB1B category generally has a shorter waiting time than other employment-based categories because of the comparatively fewer applications it receives.
EB1B Green Card Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for an EB1B Green Card, applicants must meet stringent criteria that affirm their status as outstanding researchers or professors. These include:
Application Process
The application process for an EB1B Green Card involves two main steps:
Filing of the I-140 Petition: The U.S. employer must file Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This petition must include evidence that satisfies the eligibility criteria outlined above.
Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing: Once the I-140 is approved, the applicant can apply for an adjustment of status (if they are already in the U.S.) or go through consular processing (if they are outside the U.S.).
