EB-1 Extraordinary Ability Green Card: Who Qualifies?

Attorney Edwin K. Fogam

The EB-1 Extraordinary Ability category is one of the most prestigious immigration options available in the United States. It is designed for individuals who have achieved sustained national or international acclaim in their field.

Unlike most employment-based green card categories, EB-1A allows you to self-petition — meaning you do not need an employer sponsor or a labor certification (PERM). This makes it one of the most flexible and desirable pathways for highly accomplished professionals.
