A good rule of thumb to follow for EB-1A

Apr 5

Here’s a post by immigration lawyer Amber Davis on a good rule of thumb to follow for EB-1A:

A good rule of thumb for EB-1A when it comes to extraordinary ability and a strong case?

Being in the top 1% of something. Or even top 10% works sometimes.

Could be that you’re one of the top researchers or professionals in your country for a specific field.

Could be that you’re one of the top executives at a top multinational company.

A lot of EB-1A applicants (based on the ones I’ve spoken to) seem to think that extraordinary means winning an Olympic medal or a Nobel Prize.

That is extraordinary but is not the only form of extraordinary ability that USCIS takes into account for EB-1A.

It’s so much more than that.
