Proving “extraordinary ability” for EB-1A

Here’s a post by immigration lawyer Amber Davis on EB-1A and what counts as proof of extraordinary ability:

Extraordinary ability in the EB-1A does not mean you need have won:

- A Nobel Prize
- A Pulitzer.
- An Oscar.

Having those things can mean nearly automatic approval, but you can also be:

- The President of a company.
- The founder of a well-regarded startup.
- One of the pioneers of a new field.

All of the above, while not grounds for automatic EB-1A qualification, can still be amazing anchors for building a strong EB-1A case.
