Eligibility Based on Extraordinary Ability
If you stand out in your field, you may be able to enter the United States with an EB-1 green card based on extraordinary ability.
According to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) mandates, you need to be able to prove you are “extraordinary” in the fields of:
- Science
- Art
- Education
- Business
- Or athletics
To prove that you are extraordinary, you need to fulfill at least 3 of 10 possible requirements set by the USCIS.
The 10 possible prerequisites you can meet are providing evidence of:
- National or international awards for excellence
- Membership to prestigious and related associations
- Major publications discussing your role in your field
- An association asking you to judge the work of others in your field
- Significant contributions you have made to your field
- Published articles you wrote in regards to your field
- Related work you created being displayed to the public
- Your role leading or greatly supporting a relevant organization

It is worth noting you do not need any offer of employment to file for an EB-1 green card based on your extraordinary ability. You can attempt to enter and stay in the United States using this immigration form and then look for work once you arrive.

To apply for an EB-1 green card as an outstanding professor and researcher, you must show proof that you are internationally recognized for your achievements within your field of study.
