EB-1A: Where to Begin?

Starting your EB-1A journey can feel overwhelming — but the key is to break it down step by step. The EB-1A visa is designed for individuals with extraordinary ability in their field, whether it's science, arts, business, education, or athletics. But what does “extraordinary” actually mean? It means you’ve risen to the very top of your profession — and you can prove it.

The best place to begin is by assessing your qualifications against the USCIS criteria. Have you received major awards? Judged the work of others? Contributed original, significant work? Start gathering evidence now, and don’t wait for perfection — a skilled immigration attorney can help shape your story into a strong petition. The earlier you start, the sooner your extraordinary talent can open extraordinary doors.
