Do I qualify for EB-1A in Los Angeles?

18.08.2025 21:27:15 Yes, you can apply for an EB-1A visa without a job offer. The EB-1A classification is designed for individuals with extraordinary ability in fields such as the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics. As a musician with international awards and media coverage, you may qualify under this category if you can demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim and that your achievements have been recognized in your field. To apply for an EB-1A visa, you need to provide evidence of your extraordinary ability through documentation such as: 1. Evidence of receiving major internationally recognized awards. 2. Documentation of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence in your field. 3. Membership in associations that require outstanding achievement. 4. Published material about you in professional or major trade publications. 5. Evidence of participation as a judge of the work of others in your field. 6. Original contributions of major significance to your field. 7. Authorship of scholarly articles in professional journals or other major media. 8. Artistic exhibitions or showcases. 9. Performance in a leading role for organizations with distinguished reputations. 10. High salary or other significantly high remuneration compared to others in the field. You must meet at least three out of these ten criteria unless you have received a one-time achievement like a Pulitzer Prize, Oscar, or Olympic Medal. Additionally, you must show that you are coming to the United States to continue working in your area of expertise and that your entry will substantially benefit the United States. Since no job offer is required for an EB-1A petition, you can self-petition by filing Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) along with the necessary evidence supporting your qualifications. Consider consulting with an immigration attorney who specializes in EB-1A cases to ensure all requirements are met and to strengthen your application package.
