Greetings 👋
My name is Alexander, I am your personal manager. Let me help you!

Recently, our team was asked a question: “Hello! I have publications, a couple of awards and experience working abroad. Will this really work on EB-1?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
23.07.2025 13:17:10 Hello! The EB-1 visa category is designed for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in their field, outstanding professors or researchers, or multinational executives and managers. Based on your description, it sounds like you might be considering the EB-1A (extraordinary ability) or EB-1B (outstanding professor/researcher) subcategories. Here’s a brief overview of the requirements for each: ### EB-1A: Extraordinary Ability To qualify under this category, you must show sustained national or international acclaim and that your achievements have been recognized in your field. You need to meet at least 3 out of 10 criteria set by USCIS, which include: 1. Receipt of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence. 2. Membership in associations that require outstanding achievement. 3. Published material about you in professional publications. 4. Participation as a judge of the work of others. 5. Original contributions of major significance to your field. 6. Authorship of scholarly articles. 7. Display of your work at artistic exhibitions or showcases. 8. Performance in a leading role for organizations with a distinguished reputation. 9. High salary compared to others in the field. 10. Commercial successes in the performing arts. ### EB-1B: Outstanding Professors/Researchers This category requires: 1. International recognition for being outstanding in a specific academic area. 2. At least three years of experience in teaching or research in that academic area. 3. A job offer from a U.S employer for a tenure-track teaching position or comparable research position. You also need to meet at least two out of six criteria: 1. Receipt of major prizes or awards for outstanding achievement. 2. Memberships requiring outstanding achievements. 3. Published material about your work in professional publications written by others. 4. Participation as a judge of the work of others. 5. Original scientific/scholarly research contributions to the field. 6. Authorship of scholarly books/articles. Given your publications, awards, and international experience, you may have strong elements that could support an application under either category depending on additional details and evidence you can provide. It's important to thoroughly document all claims with appropriate evidence and consider consulting with an immigration attorney who specializes in employment-based visas to evaluate your qualifications more comprehensively and assist with preparing a strong case if you decide to apply under EB-1A or EB-1B categories.
23.07.2025 18:11:43 Hello! Publications, international experience, and awards are strong starting points for an EB-1 petition, but USCIS looks for sustained national or international acclaim. You typically need to meet at least 3 of 10 listed criteria, such as authorship of scholarly articles, original contributions, judging others’ work, or being in a critical role. If your evidence shows you’re among the top few percent in your field, it can absolutely work—just make sure your documentation is solid and well-organized.
23.07.2025 18:28:48 Hi! Your background—publications, awards, and global work experience—can definitely support an EB-1 petition, but it depends on how well the evidence meets USCIS standards. You must satisfy at least three regulatory criteria, and ideally show you're a leader in your field with recognized impact. If your achievements demonstrate extraordinary ability on a national or international level, then yes, it can work—but success often hinges on strong presentation and detailed documentation.
