U.S. citizenship:
The wait time for the Green Card was a whopping 134 years back in September 2023 for more >1 million Indian immigrants (in the EB-2 and EB-3 categories). Though USCIS continues to make it better, only a Congressional reform will reform the green card backlog.
The severe limitation of H-1B visas:
The U.S. government releases only 85,000 H-1B visas every year (where 65,000 are for workers with at least a bachelor's degree and 20,000 are for workers with advanced degrees). This cap has not been changed in over two decades. So inevitably, the demand has crossed the supply. In 2023, 780k people applied for H-1B.
Abuse in the H-1B lottery system:
Of the 780k who applied for the H-1B lottery last year, about half of them were multiple applications coming from the same beneficiary. An entire cottage industry has been set up by IT consulting agencies that lure immigrants by promising H-1B visas in exchange for money. (Fortunately, USCIS is acting on this in FY25 by connecting each application to a unique beneficiary via the passport number.)
Deadline of 60 days if you get laid off/quit:
If you get laid off or quit your job on a temporary visa, you get 60 days after which you will become out of status and need to leave the country. This has devastated immigrants in tech the past two years since mass layoffs began and showed just how precarious the system can be.
Aging out of your child when they turn 21:
As of April 2020, over 250k children were waiting for green cards with their parents in 2020. Of the 250k, over 150k were from India, followed by China. Despite spending their entire life in America, these children would become out of status the moment they turn 21, and need to get their own visas if they want to continue living in the country.
Absence of social security & health benefits:
As an immigrant, you don’t have access to health benefits that citizens do. As healthcare costs are skyrocketing ($13,493 per person) in the U.S., you have to depend on employers for health insurance or pay out of pocket.
Competition with domestic talent:
As the U.S. government decided to raise fees for different categories of visas, tech firms may begin to look for domestic talent and cut costs by not hiring immigrants.

Can I apply for EB1A in parallel with EB2/EB3?
Yes, you can apply for EB1A in parallel with EB2 or EB3. These are different employment- based immigrant visa categories, and there's no restriction against applying for multiple categories simultaneously.
Can I include my spouse and children?
You can include your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 in your EB1A application. They will be eligible for derivative green cards, allowing your family to also become permanent residents in the United States.
Can I apply for EB1A from outside the US?
Absolutely! You can apply for the EB1A green card from outside the United States. The process involves submitting your petition to the USCIS and attending an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country. Once approved, the authorities will apply a one-time entry stamp on your passport to let you enter the United States as a permanent resident. After you arrive in the US, you are issued the green card within 90 days.
What if I don't have enough citations?
Having a huge number of citations is not the only determining factor. USCIS considers a range of evidence beyond just citations, such as awards, critical role, media coverage, high salary, memberships, and contributions to your field. Quality and impact matter more than sheer quantity, so be sure to highlight the significance of your work.
I have a degree from outside the US. Can I sill apply for the EB1A green card?
Absolutely! Your qualifications don't need to be tied to a geographical location. In fact, there is no stipulation on educational qualification when it comes to the EB1A criteria. Your achievements matter more than where you earned your degree.
Should I self-petition my EB1A or ask my employer?
If you have an employer willing to sponsor your green card, it may be a viable option but then you will be dependent on your employer for your EB1A process. We recommend self-petitioning your EB1A because it provides more control over the EB1A application process. The EB1A self- petition route also saves you from inadvertent delays should the economic priorities of your employer change or if there are layoffs. Not to mention, your employer's legal team may not possess the legal creativity and expertise needed to argue your EB1A petition.
Family of EB-1 Visa Holders
If your I-140 petition is approved, your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 are also eligible to apply for admission to the United States in E14 or E15 immigrant status, respectively.
Both EB1B and EB1A visas are employment-based immigrant visas and require extraordinary abilities. Then what makes the EB1A visa different from the EB1B visa?

The key differences between EB1A and EB1B visas are based on their target professionals, job offer requirements, and petitioning flexibility.

The EB-1A visa targets individuals with extraordinary abilities in science, arts, education, business, and athletics. Conversely, the EB1B visa targets professors and researchers with a minimum of three years of experience in teaching and research. They should also have international recognition.

You can self-petition for the EB1A visa, while filing for the EB1B visa requires an employer’s sponsorship.

Will switching jobs impact my EB1A visa petition?
The EB1A visa gives you the flexibility of self-petitioning, so you don’t require any employer sponsorships. Switching or losing a job does not negatively impact your EB1A petition.
If an applicant is unable to meet the requirement standards, are there any other alternatives available for filing the EB1A green card?
Yes, you can use ‘comparable evidence’ equivalent to standard requirements. This involves convincing USCIS that your evidence is similar to the standard criteria demonstrating your extraordinary abilities in the field.

‘Comparable evidences’ comprise scholarly articles, your value in the company’s equity, and open source contributions such as media recognition or interviews on reputable platforms

Can I apply for the EB1A green card while on another visa in the US?
Yes! An EB1A green card is a self-petition visa, so you have the flexibility to file an EB1A petition regardless of your visa status. However, you need to ensure a lawful status while your petition is pending.
Do the EB1A visa requirements differ for professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) compared to those in creative fields like music, art, etc.?
No, the main requirements for the EB1A visa are the same for professionals in STEM as well as creative fields. The core requirement is to demonstrate a sustained national and international acclaim.

STEM professionals should provide peer-reviewed publications and technical awards, while creative professionals need to submit their media recognition, critical reviews, and professional memberships.

Are open-source contributions, such as media coverage, mandatory for EB1A visa requirements?
Not at all! Media coverage is not mandatory. USCIS has provided a list of 10 criteria, out of which you need to meet at least three to showcase your extraordinary abilities. However, if you opt to include media coverage in your application, then it should be published in a major media outlet. Paid and promotional media should be avoided.
Should I prioritize quality over quantity of achievements in EB1A profile building?

Yes! The USCIS examines your application based on sustained national and international acclaim to ensure that you’re at the top of the field. So, fewer but more impactful achievements will weigh more than numerous minor awards.

I want to continue EB1A profile building even after filing the petition. Can I add more achievements while it’s under review?
Yes, your EB1A profile-building journey continues even after you’ve filed the petition. Your added new achievements will strengthen your application. However, you need to submit a new EB1A petition to the USCIS with updated information, as there are no automatic updates available.
What are the common mistakes usually made by applicants that affect their EB1A eligibility?
Some of the most common mistakes that applicants make include relying on weak and inadequate evidence, submitting an improperly organized petition package, and other careless errors.
What criteria do I need to consider for EB1A eligibility?
The USCIS has established a list of 10 criteria, out of which you need to meet at least three to meet eligibility. The ten criteria include:

a) Receiver of recognized (national and international) awards

b) Memberships in associations

c) Published material (reputable media or journals)

d) Served as a judge or reviewer

e) Original Contributions

f) Scholarly articles

g) Displayed articles in exhibitions

h) Led a crucial role in an organisation

i) Exceptional salary

j) Commercial success

How can I confirm the authenticity of EB1A experts?
You can confirm the authenticity of EB1A experts by analyzing their work record, such as client testimonials, experience related to serving your field, and verifying that they provide personalized guidance.

Jinee Green Card offers genuine client testimonials and has a proven track record of serving 30+ niches.

Can EB1A experts elevate my selection chances if my work is in a niche area?
Yes, of course! Even if you have extraordinary abilities in a niche area, effectively positioning your work with the guidance of EB1A experts will increase your chances of selection.
Is it mandatory to hire EB1A experts?
No, the law permits self-petitioning. However, the entire process is extremely complex, so it is advisable to hire experts. They help in strategically framing achievements, documenting, and aligning your application with USCIS standard criteria.

What differentiates the EB1A and EB2 NIW visas?
The distinguishing factor lies in the purpose. The EB1A visa is designated for exceptional achievements and grants a faster route to a green card. Contrarily, an EB2 NIW is tailored for well-established professionals contributing to national advancement but with a longer processing timeframe.
Is moving from an O1 visa to a Green Card possible?
Definitely! An O1 visa holder can change to an EB1A Green Card since both categories claim international extraordinary ability.
What is the price difference between an EB1A visa and an EB2 NIW visa?
The EB1A visa has higher application and legal fees but quicker processing timelines. The approval process for EB2 NIW is less expensive, but the timeline is prolonged.
Is an employer needed for the application for an EB1A or EB2 NIW visa?
N0! It is permitted to self-petition for both the EB1A visa and EB2 NIW visa, which means no job offer is needed.
Does this program provide a shortcut to obtaining a Green Card?
No, this program is not designed to offer quick or easy ways around the immigration process. If you’re seeking shortcuts, this may not be the program for you. Our program is built to systematically help you develop a compelling profile by focusing on your unique skills, career achievements, and the impact of your contributions. Our approach involves thoroughly evaluating your experience and quantifying your accomplishments, positioning you for success as a strong EB-1A Green Card candidate.
What is the current success rate?
Of all the members who diligently followed our program and applied, 93% of them received an EB1A approval.
How do you differ from a law firm?

Attorneys excel at determining whether you are eligible for EB1A but they:

  • are likely to reject your case if you aren’t eligible yet
  • are not experts in your field
    • cannot precisely guide you in building your EB1A profile strategically
  • We elevate your profile from where it is today to where it should be to qualify for EB1A through the expert guidance of our founder and EB1A recipient himself, as well as an expert team who has done it before. However, we are not a law firm and what we offer isn't meant to be a substitute for legal advice.

That said, we do partner with top EB1A attorneys and we can happily refer you to them once your profile is ready to be filed.

Can I join the program as a student?
As a student, you are in the most fertile research environment, with relatively abundant time. By joining, you can make significant moves towards EB1A readiness by the time you graduate and potentially skip the whole H1B ordeal. We even offer a discounted plan for students mentioned on our services page.
Does my membership cover one both O1A and EB1A?
Absolutely! We offer a complete solution for all your immigration needs, whether it's EB1A, O1, EB2 NIW, or a combination of paths like O1 leading to EB1A. Our expert team is dedicated to your overall immigration success, not just achieving a single visa.
Are individuals without advanced degrees successful in
obtaining EB1A approval through your program?
Absolutely. 95% of our clients do not hold PhD degrees, yet they have secured EB1A approvals with our guidance. Education has a lesser relevance in your EB1A journey compared to impact. Our team understands how to leverage other aspects of your accomplishments and expertise to build a compelling profile for EB1A approval.
Is there a specific duration to the support provided by your program?
Our commitment to your success remains steadfast until your I-140 petition is approved. Although we don't give guarantees of outcome, in our plan, we go a step further and only accept individuals who display very high potential of achieving readiness in one year, through our rigorous profile evaluation process.
What is the typical timeline for EB-1A approval through your program?
The timeline for obtaining EB1A approval varies. On average, the process can span from approximately 4 months to 8 months. The quickest go-getters have achieved it in 3 months after joining.
I work in a different field. How will this program help me?
The fundamentals of this program can be applied to any field. We have helped individuals from diverse industries such as engineering, computer science, healthcare, and more, earn their EB1A green card.
Is this program useful to prepare for O1-A?
Yes. The eligibility requirements for EB1A and O-1A overlap in many aspects However, the burden of proof required for EB1A is higher. So, when you prepare for EB1A, you very possibly also prepare yourself for O-1A but vice versa is not true. Not to mention, O-1A is a temporary visa and you would need to seek EB1A ultimately.
Can I apply for EB1A with a bachelor’s degree?
Yes. USCIS has listed 10 EB1A criteria. Nowhere in that list, do they require you to have a Ph.D., Master's, or even a bachelor’s degree. But people who have reached the summit of their field have at least a bachelor’s degree to their name. For the EB1A green card, you need to prove that you have risen to the very top of your field of endeavor, received sustained acclaim, and intend to continue your contributions in the United States.
Is the job title relevant for EB1A?
Your job title does not play an important role in your EB1A application, unlike H1B, EB2, and EB3 where you are restricted to certain SOC codes. What USCIS looks for is evidence of your extraordinary ability and sustained acclaim in your field of endeavor.
Does applying for EB1A impact my H1B?
The filing of your EB1A petition does not impact your current H1B status. If you are already in the US on an H1B visa, you can continue to work for your H1B sponsoring employer until your H1B status is valid, regardless of any EB1A proceedings.
Yes, your EB1A profile-building journey continues even after you’ve filed the petition. Your added new achievements will strengthen your application. However, you need to submit a new EB1A petition to the USCIS with updated information, as there are no automatic updates available.
The Jinee Green Card reviews are completely trustworthy as they are genuine responses from the clients. They have a proven track record of 87+ EB1A, O1A, and NIW approvals, thus making these reviews a dependable source of insight for anyone seeking Jinee Green Card’s services.
