EB-1B Attorneys for Exceptional Professors and Researchers

The EB-1B visa is for distinguished professors and researchers with internationally recognized achievements. If you have a strong record of publications, citations, or groundbreaking work, this visa may be your direct route to a U.S. green card.

What is the EB-1B Visa?

The Employment-Based First Preference Outstanding Professors and Researchers (EB-1B) visa provides a pathway to U.S. permanent residency for academics and researchers who have achieved international recognition in their field. To qualify, petitioners must demonstrate a strong record of scholarly accomplishments, along with at least three years of teaching or research experience. In addition, a permanent job offer is required from a U.S. university, institution of higher education, or a company with substantial research activity.
