EB-1B Green Card Q&A

Applicants must demonstrate international recognition for outstanding achievements in an academic field, have at least 3 years of teaching or research experience, and be seeking a tenured or comparable research position in the U.S.

Applicants must meet at least 2 of the following 6 criteria:

• Receipt of awards for outstanding achievement.
• Membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements.
• Published materials about their work in professional publications.
• Participation as a peer reviewer or judge of others’ work.
• Original scientific, scholarly, or artistic contributions.
• Authorship of scholarly books or articles in distinguished journals.

• Less strict eligibility criteria, requiring only two “outstanding” achievements.
• No need for the PERM Labor Certification, which simplifies the application process compared to other employment-based green cards.

The primary disadvantage is that an EB-1B Green Card application must be filed by a U.S. employer. Unlike the EB-1A or NIW categories, applicants cannot file independently.
