EB-1A extraordinary ability green card — eligibility check

EB-1A is a US immigrant visa (green card) for people at the very top of their field. You can self-petition. Meeting three of ten criteria is necessary, not sufficient — USCIS still does a final merits review.

This check compares EB-1A with temporary options such as O-1A. It does not review exhibits and does not estimate approval probability.

Questions cover career stage, international recognition, and whether you want permanent residence now versus temporary work authorization first.

Educational only — not a filing recommendation, not legal advice, and not an approval prediction.

Questions below start from this visa’s destination and goal. You can change any answer.
