Before filing EB1A, make sure nothing is missing. Get the 25-document checklist used to organize evidence and avoid costly RFEs.
No PhD. No publications. Learn how engineers, founders, and industry experts can still qualify for an EB1A through impact, leadership, and recognition.
Remote job? Remote employees can still qualify for EB1A. What matters is proven impact, industry recognition, and evidence of extraordinary ability—not where you work.
Both reward extraordinary ability, but the paths are very different. Learn whether O-1A or EB1A makes more sense first based on your goals, timing, and profile strength.
