However, to avoid the instability that comes with the H-1b visa, consider upgrading to an EB-1A visa.The EB-1A visa, also known as the “Extraordinary Ability” visa, has several significant benefits, such as faster processing times, exemption from the PERM labor certification process, and the ability to self-petition without the need for an employer sponsor. Contact our office to discuss the EB-1A eligibility criteria. If you already have an approved Form I-140 from your EB-2 PERM Labor Certification process, then you can keep that priority date for your EB-1A visa petition.

If you have such things as awards, accomplishments, and recognition in your field, you may qualify for this visa category. Contact us for help in determining whether this visa is for you.
