The EB-1 green card is one of the fastest methods for obtaining the U.S. permanent residency among all the employment-based options. The EB-1 is the first-preference employment-based green card category. Annually, a total of 140,000 applicants receive green cards under the employment-based rank and each country is only capable of collecting 7% (9,800) of the 140,000 cap.

There are five different employment-based (EB) categories. The first is EB-1 which is classified for individuals that are “priority workers,” granting them first preference in acquiring a green card. The EB-1 Green Card is premised around extraordinary skills regarding the participant’s occupation.

We have experience in assisting clients to obtain an immigrant visa or US residency/Green Card, which permits individuals to reside permanently reside in the United States. US Legal Permanent Residency or a “Green Card” is generally available for certain family members of US citizens and US residents via a family-based green card petition, specifically for: spouses, children, step-children, parents and brothers/sisters of US citizens; spouses and children of U.S. residents or green card holders; as well as for those being sponsored by an employer through an employment based green card/residency petition.

At IFightIce, our green card attorneys work together with you and your family members or employer to identify and minimize potential issues and resolve them before applying for any petition, so that when your case is filed with USCIS, it is in the best shape to obtain approval. This will also help make the process more efficient and smoother for a less stressful experience.
