For EB-1B, 2 or 3 or 6 criteria?

The EB-1B is intended for professors and researchers who have international recognition for their academic contributions and requires the applicant to prove their excellence by meeting specific criteria defined by the United States immigration authorities.

In this case, for the EB-1B, the applicant is required to present evidence that satisfies at least 2 (two) of the 6 established criteria. These criteria include, among others, recognition through important awards, membership in associations that require notable achievements, relevant publications, or participation as a reviewer of other professionals’ work in the field.

Providing evidence that exceeds the minimum of 2 criteria can certainly strengthen the petition, but the central requirement is to demonstrate professional excellence through at least 2 of these points. It is essential to remember that the interpretation and evaluation of the criteria depend on the complete set of evidence presented and on the analysis of the responsible immigration agency.

For this reason, it is important to strictly follow United States immigration laws and seek guidance from reliable and specialized sources, avoiding scams and promises of results that may be offered by dubious marketing campaigns. Regularity and clarity in the presentation of documents and evidence are essential to increase the chances of a positive evaluation of the petition.

Remembering that, even without the aim of providing specific advice, understanding the general requirements can be an important first step to prepare. Taking care of documentation, paying attention to details, and using official information are actions that contribute to a safer immigration process based on the law.
