Can two professors/researchers apply for EB-1B with the same job offer? Is it possible?

The EB-1B category is intended for professors and researchers who have recognized excellence in their field and have a job offer from a U.S. educational or research institution. This option aims to recognize significant contributions to academia or research.

Regarding your question, yes, it is possible for two professors or researchers to file EB-1B petitions using the same job offer, provided that each individually meets the specific requirements of this visa. Each candidate must demonstrate substantial achievements and be internationally recognized in their area, regardless of whether they share the same job offer with another colleague.

In practice, this means that although the job offer is part of the process, the main evaluation criterion will be the individual merit of each professor or researcher. It is important to highlight that the process involves a careful review of documents and evidence related to each candidate’s professional trajectory.

Therefore, even if the job offer is identical, each case is evaluated independently by immigration authorities, considering aspects such as publications, awards, citations, and impactful contributions to the field of expertise.

We also emphasize the importance of complying with U.S. immigration laws, always seeking advice from reliable sources and avoiding any proposals or marketing campaigns that promise quick or guaranteed results. Careful preparation and compliance with all requirements are fundamental to the success of any immigration process.
