Do I need to have an extremely high salary?

The EB-1 category, aimed at professionals with extraordinary abilities, evaluates the combination of achievements, recognition in the field, and significant contributions, and is not exclusively based on salary. Having a high salary can be an indicator of success, but it is not a mandatory requirement to demonstrate your professional excellence.

In the case of an EB-1 visa application, the focus is on presenting evidence that proves you stand out significantly in your area of expertise. This includes awards, publications, participation in international events, among other indicators of recognition.

Thus, if your professional background shows relevant and visible contributions in your field, it is not necessary to have an extremely high salary to meet the criteria. It is important to remember that, in all immigration processes, following the country’s laws and regulations is essential.

Seeking information from official sources and working with specialized professionals can help avoid mistakes and scams, as well as marketing campaigns that promise quick results without providing the necessary legal basis. Each case is evaluated individually, and the combination of various factors constitutes the final analysis by immigration authorities.

Therefore, if you are dedicated to your area and can demonstrate your achievements, you may have a favorable chance without relying exclusively on the amount of your salary.
