The EB-1A visa is intended for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in their fields, allowing self-petitioning without the need for a job offer in the US.
Unlike other employment-based visas, it is not necessary to be affiliated with an American institution or company to start the process. However, it is essential to present a clear plan to continue practicing your specialty in the US, demonstrating the intention of ongoing contribution to your field.
The immigration process is complex and requires strict compliance with American laws, so consulting qualified experts is recommended. Beware of miracle promises that do not follow legal protocols.
Following the laws and seeking reliable information is essential for success in the immigration process.
