I am a researcher in a company. Does EB-1B require 2 or 3 years of teaching experience?

The EB‑1B is a category designed to recognize internationally outstanding researchers and professors, and therefore, the experience requirements are quite specific.

In general terms, to qualify under this category, it is necessary to prove at least three years of experience in teaching or research in the relevant field. In the specific case of researchers working in the industry, the three-year criterion usually applies to demonstrate expertise in an academic or research environment.

This means that even if your work in the company is high-level and widely recognized, it must be evidenced that you have devoted at least three years to roles that fall within teaching or research activities.

It is important to gather and organize documents that prove this experience, such as reports, publications, letters of recommendation, and other records that can attest to your expertise.

Remember that each case has its particularities, and the details of the required documentation may vary. Therefore, it is essential to strictly follow the US immigration rules and seek guidance from reliable sources, avoiding information from unofficial sources or miraculous promises of easy results.

Staying informed and based on current legislation is crucial for the security of your application process.

If you have more specific questions or need a more in-depth evaluation of your professional history, the recommendation is to consult specialized sources that can offer a detailed analysis always based on official immigration regulations. This is the best way to ensure that all requirements are met correctly and completely.
