I work at an NGO and do not have a high salary. How can I prove ‘high salary’?

The EB-1 visa is intended for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in their field of expertise. One of the criteria to prove such excellence is to show significantly high remuneration compared to professionals in the same field.

If you work at an NGO and your salary does not meet this requirement, there are other ways to satisfy the criterion. You can present benefits, bonuses, awards, and other extra compensations.

Additionally, evidence of the importance and recognition of your work, such as publications and participation in conferences, is also valid. It is recommended to demonstrate salary comparability through market reports and expert statements.

It is essential to strictly follow U.S. immigration laws, consult reliable specialists, and carefully organize the documentation to build a robust and convincing portfolio.
