The EB-1B visa is intended for outstanding international researchers who receive a job offer from institutions with recognized research activities.

Private companies conducting research in artificial intelligence can sponsor exceptional researchers, provided they demonstrate relevant experience, adequate infrastructure, and a consolidated track record in the field, as required by USCIS.

The success of the application depends on the researcher’s notoriety and the company’s credibility. It is recommended to strictly follow immigration laws, consult official sources, and seek experts to avoid misunderstandings and fraud.
