Is there a backlog for EB-1A?

The EB-1A category is intended for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability in fields such as sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. Generally, this category has the advantage of being considered “current” in the Visa Bulletin, which means that, in most cases, there is no significant backlog or waiting list for applicants who fall under this category.

However, it is worth noting that conditions may vary over time, as the volume of cases and policies of the United States Immigration Department are subject to change. Even though EB-1A is currently free of delays, it is important to follow official updates, periodically review the Visa Bulletin, and confirm information through reliable sources.

Finally, I always emphasize the importance of strictly following immigration laws and seeking information from specialized professionals or companies. In this way, it is possible to avoid risks, scams, and misleading promises that often circulate out there. Staying well informed is the first step to making safe decisions in the migration process to the United States.
