My position was substitute teacher. Can it qualify for EB-1B?

The EB-1B visa is intended for professors and researchers with significant international or national recognition and an outstanding career. It requires, among other criteria, at least three years of experience in teaching or research and evidence of relevant academic contributions.

For those who worked as substitute teachers, it is essential to evaluate the context of the experience. Temporary positions without permanent ties may complicate proving the required level.

However, significant merits, participation in important projects, or academic awards can strengthen the profile. Each case is unique, and success depends on the quality of the evidence presented.

It is crucial to comply with US immigration laws, seek specialized professional guidance, and avoid facilitated promises. Carefully assessing the documentation and obtaining updated information is essential for a consistent case.
