Only 1 association accepted me. Is it hard to say it is selective?

The EB-1 visa involves a very detailed analysis of the candidate’s merits, and in this context, associations that validate your expertise can be one of the elements that help prove this excellence.

Often, each association has specific criteria and, for some professionals, being accepted by a single institution can indeed be considered an indicator of selectivity, especially if this association is renowned and recognized in the field.

It is important to remember that selectivity is evaluated considering the context of your area of expertise and the reputation of the institution that accepted you. A highly esteemed association with rigorous admission processes can have significant value even if it is just one.

On the other hand, the impact of this recognition will depend on the complete set of evidence you present in your process, such as publications, awards, conferences, and other achievements.

When preparing the documentation for the EB-1, it is essential to strictly follow United States immigration laws and seek support from specialized professionals who are well-versed in these requirements. This way, you reduce the risks of falling for false promises of quick results or marketing campaigns that are not based on real approval criteria.

Each case has its particularities, and the ideal is to analyze all the elements that make up your professional profile for a more precise evaluation appropriate to your situation.
