Which form is used to apply for EB-1?

The EB-1 visa is a highly relevant category for professionals who demonstrate extraordinary abilities or who have an outstanding professional background in their fields. This category is used both by individuals who stand out in their careers and by companies that wish to transfer executives or managers to the United States.

To initiate the EB-1 visa application process, the form used is the I-140, officially known as the “Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers”. This form must be completed and submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as part of the petition process, regardless of whether the application is self-petitioned (as in the case of individuals with extraordinary abilities) or through a job offer by an employer.

It is very important to emphasize the need to strictly follow the United States immigration laws and to pay attention to the instructions provided by the USCIS. Due to the complexity of the process, it is advisable for interested parties to seek guidance from trustworthy professionals and specialized immigration institutions, always being careful not to be misled by miracle promises or marketing campaigns that guarantee specific results. These measures help to avoid common traps and scams in the field.

Remember that each case has its particularities and, therefore, it is essential to have all the necessary documentation and comply with all the required criteria for success in the process. Transparency and respect for the rules are the best guarantees to move forward safely on the path to immigration to the United States with an EB-1 visa.
