Unless otherwise indicated,
the petition stated in this quotation refers to immigrant petition for Alien of
Extraordinary Ability under the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.
Immigrant visas are for
individuals seeking to immigrate to the U.S. and seeking permanent residence
(Green Card) may be available for job offers in identified occupations in which
U.S. workers are in short supply or in other specific categories. These
employment-based visas are divided by preference categories with specific
quotas, skill requirements and per-country caps.
An EB-1A immigrant visa is for aliens who have distinguished themselves
professionally in the field of sciences, arts, education, business or athletics
through sustained national or international acclaim. The said petition is a
self-petition thus does not require a prospect employer. However, the
petitioner or applicant needs to continue to work in their chosen field and
they must be substantially benefit prospectively in the U.S. This particular
petition falls under the first-preference employment-based petition, which has
40,040 annual immigrant visas allotted to it. Since there is currently no visa
backlog for this category and priority dates are current, this petition is
considered as the fastest mean in obtaining permanent residency (Green Card).
At the moment, it takes 22 – 25 months to obtain a Green Card through EB-1A
classification. Please note that the exact timeframe is subjected to the
processing time of relevant government agencies.
If the EB-1A petition is approved, family members of the principal
applicant are entitled to admission in the E-14 or E-15 immigrant status (Green
Card category). Included in this category is the spouse of the visa holder, as
well as minor unmarried children under the age of 21.
All applicants who meet the eligibility criteria
specified in the Section 3 of this quotation may apply for the EB-1A immigrant
classification in the United States.

Procedures After Approval |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
As soon as the USCIS
approves the EB-1A petition, the petition will be sent to the National Visa
Centre for consular processing. Note that the Immigration and Nationality Act
sets the number of immigrant visas the U.S. Department of State (DOS) can issue
to aliens seeking to become lawful permanent residents (get a Green Card) each
year. When the demand is higher than the supply of visas for a given year in
any given visa category or country, a visa queue forms. To distribute the visas
among all preference categories, DOS allocates the visas according to a
prospective immigrant’s preference category, country of chargeability, and
priority dates. When the priority date is “current”, immigrants may be able to
apply for an immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate if they are outside of the
U.S. Once the interview is conducted and an immigrant visa is issued, the
beneficiary should travel to the U.S. within 6 months. Upon entry into the
U.S., a permanent resident card (Green Card) will be issued. |
