Overview
The EB-1 category encompasses three distinct subcategories: Extraordinary Ability (EB-1A), Outstanding Professors and Researchers (EB-1B), and Multinational Executives/Managers (EB-1C). Our firm helps clients evaluate the right category and organize evidence around the current government framework.
For the current government framework, review USCIS's EB-1 classification overview and the USCIS Policy Manual chapter on extraordinary ability. Those sources are the right starting point before making any EB-1A, EB-1B, or EB-1C filing decision.
If you are evaluating whether EB-1A is the right self-petition route, start with our EB-1A vs. EB-2 NIW comparison, our O-1 vs. EB-1A strategy guide to separate temporary extraordinary-ability planning from permanent-residence strategy, and our O-1 vs. EB-2 NIW decision guide if you are also weighing NIW against a temporary first step.
