EB-1 Green Card Overview & Benefits

EB-1 Green Card Overview & Benefits

The EB-1 Green Card, also called the Employment-Based First Preference visa, is designed for priority workers. It allows highly accomplished individuals including those with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and multinational executives or managers to obtain U.S. permanent residency more quickly than most other green card categories. Unlike many employment-based visas, EB-1 petitions often do not require labor certification, making the process faster and more flexible.
