The EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability) visa offers several key advantages for individuals with exceptional achievements in fields such as science, arts, education, business, or athletics. One of its greatest benefits is that it does not require a job offer or employer sponsorship, giving applicants the flexibility to work for any U.S. employer or pursue independent projects. Additionally, the priority processing time is typically faster than other green card categories, and applicants may also self-petition, making it ideal for entrepreneurs, researchers, and professionals at the top of their field.
