How to Get EB1A Approval WITHOUT Citations!
Think you need hundreds of citations or a PhD to get an EB1A green card? Think again. In this video, US immigration lawyer Loren Locke breaks down exactly how applicants have successfully gone through the EB1A visa process—without any academic publications, research papers, or scholarly citations. If you're a professional with a strong track record outside of academia, this episode will show you how the EB1A process can still work in your favor.
Many believe that the EB1A immigration pathway is only for professors, researchers, or scientists, but that's simply not true. The USCIS recognizes a wide range of achievements under the extraordinary ability category. If you're an entrepreneur, business executive, creative professional, or industry leader, there are compelling ways to meet the EB1A criteria—without relying on citations or a PhD. We’ll talk about qualifying based on high salary, critical roles, and major contributions to your field.
We also compare how the EB1A green card process stacks up against the EB2 NIW (National Interest Waiver), and explain when each may be more suitable depending on your career path and timing. Whether you’re on an H1B visa, planning your next step in the USA visa journey, or looking to transition from another category, this video will help clarify your options and your chances.
