First Preference EB-1 Visa

The United States government allows people to immigrate to America for many different purposes, such as familial ties or to seek asylum. One popular reason to come to the U.S. is for employment. In fact, the government divides up employment-based immigration into several different levels so that it can better recognize the immigrants’ purposes for coming to the U.S.

Some potential immigrants are more appealing to the U.S. government than others. However, even for preferred candidates, the immigration application process can still be confusing and difficult. To help you reach your goal of American residence, contact a qualified Orange County immigration attorney from Garg & Associates, P.C. at 949-540-6704 today.

People Eligible for “First Preference”

There are certain people who are placed in the “first preference” category for employment-based immigration. Within the first preference employment-based immigration group, there are several different levels under which you can apply. These include:

• Extraordinary ability – must demonstrate extraordinary skills but no may not have an offer of employment

• Outstanding professors and researchers – must demonstrate impressive achievement and have an offer of employment

• Multinational manager or executive – must have employing company petition for immigration

For “extraordinary ability” immigrants as well as outstanding professors or researchers, the government requires that you meet certain requirements in order to prove why you are a “first preference” immigrant. Some examples of this necessary proof include:

• Major prize for achievement in your field
• Published material written about you by others
• Examples of your own published research or work

Sometimes, it may be difficult to prove that you are truly a “first preference” immigrant. For help with your case, you should consult an Orange County immigration attorney today.
