EB-1 for Extraordinary Ability

Nationwide Visa Lawyers for Performers and Athletes

If you are a talented performer, artist or athlete who has been awarded or very widely recognized for excellence in your field of endeavor, you may be able to petition for legal U.S. residency as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability. This category — EB-1 — is one of numerous immigrant visa types handled capably by our attorneys and specialists at the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth, A Professional Corporation. No matter where you are from, please contact us for dedicated immigration counsel and assistance.

Petitioning under this visa category does not require the sponsorship of an employer, as several other visa types do. However, an EB-1 visa petition does require very significant and widely recognized achievement in your pursuit — at the level of major symphony soloists, Olympic medal winners and artists who have won international awards.

Assembling Solid Documentation and References

Our complete immigration services are ideal for gifted, widely recognized individuals who would like to perform in the United States. We have been successful in numerous EB-1 visa petitions for musicians, athletes and others, and have also won difficult cases on appeal when necessary.

Documentation is critical to your EB-1 visa application, and our firm will help you assemble the most definitive proof available of your accomplishments. We can also help you determine whom to ask for the reference letters needed for your petition. Once we have gathered documentation that supports your EB-1 visa petition, you can trust our immigration law team to effectively present this information to U.S. immigration authorities.
