Extraordinary Ability Green Card

nashville extraordinary ability green cardExtraordinary ability green cards (EB1) and nonimmigrant visas (O1, P2) are available for foreign nationals who have achieved recognition for outstanding achievement, and have demonstrated extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, athletics, business and education.  Applicants may be eligible for a green card based on EB1 extraordinary ability classification without a job offer or labor certification, and this visa includes family members.   To obtain an extraordinary ability classification for a green card, the applicant must have a level of expertise indicative of a leader in their field, and their work must continue to substantially benefit the United States.
