EB-1B
The EB-1B visa is a U.S. immigration category designed for outstanding professors and researchers. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate international recognition for their academic achievements and have at least three years of experience in teaching or research. This visa allows individuals to work in a permanent position at a U.S. university or research institution.
Unlike other visa categories, the EB-1B does not require a labor certification, making the application process faster. Applicants must provide evidence of their accomplishments, such as published work or awards, to support their case. This visa is part of the broader EB-1 category, which also includes EB-1A for extraordinary ability individuals and EB-1C for multinational managers.
