What is the EB1-B Visa?
The EB-1B visa is intended for professors and researchers who have demonstrated international recognition for their outstanding achievements in a particular academic field. This visa category allows universities, research institutions, and private employers with established research departments to sponsor these distinguished individuals. Unlike the EB-1A visa, the EB-1B requires a job offer from a qualifying employer and does not allow for self-petitioning
