The EB-1 Visa Category

Sometimes called the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 visa is designed for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability and sustained acclaim in their field.

The EB-1 visa category includes three subtypes:

EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability): for individuals who have reached the top of their field in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.
EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers): for recognized academic leaders.
EB-1C (Multinational Managers and Executives): for high-level professionals managing or directing international operations.

While most of the EB-1 Expert Opinion Letters we develop are for EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability) petitions, our team and experts also support the EB-1B and EB-1C categories. Each letter is crafted with attention to the nuances and evidentiary requirements unique to its classification.

RFE de ocupaciones especializadas, en profundidad

The EB visa category was introduced as part of the bipartisan Immigration Act of 1990.

Its signors understood that the U.S. becomes more successful when talented people make contributions here.

What does an EB-1 Expert Opinion Letter Assess?

To qualify for an EB-1 visa, a petitioner must demonstrate that they are a person of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics—and that their proposed work in the U.S. is within the same or a closely related discipline.

It is common, for example, for our clients to have backgrounds in areas that a USCIS officer may not immediately recognize as aligned to their professional endeavor.

Our distinguished experts help clarify and bridge that gap using a research-based, yet accessible, approach.

Based on these requirements, ProfVal’s team and experts collaboratively craft a comprehensive interpretation of your credentials that aligns with USCIS criteria for extraordinary ability.

Your letter will include an in-depth analysis of achievements such as:

Awards and Recognitions: National or international honors demonstrating exceptional ability.
Exclusive Memberships: Participation in associations requiring outstanding achievements.
Published Materials: Articles, profiles, or features written about your work.
Scholarly Contributions: Books, research papers, or other recognized publications.
Additional Evidence: Any documentation demonstrating your sustained acclaim and impact within your field.

Final Merits

Our EB-1A Expert Opinion Letters include a comprehensive discussion of your background, connecting your achievements to the USCIS’s final merits determination. This ensures that your professional story is not only supported by evidence but also presented in a cohesive, strategic narrative.

Why do we do this?

Increasingly (2024 & 2025), we have observed that even EB-1A petitioners who meet four or more criteria have been questioned based on final merits.

This stage of the adjudication process allows USCIS officers to make a qualitative assessment, evaluating whether, despite meeting multiple criteria, the evidence truly establishes that the petitioner has achieved a level of extraordinary ability comparable to others at the very top of their field.

In other words, meeting the numerical threshold is not always sufficient; the final merits analysis focuses on the overall impact, originality, and recognition of the individual’s contributions.

ProfVal’s experts consider this when developing each letter, ensuring that your (or your client's) accomplishments are framed based on this approach.

A Note of Caution

In recent years, social media personalities and unverified consultants have suggested that applicants “build their profile” for EB-1 or EB-2 NIW petitions by, for example, publishing in predatory journals or participating in questionable associations. Such actions can undermine the integrity of your petition.

At ProfVal, our experts prioritize accuracy and integrity. Each independent and well-recognized expert provides an objective assessment of your accomplishments, including publications and citations, based on verifiable and objective criteria. This ensures that your petition reflects genuine merit and aligns with the high evidentiary standards set by USCIS.
