Extraordinary Ability Visas

Green Cards and Nonimmigrant Visas for Individuals with Extraordinary Abilities

You do not need to be the best in your field – you only need to be at the top of your field.

No petitioner or offer of employment is required.

You can apply for a self-petitioned green card without a U.S. sponsor or specific offer of U.S. employment if you qualify as an extraordinary individual.

If you are interested in legal representation with this process, or you would like to find out more information, please complete our Extraordinary Ability Visa Questionnaire Form, or view our Frequently Asked Questions and Application Process sections.
