What is EB-1B Green Card?
The EB-1B Green Card is an employment-based immigrant visa for outstanding professors and researchers who have international recognition in their academic field. This category allows qualified individuals to obtain permanent residence in the United States through sponsorship by a U.S. employer, typically a university, research institution, or private company with a strong research department.
The EB-1B category is part of the EB-1 priority worker classification and generally offers faster processing compared to many other employment-based green card categories.
Who Qualifies for EB-1B?
You may qualify for an EB-1B Green Card if:
- You are an outstanding professor or researcher
- You have international recognition in your academic field
- You have at least three years of teaching or research experience
- You have a permanent job offer from a U.S. employer
- The employer is a university, research institution, or qualifying private company
Unlike EB-1A, the EB-1B category requires employer sponsorship.

- Major academic awards or prizes

Meeting multiple criteria is usually necessary for approval.
