Why EB1A?
- green card without an employer (self-petition) – EB1A doesn’t require a job offer
- not directly tied to one specific employer – change of the jobs possible (applicant must stay within the same field of endeavor)
- fast processing time – premium processing eligible, priority dates might be current at certain part of the season (even for people from China and India)
