Secure Your EB-1 Green Card: Major Awards

Fast-Track Your U.S. Residency

Welcome to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s EB-1 Green Card series! We’re thrilled to guide top professionals to permanent U.S. residency through extraordinary achievements.

Major Internationally Recognized Awards

The EB-1 Green Card targets those at their profession’s pinnacle. A major international award—like an Oscar, Grammy, Nobel Prize, or Fields Medal—proves your extraordinary ability. Awards from any country, like a prestigious national honor, qualify if globally respected.

Qualifying Awards

Qualifying awards span nearly every profession. Some of the most well-known examples come from the entertainment industry, like the Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, Emmys, SAG Awards, and Golden Globes. But remember, you don’t need to win an American award to qualify. As long as the award is widely respected on an international level, it can be a strong basis for your EB-1 petition. Gathering and presenting this evidence is an essential and often creative process.

In the sciences, for example, awards like the MacArthur Fellowship, Fields Medal, Bancroft Prize, and Nobel Prize exemplify what qualifies. These aren’t just honors conferred by individual universities but are recognized nationally or internationally as indicators of extraordinary achievement. Similarly, awards like the Pulitzer Prize in journalism hold global prestige.

It’s important to note that awards from any country can qualify. U.S. Immigration recognizes that each country has its own ways of celebrating exceptional talent. Many EB-1 petitions are based on awards that might not be familiar in the U.S. but are highly esteemed within the recipient’s home country or professional field.

In marketing and media, for instance, awards often serve as a definitive measure of extraordinary talent. Winning such an award can distinguish an individual or agency as truly exceptional.

Even awards won years ago can anchor your EB-1 petition. Our creative evidence presentation ensures USCIS recognition.
