EB-1 Green Card – Major Internationally Recognized Award

Welcome to our EB-1 Green Card video series. In this presentation, we’ll explore the EB-1 Green Card category for “Major Internationally Recognized Awards.”

The EB-1 Green Card is designed for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability, meaning they’ve reached the pinnacle of their profession. One of the clearest ways to prove this is by showing you’ve received an internationally recognized award. If we can present this evidence to meet the standards set by U.S. Immigration, you could qualify for an EB-1 Green Card.

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.

The takeaway here is that if you’ve received a major award—whether recently or decades ago—it might make you eligible for an EB-1 Green Card without you even realizing it. During consultations, we often discover that clients overlooked awards they won years ago that could play a pivotal role in their application.

To determine if your award qualifies, reach out to us with the details. We’ll assess whether your award alone meets the criteria or if additional evidence is needed to strengthen your case.
We hope this presentation has provided valuable insights into the Major International Award category. In our next video, we’ll explore the National Award category in more detail.
