Secure Your EB-1 Green Card: Elite Memberships

Fast-Track Your U.S. Residency

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

Invited Membership Defined

Per 8 C.F.R. 204.5(h)(3)(ii), this category requires membership in elite associations demanding outstanding achievements, judged by national/international experts. Standard memberships (e.g., SAG, Equity) based on dues or exams don’t qualify.

Qualifying Memberships

Elite memberships, like the American or British Society of Cinematographers (ASC/BSC), require invitations or peer recognition for exceptional contributions. Higher-tier, invitation-only levels in organizations with strict by-laws meet USCIS standards.

Unlocking Your Potential

Overlooked elite memberships? We’ve helped clients secure prestigious memberships with peer letters, boosting EB-1 applications. Your unrecognized eligibility could be your key to a Green Card.
