EB-1A: The EB1-A visa is for immigrants is a subsection of the EB-1 Green Card for employment for people who have risen to the very highest level of their field of work. A person with exceptional ability in the field of science, art, education, business, and athletics, may be eligible to obtain U.S. permanent residence under the EB1-A category.
