EB-1(B) Outstanding Professor / Researcher Green Card
Overview
How can you make your EB1(b) Green Card?

An employer or prospective employer must apply for an EB-1B visa on behalf of the professor or researcher. To apply for an EB-1B visa, the professor or researcher must have a permanent job or job offer. If the candidate is living in the U.S., an application for a green card may be submitted with an adjustment of status if the Visa Bulletin shows that EB-1B number is currently available.
