Knowledge is power; planning equals success.

Individuals with extraordinary ability in business do not need a job offer or sponsorship from a U.S. company. 

If you have demonstrated exceptional talent and achievements in the business sector, you may qualify for U.S. permanent residency through self-sponsored categories. These pathways enable you to apply for a Green Card without the necessity of a job offer or employer sponsorship, offering greater autonomy in your immigration journey.

Qualifications for Self-Sponsored Permanent Residency: 

To be eligible, you must exhibit extraordinary ability in business, characterized by exceptional talent, achievements, and expertise. This includes a high level of skill, innovation, and success in various aspects of your field, such as leadership, management, and strategic decision-making. Individuals with extraordinary ability often have a significant impact on their industry through groundbreaking ventures, transformative ideas, or outstanding accomplishments.

Recognition by U.S. immigration authorities requires evidence of a major internationally recognized award, such as a Nobel Prize; or at least three of the following criteria:

  • High Salary: Evidence of commanding a high salary in relation to others in the field. 
  • Employment in a Critical or Essential Capacity: Serving in a critical role for distinguished organizations. 
  • National or International Awards: Receipt of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence. 
  • Membership in Associations: Membership in associations that require outstanding achievements, as judged by recognized experts. 
  • Published Material About the Applicant: Evidence of published material in professional publications written by others about the applicant’s work. 
  • Original Contributions of Major Significance: Evidence of the applicant’s original scientific, scholarly, or business-related contributions of major significance to the field. 
  • Authorship of Publications: Authorship of scholarly articles in professional journals or major media. 
  • Judging the Work of Others: Participation, either individually or on a panel, as a judge of the work of others in the same or allied field. 

Advantages of Self-Sponsored Permanent Residency: 

  • Autonomy: Apply independently without relying on a U.S. employer, university, or college. 
  • Expedited Process: Certain categories offer faster processing times due to priority classifications. 
  • Family Inclusion: Your immediate family members may also obtain permanent residency, allowing for a unified relocation.
