This flowchart delineates the key differences among the EB1A, EB1B, and EB1C employment-based green card categories, each catering to distinct professional qualifications. The EB1A is designed for individuals with extraordinary ability in their field, allowing self-petition without the need for employer sponsorship. The EB1B targets outstanding professors and researchers who must secure a permanent job offer and employer sponsorship. Meanwhile, the EB1C is tailored for multinational executives and managers who have been employed by a qualifying foreign company for at least one year, requiring a job transfer to a related U.S. company. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for navigating the U.S. immigration process.
