We recently got another EB-1A (aliens of extraordinary ability) approval for a senior software engineer in the field of digitization. This type of visa is a streamlined pathway to permanent residency for engineering professionals who have reached the top of their fields. Read on to learn more about this exciting visa category, how to qualify for it, and how to gather the right evidence to support your application.

The requirements for an eb1a software engineer are much more rigorous than those of an H-1B. While the H-1B focuses on whether or not the position is considered a specialty occupation, the EB-1A requires that the applicant have “extraordinary abilities” in their field. Generally speaking, this means sustained national or international acclaim and extensive documentation of your achievements and impact. This could include publications, awards, memberships in significant associations relevant to your field, patents and other contributions of significance.
