Einstein Visa (EB1-A category)

Question details

I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the USA. However, I thought one needed a permanent tenure-track position to qualify for the EB-1 visa category. Is that not so?

The Einstein visa (EB1-A category) is different from the outstanding researcher or professor (EB-1B)
category. A job offer is not necessary for an EB1-A petition.

Einstein Visa Category

Question details

I read your article on the Einstein visa category. I am a foreign-trained Medical Doctor. I have an article that was published in a scientific magazine. Do you think l will qualify for this visa category?
 

Publishing a single article is unlikely to be even close to qualifying, unless the article has been published in an extremely high impact journal.
