I built Achievement Based Petitions because I lived the uncertainty myself. After years on an H-1B, tied to a company that couldn’t sponsor my green card during industry downturns, I realized something profound: my achievements were strong enough to speak for me — I just wasn’t telling my story the right way.
When I finally took ownership of my path, everything changed. My NIW approval unlocked freedom, mobility, and rapid career growth. That experience fuels my mission today: helping talented professionals turn their hard-won accomplishments into a powerful, approval-ready petition.
Depending on type and circumstances:
EB-1A (self-petition): Many cases are completed within a year if the paperwork is complete; with premium processing, it can be faster.
EB-2 NIW: This often takes 1–2 years overall (I-140 + final processing), though backlogs can extend this timeline.
EB-3 (skilled workers/nurses): From filing to final approval, the process often takes 2–5 years, depending on visa-number availability and country of origin.
EB-1A is for individuals with extraordinary ability. It allows you to self-petition, no U.S. employer or labor certification required.
EB-2 NIW is for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability whose work is in the U.S. national interest. It also permits self-petition and waives the job offer / PERM requirement under NIW.
EB-3 is for skilled workers, professionals, or other workers with a valid job offer from a U.S. employer. It typically requires employer sponsorship and labor certification.
Choose EB‑1A if you have documented, high-impact, top-tier achievements (publications, awards, recognized contributions) and want the most straightforward path. You can self-petition, no PERM required, and visa priority tends to be faster.
Choose EB‑2 NIW if you hold advanced credentials or exceptional ability and your work (research, innovation, public health, etc.) can be framed as benefiting U.S. national interest, even without celebrity-level acclaim.
Choose EB‑3 when you have a bona fide U.S. employer ready to sponsor you (typical for skilled workers or nurses), especially if you don’t meet the high standards required for EB-1A or NIW.
No, you do not need to stay with the same job or employer.
Both EB-1A and EB-2 NIW allow self-petitioning and do not require employer sponsorship or labor certification. After you obtain your green card under those categories, you are not contractually “tied” to any employer.
Yes. If you are outside the U.S., after the I-140 is approved, you will go through consular processing at a U.S. embassy/consulate. But if you are in the U.S. legally, you may instead file for adjustment of status (I-485), provided a visa number is available.
