Is self-petitioning allowed for EB-1A Green Card applications?
Yes. Unlike many other Green Cards through employment categories, you can sponsor yourself for EB-1A Green Card.
Fortunately, EB-1A Green Card processing time is much shorter than other Green Card categories for applicants changing their status to EB-1A, thanks mostly to the permission of self-petitioning. The average processing time of I-140 is one year.
It is possible to apply EB-1A under premium processing categories with additional payment.
Yes! Applicants who are not in a legal nonimmigrant status and reside outside of the U.S. can apply for EB-1A through consular processing, though this pathway is, unfortunately, longer than an adjustment of status. To learn more about consular processing, please visit Consular Processing .
