An applicant does not need an employer to file an EB-1A visa petition
Once the petition is approved, you and your family members receive Green Cards, which means permanent residency in the United States
If a number of requirements are met, 5 years after receiving a Green Card, one is allowed to apply for U.S. citizenship
Review in 15 calendar days upon payment of the expedited review fee
The EB-1A visa does not require approval from the U.S. Department of Labor
Ability to change your status to EB-1A if you are already in the U.S.
EB-1A is available to recipients of major awards or honors of international standing (e.g., Oscar, Olympic Medal, Pulitzer Prize, IPO of a company), OR foreign nationals who can demonstrate significant achievement in at least THREE of the following areas:
Employer Availability. Since the O-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa, the petition for an employee with extraordinary ability is prepared and filed by the employer. This is not required for the EB-1A immigrant visa because the petitioner is acting on his or her own behalf.
Difficulty of obtaining. For the EB-1A visa, the U.S. authorities hold the applicant to a higher standard of proof of impressive accomplishments, which makes it more difficult to obtain.
The applicant files a petition with the U.S. Immigration Department while in the country of residence, followed by an interview at the U.S. Consulate.
The petitioner files the petition while in the United States and in legal immigration status.

I applied to Artem's agency to obtain an EB-2 NIW immigrant visa. I applied and have never regretted it. From the very beginning of our communication Artem and his team made the best impression on me. At all stages of the case preparation they provided maximum assistance in information gathering, collection and preparation of letters, advice, and everything in general. All communication was as open, friendly and prompt as possible.
I also got the impression that what they were doing was as interesting to them as possible. It is interesting to develop, interesting to solve non-standard problems, interesting to learn something new. With this approach, the potential of these guys is almost limitless, they have a great future, you can see it and it is very encouraging. I am very glad that I was lucky to find this agency.
Yes, I forgot to say, the result of the case submission was approval, and from the first time.
I wish the whole agency team and Artem personally to conquer new heights, success and prosperity, you are great guys!
I have collaborated with Susanne Leone on numerous transactions and she is highly knowledgeable about company structures and property title arrangements, particularly for foreign nationals. She is an expert in her field and a pleasure to work with her.
If you're in need of an immigration lawyer, Artem is the go-to person. Particularly for digital businesses, Artem knows how to present your case in the best light possible, ensuring that you achieve maximum results. With two cases under my belt, both of which we won, I can attest that Artem knows precisely how to handle your case.
Susanne has been taking care of our company for more than 2 years now and we are very satisfied. She has assisted us in establishing a U.S. company and obtaining our U.S. work visas. All requests get answered quickly and professionally.
Mr. Artem was a very big help for my family during our immigration process. He made the process smooth, and fought for our rights. He had great communication skills and kept us in the loop the entire time. His judgement and points of view were phenomenal and taught us a lot of useful information. Highly recommend seeing this lawyer, if you are struggling to find the perfect immigration lawyer. He will do everything he can for you!
I can only recommend Susanne as a lawyer. She provided us with advice and support and assisted us in establishing our business in Florida. Susanne did not just offer simple consultations but worked with us to develop solutions and established the necessary contacts for our business.
Susanne also speaks German, which was particularly helpful for us in legal matters.
I enjoyed working with Susanne, and this is underscored by the fact that we are still working with her.
We contacted lawyer Artem Zhgun. He is a highly qualified specialist who helped us with our migration case in the USA quite quickly and efficiently!
Many thanks to Artem J. for his valuable consultation. It definitely changed our idea of how to go, where to go and what to do in the USA.
Susanne is a very professional attorney that helped our Swedish based company establish in the US. She is very experienced and we are very happy to work with her.
Really liked the approach to the case
Leone Zhgun, P.A. was a true support for us in the process of obtaining the E2 Visa. Not only did they handle the documentary preparation and meticulous compilation of necessary documents, but their advice was also extremely professional. The entire team, led by Artem, assisted us with all our questions, and if we didn't understand something, Susanne was able to translate from English to German. We were also well-prepared for the upcoming interview at the embassy. I can only recommend the firm and look forward to continuing our collaboration.
Susanne is awesome. She helped us a lot and you can ask her everything. She has a lot of contacts in the US. That is very helpful when you start a new life here. Thanks for all!
Прекрасная команда. Артем вёл наше дело по программе EB - 2 NIW. Все прошло благополучно и на 10/10. Всегда объективная грамотная консультация и помощь. Как итог, результат положительный. Однозначно, я бы очень рекомендовал команду Артема, однозначно, в дальнейшем я бы хотел , что бы он помогал в наших дальнейших шагах…!
Yes. There are two main visas for people with outstanding achievements - the O-1 visa and the EB-1A visa. If you have achieved widespread recognition in fields such as Science, Education, Business, Sports Arts, Film or Television, you should consider the O-1 or EB-1A visa.
The main difference is that the O-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that requires you to have an employer in the United States. That is, if you have an employer who petitions for your employment in the U.S. and it is approved, you can live and work for that employer in the U.S., but you will not have residency. The EB-1A visa does not require an employer, and by obtaining an EB-1A visa, you will receive U.S. residency (green card). It is important to note that the requirements for obtaining an EB-1A visa are substantially higher than for an O-1 visa.
There is a need for exclusivity and certain requirements/criteria for participants' outstanding achievements to be included in a professional organization.
It is important to demonstrate the rating and scale (reach) of the media, and additional expertise can also be used.
