EB 1A Process for Athletes and Coaches Sherrod Sports Visas

Описание: There are two portions of the EB-1A Application; the EB-1A Petition Extraordinary Ability Visa and then the Permanent Residence Application.


There are two options for filing fees:

$700 for regular processing which would make the total $10,700 for this option. This option takes an average of 8-16 months
For an extra $2500, premium processing is available for 15 day maximum responses from USCIS. The total for this option is $13,200.

The second portion of the application is the Permanent Residence Application. There are two options to do this. Most clients just choose regular processing because the Adjustment of Status cannot be expedited.


Adjustment of Status for EB-1A Petition

The adjustment of status can only be filed while a person is in the United States. The application can be submitted at the same time as the EB-1A or after the EB-1A is approved.

A person that filed for adjustment of status cannot travel outside of the United States until their “Advance Parole” is granted. Advance Parole is the authorization for travel that is granted with form I-131 which is typically submitted with the I-485 Adjustment of Status petition. In addition, there is typically an application for work authorization with form I-485. Both the advance parole and work authorization can take an average of 8-12 months to be approved.


The adjustment of status application itself can take an average of 12-16 months to be approved or even longer.


Consular Processing for Permanent Residence for applicants outside the US


Persons that wait until their EB-1A petition is approved can perform consular processing for their permanent residence. Instead of sending an application to USCIS, the visa is processed at the National Visa Center and an interview is performed overseas.


The applicant must wait for an immigrant visa to become available at their consular post and for an interview to be scheduled. The timeline for consular processing can be difficult to predict but it is normal for 4-9 months to complete the process.
