Don't have publications or research experience yet? No problem. Learn how to build the academic and research profile needed to qualify for the EB-1B outstanding researcher category.
Building an EB-1B profile from scratch takes 2-4 years of dedicated effort. This isn't about shortcuts or guarantees—it's about building genuine research credentials that will serve your career for life. If you're looking for quick fixes, this isn't for you.
A realistic roadmap for building research credentials from the ground up
Strengthen your educational background, identify research interests, and begin connecting with academic communities. This phase focuses on learning research methodologies and identifying your niche.
Start contributing to research projects, collaborate with established researchers, attend conferences, and begin documenting your work. This is where you transition from learning to doing.
Focus on producing quality research output: peer-reviewed papers, conference presentations, and technical reports. Quality over quantity is crucial for EB-1B standards.
Establish yourself as a recognized expert through peer review activities, speaking engagements, awards, and industry recognition. This phase builds the "outstanding" credentials.
Secure qualifying employment with a research organization and prepare your EB-1B petition with comprehensive evidence of your outstanding researcher status.
"Success in EB-1B isn't about gaming the system—it's about becoming the researcher you need to be."

Yes, but it requires commitment. Many successful EB-1B applicants started with no research background. The key is systematically building credentials through education, publications, and recognition. It typically takes 2-4 years of focused effort.
Beyond our services, expect costs for: additional education ($5k-50k), conference attendance ($2k-5k/year), research materials, potential salary reduction if switching to research roles, and legal fees ($5k-15k). Total investment: $15k-100k over 2-4 years.
While there's no guarantee, the skills and credentials you build have value beyond immigration. You'll have genuine research expertise, publications, and a professional network. Many find their career prospects significantly improved regardless of visa outcomes.
It's challenging but possible. Many of our clients maintain tech jobs while building research profiles through part-time PhD programs, industry research projects, or collaborations with academic institutions. Expect 10-20 hours/week commitment initially.
We focus on genuine skill building, not application tricks. Our approach is educational and long-term. We're honest about challenges and timelines. We don't promise quick fixes or guaranteed outcomes—we help you become a legitimate outstanding researcher.
STEM fields (computer science, engineering, biotech, AI/ML) often have more opportunities, but success is possible in any field with research potential. The key is finding active research communities and publication opportunities in your area of expertise.
If we don't think EB-1B is realistic for your situation, we'll tell you upfront. We'd rather disappoint you early than take your money for false hope.
