Extraordinary Ability refers to either a:

• (EB-1) First Preference Employment-based Immigrant Petition (EB-1) to enable a foreign national to live and work permanently in the U.S.; or
• (O-1) Non-Immigrant Visa Petition to enable a foreign national to live and work temporarily in the U.S.
• The standards for both categories are very high and require substantial documentation of the individual’s international acclaim in the field of expertise.
