Question

Hello,

I am working on H1B in US. I recently got married to my girlfriend who was born in INDIA but holds a Canadian passport and has just completed her Phd in Biotechnology(AIDS research) from canada.

Is my wife eligible for green card in US under EB1?



Answer

Your wife very well could be eligible for EB1, however, I cannot make any assertions without reviewing her documents & knowing more about any potential petitioners, if she qualifies as an outstanding researcher, etc.

Also, if she is going to fall out of status soon, she needs to change her status to H-4. However, if she has OPT, or is planning on obtaining an OPT STEM extension, that is better for her.

She should have an experienced immigration attorney review her documents if she is interested in pursuing an EB1 petition.
