While the above qualifications may seem strict, individuals should not be dissuaded from applying as there is typically room for interpretation. Additionally, in cases where the stated criteria do not apply, it is possible to submit evidence for similar or equivalent accomplishments that demonstrate an individual’s outstanding abilities. This is especially true for niche fields with relatively small communities where one or more of the above criteria may not exist. Our employment visa attorneys are highly knowledgeable of these requirements and work with clients to communicate the exact nature of their professional recognitions and accomplishments.
