US Elite Visa

Types of US elite visa

Types of elite visa of the United States include the following two categories:

• Immigrant elite visa: the EB1 visa
• Non-immigrant elite visa: the O visa

• US elite visa, EB type
  

Also known as the Einstein visa, this type of visa is employment-based, i.e. Employment Base, abbreviated as EB, and ultimately leads to permanent residence (a US Green Card). People who immigrate to the country through this route will have an ideal environment for their talents to flourish. This type of visa itself has several different types.

• US elite visa, O type
  

This type of visa is temporary and non-immigrant; talented and capable people in the fields of science, art, education and business, animation, television and so on can use this type of visa to pursue particular achievements. Because this visa is non-immigrant, it is easier to obtain.

Differences between the types of US elite visa

• The difference in their categorisation
• The applicant's length of stay
• The talent and ability of EB1 visa holders must be much greater and better than those of the other type of US elite visa.
