Jasmine Kamboj about EB1 processing

“One of my friends and colleagues asked me to discuss EB1 processing so I decided I’d create a post about it so everyone can benefit from my experience.

In addition to helping the IMGs who walk long ways to get to Green card, I believe this might help mitigate issues around Rural Health care and workforce shortages as well..

For those who dont know, EB1 is the extraordinary ability category created by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS); while the regular H1B visa goes through EB2 processing that can take several years for immigrants from certain countries, EB1 processing garners shorter processing times.

I am an Indian immigrant, who trained on J1 Visa and did waiver; the wait period for Indians for permanent residency can be >10 years. I am sharing my personal experience and some relevant points that helped me file and successfully get to EB1 processing and hence permanent residency.. (Not all might be applicable for you and this is not a legal advice, just my own experience)..Good luck..”

Nazli Dizman, Hematology/Oncology Fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared this post on X, adding:

“Thanks so much Jasmine Kamboj for taking the time to share your experience! This is a crucial resource for all IMG trainees.

7 The key is to learn these nuances as early as possible and try to tailor research and volunteering activities accordingly.”
