Secure Your EB-1 Green Card: National Awards

Unlock Your U.S. Residency with Achievements

Welcome to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s EB-1 Green Card series! We’re thrilled to guide top professionals to permanent U.S. residency through the National Awards category.

National Awards Defined

Per 8 C.F.R. 204.5(h)(3)(i), this category requires “lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence.” Unlike major awards (e.g., Oscars, Nobel Prize), these can include national honors or age-based distinctions (e.g., “Best Under 30”). Awards must reflect competitive prestige, not just internal recognition.

Building a Winning Case

Our meticulous preparation turns awards into powerful EB-1 evidence. First-place wins or notable nominations with media coverage strengthen your case. We’ve secured approvals for clients dismissed by others, using strategic evidence to meet USCIS’s high standards.

Evaluate Your Awards

Revisit your career for overlooked accolades—sports medals, media honors, or medical awards. Gather details (online sources work) to prove national/international significance. Even nominations may support the “Media Attention” category.
