How to Build Your EB-1A Profile (in 2025)

How to build your EB-1A profile:

1. Get involved in professional organizations to meet more top professionals in your field. A lot of them will be involved in opportunities that you may want to target as well to showcase your expertise, acclaim, and/or impact on your field.

2. Speak at conferences, which can be a great way to find membership and judging opportunities (by joining the organizing committees of conferences at which you speak, helping with reviewing speaker proposals, etc.).

3. Start publishing in top industry publications. Publishing in them helps with authorship and could lead to judging (reviewing submissions for the publication) as well as membership opportunities (editorial positions).
