Is EB-1A Easier Than a Marriage-Based Green Card?
The path to a US permanent residency could be achieved either through a merit-based pathway or marriage ties. And, two great alternatives for the same are the EB-1A extraordinary ability green card and the marriage-based green card. Many aspirants often wonder which of the two paths they should take when they have both these options available.
