The EB-1A Visa has the most stringent requirements among all green card categories, making it difficult for many applicants to qualify. For example, you must be in the top percentile in different fields to qualify.

The EB-2 visa requirements are relatively lower than the EB-1, making it a more accessible option for more applicants. The EB-1 is reserved for individuals with the highest recognition and achievements in their fields.

This visa category is all about making your case if you have the basics checked. Na you go still tell them say, based on this and that, I belong in the top percentile of individuals in this field. If you meet at least three of the 10 criteria and have the evidence to support your case, don't let that top percentile thing discourage you. About 70% of applications in this category get approved as compared to over 80% for EB2, yet for some individuals, making a case for EB1 is easier than for EB2. I honestly believe that if someone meets those criteria, making a case for EB1 is much easier than making it for EB2.

Does anyone know when to expect IL for EB1 that has been DQ since Oct 24?
Who knows the average timeline for EB1 DQ to IL, or which DQ month has gotten IL recently for EB1?
Or is the timeline the same for all the EB categories?

The IV scheduling tool shows that Lagos is in March 2023 for EB1. If I were you, I would transfer my case to another country instead of wasting all that time waiting. Use the IV tool and find countries that are current. I think I saw Benin was in July 2025 as well as Cameroon and a few other countries for EB1.

You can transfer to Togo or Benin Republic. It's easier to get their resident permit .

I read on this Facebook group for family-based visas that you don't need a resident permit to transfer to these west African countries. Maybe at some point in the past you did, but the consensus was, you don't anymore.
