US Visa Thailand - Self-Petition Work Visa Thailand

In two classifications of immigrant workers, the workers are not required to have a job offer and may self-petition (the worker does not need an employer to sponsor them).  These categories include:

• Individuals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics, AND
  
• Individuals who were granted a National Interest Waiver (NIW).
  

Note: You may NOT self petition based on employment, if you are not in one of these two categories. For other employment based green cards, see the “Green Card Through a Job Offer” or “Green Card Through Investment” links to the left under “Green Card Through a Job.”

Individuals of extraordinary ability are considered to be the best of the best in their field and it is an eligibility category that applies to very few individuals.  Examples of who may be considered an E11 immigrant include Nobel Prize winners, notable athletes, and others who have achieved great successes in their field.
