In reply to the discussion: Melania Trump got green card through program for people with extraordinary ability: report [View all]FakeNoose
(39,979 posts)I don't, but I think I remember reading about this several years ago.
I believe that the EB-1 program is hard to qualify for because they put up many roadblocks and "special" qualifications. However if you know somebody who knows how to work the system, it's not all that tricky to get the EB-1 green card. They save it for celebrities who might have to wait on a long list of names under different qualifications (where the quotas are tighter.)
I'm wondering if maybe there's no quota for this EB-1 green card, perhaps they take none or as many as they feel like taking, but that's the part I'm not sure about. I've looked on the USCIS website and I can't find anything that tells how many EB-1 green cards are issued each year. I think that's because they don't want us to know.

There's a lot of info on the site concerning Citizenship and Immigration Services, but only one page is devoted to the EB-1 permit. Can someone enlighten me on this?
