    노동허가가 생략되어 시간이 단축되는것 외에 EB1의 장점은 무엇인지요?

    => As far as I know, the process takes shorter time. that is all!

    For EB1 You do not need a sponsor or job. So you can save Labor Certification.

    So you go into second stage directly.

    전 불안하고 자격이 의심스러워 변호사한테 일반으로 가는걸

    자꾸 물어보니 왜 돌아가려고 하냐고 하더군요.

    변호사는 적극 EB1을 추천한다고 했습니다.

    밑에 검색을 해보니 노동허가도 같이 진행할수 있다고 들었는데

    그럴경우 변호사비는 이중으로 들어가야 하는지요?

    => Yes, you have to pay more.

    In fact, in my case, my lawyer also recommended, national interest waiver( EB2??).

    Usually EB1 is cheaper because you do not need to go through first stage (LC).

    Since the rest of the process is the same, the legal fee is not twice more.

    In my case, my lawyer asked me for $4000 for regular greencard process +

    $1500 for NIW process in case applying both at the same time (This is price 3 years ago).

    While I was waiting for LC( It took one year!),

    my NIW was denied so there was no problem in terms of time.

    Greencard has 3 stages. So if you do EB1 and regular greencard at the same time,

    you need to pay for regular greencard process fee + price for EB1 process(comparable to only stage2)

    SO if you have enough money then applying for both is not bad idea.

    You have to negotiate with your lawyer about legal fee! Paper preparations are very similar for

    both process so they do not need a lot of extra work!!

    I think that applying only for EB1 is risky! thesedays it takes even longer to process EB1 first stage.

    Athlete is one of category. Although I am not familiar with it, but I think that

    it might worth to try!

    참고로 저희가 상담한 변호사는 미국인 변호사이고 지역은 펜실베니아

    피츠버그이고 이 도시에서는 이분과 같이 일한 한국사람들이 많고

    지금도 진행중에 있는 사람들이 있고 같이 일했던 사람들의 평은

    아주 좋은걸로 들었습니다.

    => if he/she has good reputation, that is really important!

    Again, this is only matter of money. If you can afford it, apply both. There is nothing you can loose.

    Just my thought!
