    You’re way too qualified compared to those useless immigrants who get green cards due to diversity or chain migration. If EB1 doesn’t work out, explore those many other Nordic countries who will be willing to embrace you in a heart beat. This country is going to dogs with current immigration laws.

    You should be working with a legal team, but my take is that you might want to supplement your application with strong references.

    you will be fine with EB1b. My profile is not as good as yours and I got mine approved.

    Clear cut case of EB1B. You will be approved in a heart beat if Amazon is willing to sponsor. However, EB1A in Nebraska service center will be difficult to get with low citations

      Working remotely will help if your remote location is in one of the states served by TSC (Texas and New York as an example). So if you can give your remote location address which falls in TSC jurisdiction then it can get routed to TSC

      It is a combination of house and work location.

    EB1B seems doable but your profile would go to Nebraska making it tougher. EB1A is a no-no unless your application goes to Texas. I recently got an EB1A approval with a masters and close to 600 citations ( Texas) during application.
    On top of that, most lawyers wont take you lr EB1A case with reasonable confidence ( Approval or refund ) unless you have at least 350 citations
