Given the security-focused nature of the order, applicants from Pakistan are likely to face more intensive screening of their criminal and background records. This could result in a higher rate of administrative processing delays for those seeking extraordinary ability status.
Pakistani nationals applying for extraordinary ability visas will face higher costs for 15-day processing. This adjustment is consistent with fee increases across all non-backlogged countries.
The policy update helps Pakistani professionals in sports that may be less common in the U.S. to understand how their international awards and memberships are weighted. This provides a more level playing field for athletes from diverse sporting backgrounds.
Applicants from Pakistan may experience longer adjudication windows as USCIS applies more rigorous background and credential vetting to EB-1A extraordinary ability claims.
Pakistani applicants will face the new fee structure for I-140 petitions starting in FY 2026. This change is administrative and does not reflect any change in visa availability or processing priority for Pakistan.
