Due to the lack of a reciprocal data-sharing agreement, Venezuelan EB-1B applicants may experience increased scrutiny. U.S. immigration authorities will likely rely more heavily on expanded internal database searches and secondary screening to fulfill the order's mandate for heightened public safety vetting.
The policy change increases the financial burden on Venezuelan applicants who choose to pay for faster adjudication. Visa availability for Venezuela in the EB-1 category remains current.
Pursuant to Section 3(d), the entry of Venezuelan nationals as immigrants remains suspended. This restriction prevents Venezuelan researchers and academics from utilizing the EB-1B category to obtain lawful permanent residency if they are currently outside the United States and do not hold a valid visa.
Enhanced vetting requirements may make it more difficult for Venezuelan applicants to provide the verified documentation USCIS now requires. This could lead to significant delays in proving 'outstanding' status.
Venezuelan applicants will be required to pay the higher FY 2026 fees. Given the economic situation in Venezuela, the increase in USD filing fees may represent a more significant relative cost.
