人不在美国，有approved EB1A I140,要通过consular processing 申请一个移民签证E1 visa.
-Do you apply for E-1 visa? E-1 visa is for treaty traders, and it is irrelevant to EB-1A.
移民局网站上对E1 visa Persons with extraordinary ability的介绍中提到“Such applicants do not have to have specific job offers”
但是visa申请指南中又要求E类visa的申请人提供“A job offer letter from the petitioning company”,目的是“demonstrates you ... are not likely to become public charges after immigrating to the United States.”
问题是EB1A的的petitioner是我自己，根本就没有petitioning company，更没有offer letter了。
我该咋办呢？
是随便通过skype面试几个美国公司，拿个offer，签证面试的时候带上。问题是我人都不在美国，根本无法onsite，可能拿不到offer。
还是直接把移民局网站上对E1 visa的介绍打印下来说明我这个类别不需要job offer?
-The EB-1A I-140 (or NIW I-140) is self-sponsored, which does not required an employer. I have not found whether the job offer letter or employment is needed for EB-1A I-140 based I-485 or immigration visa application by law, but practically, most US immigration officers require the applicant to have a job offer or is employed before the I-485 or immigration visa is approved. So, if they ask you to provide it, you may have to follow their requirements because it is difficult to argue it with them. Of course, some officers may not require it, then you may be fine not to provide it.
