    Default Green Card Options

    Hi;
    after reading about different types of GC available for professionals, I'm little confused.
    I don't want to use sponsor, and I don't have job offer, so I need to be able to self petition.
    I think there are two categories where I would have a chance:
    EB-1 Outstanding Researcher/Professor or National Interest Waiver/Extraordinary Ability

    I do have masters degree, I'm in program to get PhD, field is chemistry and synthetic biology. I do have few, but not too many publications, several conference presentations and talks. I'm form Czech Republic, so there is not sooo many people from my country around using up limits. I'm currently on F visa.
    Anybody has experience with similar situation?

    I know I can get attorney, and probably I will do it eventually, but I want objective advice now. I feel like if I go to the attorney, she or he will say sure, you have chance for green card, just to get me to hire him.
    Thank you VERY much for all advise!
    tea.

    You are only a student and don't even have a PhD. You are very unlikely to qualify for self petitioning for a GC.

    The best you can hope from a consult with an attorney at this time is information on how best to improve your resume to place yourself in the best position to be qualified for self sponsorship.

    Plan to locate a employer following the completion of your degree who has a history of sponsoring employees for green cards.

    The previous post is right. You should go see an attorney about this matter.
