哪一种适合我：O-1、EB-1A 还是 EB-2 NIW？
哪一种路径更适合您，通常取决于三个因素：您目前需要的是临时工作身份还是永久居留身份、谁能够为您提交申请，以及您出生地所对应的绿卡排期（Visa Bulletin）。O-1 属于临时工作身份，需要雇主或代理人为您提交申请；EB-1A 和 EB-2 NIW 则属于永久居留类别，并允许申请人自行递交申请。
| O-1A | EB-1A | EB-2 NIW | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 身份特征 | 可续签的临时身份 | 永久居留（绿卡） | 永久居留（绿卡） |
| 由谁申请 | 美国雇主或代理人 | 申请人本人 | 申请人本人 |
| 审查标准 | 持续获得认可（sustained acclaim），达到所属领域顶尖水平 | 持续获得认可（sustained acclaim），并通过最终裁量性综合评估（final merits determination） | 拟开展的工作具有实质价值和国家重要性（substantial merit and national importance），且申请人有能力推进该工作 |
| 证据要求 | 满足八项标准中的至少三项，并综合评估全部记录 | 满足十项标准中的至少三项，并综合评估全部记录 | 满足 NIW 的三项审查要素（three prongs），无固定标准数量要求 |
| 排期情况 | 不适用 | 多数国家目前可用，但中国大陆和印度出生申请人存在排期 | 通常慢于 EB-1，中国大陆和印度出生申请人的等待时间通常更长 |
| 加急处理 | 可申请 | I-140 可申请加急处理 | I-140 可申请加急处理 |
关于各条路径对证据的具体要求，可进一步参考：O-1 证据标准、从 O-1 过渡到 EB-1A，以及 EB-2 NIW 自行申请等相关说明。

Yes. An EB-1A and an EB-2 NIW can be filed on the same record and are decided separately, so a denial of one is not a denial of the other. The cost is two filing fees and two records that must not contradict each other, because an inconsistency between them is something USCIS can ask about.
An O-1 is a nonimmigrant petition, so it can be filed, extended and renewed while either immigrant petition is pending: the O-1 tolerates an intention to remain permanently, which most temporary categories do not. What it does not do is make either petition faster, and it does not change your priority date.
This is why the O-1 is often where people start. It asks less of a record than EB-1A does, it keeps you working while an immigrant petition is pending, and the evidence behind it is usually where the EB-1A petition begins — what carries over, and what has to be rebuilt.
Neither publication count nor citation count decides which route fits. There is no published threshold, and the same numbers can mean very different things depending on the field, the source of the citations, and your role in the work.
EB-1A and NIW ask different questions. EB-1A focuses on recognition by others, which USCIS then weighs as a whole record. NIW focuses on whether the proposed work has national importance and whether you are well positioned to advance it.
As a result, two researchers with the same citation count may receive very different advice: one has been asked to review for the journals that cite them, the other has a funder and an adopter behind the work.
If EB-1A is the question, the free eligibility check reads a public record against the O-1 and EB-1A criteria and puts a source behind each finding.
