Extraordinary Ability Petition Approved for Three-time Indianapolis 500 Winner, Helio Castroneves
Congratulations to Helio Castroneves, the reigning Indy500 Champion! USCIS recently approved Castroneves’ EB-11 Petition for classification as a Race Car Driver of Extraordinary Ability. He filed his petition using the USCIS Premium Processing service and received his approval in less than 15 days from the date of filing! Castroneves is one of the world’s greatest race car drivers, having won the Indianapolis 500–the premier event in IndyCar Racing–three times: in 2001, 2002, and most recently in 2009. During his ten year career on the IndyCar Racing circuit, Castroneves has won countless races and pole positions. He has been featured in the nation’s leading publications such as the New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, the Miami Herald, Sports Illustrated, and People, among others. Castroneves has had much success off the track as well. In 2007, he competed in the fifth season of the acclaimed ABC television series Dancing With the Stars. Castroneves, the star race car driver, and his professional dancing partner, Julianne Hough, won the coveted mirror ball trophy becoming the Season Five Champions. We congratulate him on all of his accomplishments on and off the track and wish him luck in his upcoming IndyCar races.
