Tenure track faculty positions are generally in EB1, EB1-OR or EB1-EA.
EB1-OR requires a job offer, but no LC.

Gotcha thanks - hence my initial question, I don't know too much about the positions or EB category exceptions that don't need LC.

Granted, anything EB1 will probably be fairly rosy after September, I thought that sort of category was for Nobel Prize winners and "world authority on xxx" type people. I guess its a bit broader than that
