there is no EB-visa, only EB green cards. But you need to get H1B first before you can jump through the EB hoops.

Citizenship and Immigration Services thinks there's 5 different subcategories of them.

Nope, Green Cards don't have categories, they require you to be currently admitted in an immigrant visa category (EB-1 through -5 qualify, as do a number of others, but not H-1B or other non-immigrant visas.)

No, you don't.
