Our mission is to provide you with the guidance and expertise you need to secure your future in the United States. If you are a highly skilled professional, an individual with extraordinary abilities, or an advanced degree holder, the EB1 and EB2 visa categories may be the ideal pathways to obtaining permanent residency. Let’s explore these prestigious visa options in detail.
Understanding the EB1 Visa Category
The EB1 visa, or the Employment-Based First Preference visa, is designed for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability, are outstanding professors or researchers, or are multinational executives or managers. Here’s a closer look at each subcategory:
1. EB1-A: Extraordinary Ability
This subcategory is for individuals with extraordinary abilities in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. To qualify, you must demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim and provide extensive documentation of your achievements. This category does not require a specific job offer, allowing for self-petition.
2. EB1-B: Outstanding Professors and Researchers
This subcategory is for outstanding professors and researchers recognized internationally for their academic achievements. To qualify, you must have at least three years of experience in teaching or research and must be seeking to enter the U.S. to continue working in a tenured or tenure-track teaching or comparable research position at a university or other institution of higher education.
3. EB1-C: Multinational Executives and Managers
This subcategory is for executives and managers employed for at least one of the preceding three years by an overseas affiliate, parent, subsidiary, or branch of the U.S. employer. The position must involve managerial or executive duties, and the applicant must come to the U.S. to continue service with the same employer.
Exploring the EB2 Visa Category
The EB2 visa, also known as the Employment-Based Second Preference visa, is for individuals who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or who have exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. The EB2 category includes the following subcategories:
1. EB2-A: Advanced Degree Professionals
This subcategory is for individuals with an advanced degree or equivalent (a baccalaureate degree plus five years of progressive work experience in the field). To qualify, you must have a job offer and an approved labor certification demonstrating that no qualified U.S. workers are available.
2. EB2-B: Exceptional Ability
This subcategory is for individuals with exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. Exceptional ability means a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered. You must provide documentation such as letters of recommendation, awards, publications, or membership in professional associations to support your claim.
3. EB2-C: National Interest Waiver (NIW)
This subcategory allows individuals to seek a waiver of the job offer requirement if their work is deemed to be in the national interest of the United States. The National Interest Waiver is typically granted to individuals whose work has substantial merit and national importance. This option attracts researchers, entrepreneurs, and individuals in technology, healthcare, and environmental science.
