At Eagle Immigration and Visa, we specialize in helping professionals, skilled workers, and investors navigate the complex application process to secure their future in the United States.

What is an Employment-Based Immigrant Visa?

Employment-based immigrant visas (commonly called EB Visas) allow foreign nationals to become permanent residents (Green Card holders) of the U.S. based on their skills, qualifications, or investment. The U.S. allocates these visas into five preference categories, each targeting specific types of employment or investment.

EB Visa Categories:

1. EB-1: Priority Workers
   • Individuals with extraordinary ability in fields like science, arts, education, business, or athletics.
   • Outstanding professors or researchers.
   • Multinational executives and managers.
2. EB-2: Professionals with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability
   • Professionals with a master’s degree or higher (or equivalent experience).
   • Individuals with exceptional ability in sciences, arts, or business.
   • Applicants under the National Interest Waiver (NIW) for work benefiting the U.S. significantly.
3. EB-3: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers
   • Skilled workers with at least two years of experience.
   • Professionals with a bachelor’s degree.
   • Other workers performing unskilled labor not available in the U.S.
4. EB-4: Special Immigrants
   • Religious workers, broadcasters, employees of international organizations, and certain other categories.
5. EB-5: Immigrant Investor Program
   • Individuals who invest $1.05 million (or $800,000 in targeted areas) in a U.S. business that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs.

Eligibility for Employment-Based Immigrant Visas

Eligibility requirements vary by visa category but generally include:

• Proof of Qualifications: Degrees, work experience, or evidence of extraordinary ability.
• Job Offer (for most categories): A valid job offer from a U.S. employer willing to sponsor the applicant.
• Labor Certification (PERM): For EB-2 and EB-3, the U.S. employer must prove no qualified U.S. workers are available for the job.
• Investment (for EB-5): Proof of funds and documentation of job creation or preservation.

How to Apply for an Employment-Based Immigrant Visa

At Eagle Immigration and Visa, we guide you through each step of the EB visa application process, which typically includes:

1. PERM Labor Certification (if required):
   • The U.S. employer files a Permanent Labor Certification (ETA Form 9089) with the Department of Labor.
2. Filing Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker)
   • The employer submits Form I-140 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
   • Self-petition is allowed for EB-1 extraordinary ability and EB-2 NIW cases.
3. File for Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing
   • If in the U.S., file Form I-485 for adjustment of status to become a permanent resident.
   • If outside the U.S., proceed with consular processing through a U.S. embassy or consulate.

Documents Required for Employment-Based Immigration

• Valid Passport: With at least six months of validity.
• Proof of Education and Work Experience: Degrees, transcripts, resumes, or letters from previous employers.
• PERM Certification (if applicable): Proof of labor certification approval.
