U.S. immigration law provides foreign nationals with a variety of ways to become lawful permanent residents (obtain a Green Card) through employment in the United States.
HAYMAN-WOODWARD IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM LLP is here to guide you through this process.
These employment-based (EB) “preference immigrant” categories includes EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3.
The EB-2 category is a Green Card for qualified people with exceptional ability and unique skills in their areas of expertise or training or who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees.
Professionals from the most diverse areas and with more than five years of proven experience in business, arts, and sciences fit this profile. Scientists, physicians, dentists, researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, educators, athletes, or those with a Ph.D. can apply for this category.
Their contributions to the United States national interest need to be demonstrated in a grounded manner, fulfilling all the requirements required by Immigration Law.
The Government of the United States is aware of the potential of these well-prepared professionals and seeks to improve the quality of bilateral relations with several nations through strategic partnerships, such as that developed with HAYMAN-WOODWARD.
The EB2 NIW is one of three unique methods of obtaining an employment-based green card without sponsorship from a US employer, making it a highly sought-after option for foreign professionals.
To qualify, an individual must possess an advanced degree (master’s, PhD, MD or other) or a bachelor’s degree with 5 years of progressive experience. In addition, you must demonstrate exceptional ability in your field.
