Questions and answers

Employment-based (EB) visas allow foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S. based on their job skills, professional qualifications, or investment. These visas are divided into several preference categories (EB-1 to EB-5), depending on the applicant’s qualifications and purpose of entry.

  • EB-1: Priority workers (extraordinary ability, outstanding professors/researchers, multinational executives)
  • EB-2: Professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability (includes National Interest Waiver)
  • EB-3: Skilled workers, professionals, and other workers
  • EB-4: Special immigrants (religious workers, certain international employees)
  • EB-5: Immigrant investors
  • Immigrant visas lead to permanent residence (green card).
  • Nonimmigrant work visas (e.g., H-1B, O-1, L-1) allow temporary employment in the U.S.

PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is a process used by the U.S. Department of Labor to ensure that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position offered to a foreign worker. It is required for most EB-2 and EB-3 green card applications, unless exempt (e.g., EB-2 NIW).

The EB-1A is for individuals with extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. It does not require a job offer or labor certification and is suitable for self-petitioners.

The NIW allows certain EB-2 applicants to bypass the labor certification process if their work significantly benefits the U.S. national interest. It is commonly used by researchers, physicians, and entrepreneurs.

Usually yes, but there are exceptions. For example, the EB-1A and EB-2 NIW categories allow self-petitioning without an employer.

Processing times vary based on the visa category, the applicant’s country of origin, and whether labor certification is required. It may take anywhere from several months to several years.

Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may qualify as derivative beneficiaries and can often apply for permanent residence along with you.

You will receive lawful permanent resident status. This allows you to live and work in the U.S. permanently, and you may apply for U.S. citizenship after meeting eligibility requirements.
