The H-1B and EB-5 visas both allow foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S., but have different requirements. The H-1B is employer-sponsored for specialized workers, while the EB-5 requires a $800,000 investment and job creation, offering more freedom without employer sponsorship. #H1BVisa #EB5Visa #USImmigration #WorkInTheUS #InvestmentVisa #EmployerSponsorship #USVisaOptions

As an expert in EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) visas, I’ve guided over 500 clients through the complexities of this valuable immigration route. Here are three key insights into the EB-2 NIW visa that can help you navigate the process: 1. Exceptional Ability & Advanced Degrees: The EB-2 NIW visa is designed for individuals with exceptional abilities or advanced degrees. This category is ideal for those whose skills and achievements significantly contribute to their field and benefit the U.S. 2. National Interest Waiver: To qualify for a NIW, you must demonstrate that your work benefits the U.S. national interest substantially. This means proving that your contributions are of significant value and that you are well-positioned to advance your proposed endeavor. 3. Tailored Strategy for Success: Each EB-2 NIW case is unique. With over 50 approvals and extensive experience, including three recent successful EB-2 NIW visas for my clients, I tailor my approach to highlight your strengths and navigate the complexities of the application process, ensuring a strategic path to success.

Today, we talk a bit about EB-2 Visas. Let's dive in. EB-2 visas are designed for professionals holding advanced degrees (masters or higher) or individuals with exceptional abilities in their field. Now, unlike EB-1 visas, applicants for EB2 visas must obtain a labor certification from the Department of Labor, unless they qualify for a national interest waiver based on their significant contributions to their field. Also, unlike the EB1 category, EB2 visas often face backlog issues, especially for certain countries with high demand for visas, leading to longer waiting periods for applicants. EB2 visas are known to typically cater to individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities who don't necessarily meet the criteria for the EB1 category. Applicants for EB2 visas usually require a job offer from a U.S. employer who will act as their sponsor throughout the application process. #EB-2 #visas #EB-1 #immigration  #uscis

If you’re applying for the EB-3 visa, it’s important to understand who is responsible for covering each fee. Typically, the employer pays for immigration-related costs, including the I-140 form, labor certification (PERM), job advertising, and the attorney managing the employment aspect. Fees related to medical exams, consular processing (DS-260 form), adjustment of status (I-485 form), or dependent visas are usually the applicant's responsibility. These arrangements can vary, so it’s essential to review your agreement with the employer to avoid unexpected expenses.

The Employment-Based Second Preference (EB-2) visa is an immigrant visa category for non-U.S. citizens with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities who are seeking permanent residency in the United States.   Here are some things to know about obtaining a green card through the EB-2 category: Annual limit The number of EB-2 visas issued each year is capped at 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based visa limit. Sponsorship Usually, a U.S. employer must sponsor the applicant for an EB-2 visa. However, applicants may be able to self-petition if they qualify for the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW). Fees There are several fees associated with the EB-2 visa application process, including the I-140 filing fee, I-485 filing fee, biometrics fee, and DS-260 filing fee if applying from abroad. Family If the I-140 petition is approved, the applicant's spouse and unmarried children under 21 are eligible to obtain their green cards as dependents. Process and timeline First get I-140 approval, then wait for the priority date to become current, then file I-485 or DS260. USCIS USimmigration Visas EB2
