Immigrant visas
This type of visa allows the visa holder to travel to and reside in the United States permanently. This visa must be obtained before traveling to the country and is part of the immigration process of getting a green card.Non-immigrant visas
This type of visa enables visa holders to visit the United States for specific purposes, such as education, work, business trips, or medical reasons. Its validity is only for a set period, with a clear departure date. Essentially, these are temporary documents that do not come with permanent residence in the US. There are several types of nonimmigrant and immigrant visas that one could apply for through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. Determining which applies to you, and knowing the eligibility requirements for employment visas, is something that you should spend significant time on.First Preference EB-1 Visa Category
The EB-1 Visa, or Employment-Based Extraordinary Ability Green Card, is generally for aliens of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. Considered as one of the most highly desirable US visas, this preference category also includes outstanding professors or researchers as well as multinational executives and managers. An employment-based green card is available to foreign nationals that demonstrate extraordinary ability in their field, whether the sciences, the arts, education, business, or athletics. Extraordinary ability is normally proven through showing evidence of sustained national or international acclaim. Obtaining an EB-1 visa generally requires significant effort and preparation to build a strong case. You may be eligible for an employment-based, first-preference visa if you are an alien of extraordinary ability, are an outstanding professor or researcher, or are a certain multinational executive or manager. Each occupational category has certain requirements that must be met.Second Preference EB-2 Visa Category
The second preference category is EB-2, which is for individuals who are members of a profession holding an advanced degree or its equivalent. The same is applicable for those with exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. Following the usual employment-based process, petitions must be accompanied by an approved individual labor certification from the Department of Labor on Form ETA-750. However, an individual may obtain permanent residency without labor certification with a national interest waiver.Third Preference EB-3 Visa Category
The third preference category is EB-3, which is for individuals who are skilled workers, professionals, or other workers. In general, third preference visa petitions must generally be accompanied by an approved, individual labor certification from the Department of Labor. Professionals or individuals whose job requires at least a US baccalaureate or foreign equivalent degree (and are a member of the professions) may be eligible for this immigrant visa preference category. The same is applicable for skilled workers or persons whose jobs require a minimum of two years of training or experience, not of a temporary or seasonal nature. For skilled workers, they must meet the educational, training, or experience requirements of the job opportunity. Also related to this is the other workers’ subcategory for persons performing unskilled labor requiring less than 2 years of training, education, or experience, not of a temporary or seasonal nature.Fourth Preference EB-4 Visa Category
When it comes to employment-based immigration, there are two general subgroups within the special immigrant category. The first subcategory includes legal permanent residents returning after some authorized stay abroad, and persons reacquiring US citizenship. The second subcategory is generally for special immigrant religious workers or members of a non-profit religious denomination in the United States. However, the category can cover a broad range of applicants, such as broadcasters, Iraqi and Afghan translators, employees of an international organization, or physicians.Fifth Preference EB-5 Visa Category
Through the EB-5 green card process, a foreign national can enjoy lawful permanent resident status and all accompanying benefits by establishing a qualified new commercial enterprise. This, however, must create ten or more full-time jobs for qualified citizens, authorized immigrants, or legal permanent residents of the United States.A total of 10,000 US visas annually can be given to a foreign national proceeding with a business investment that will create employment opportunities in the United States. A total of 5,000 visas, in particular, are allotted for those with applications under a regional center pilot program.
A regional center, in simple terms, is an approved organization, entity, or agency that focuses on one specific area in the United States. These centers must promote growth in the economy using export sales, employment, regional productivity, or domestic capital investment.Are you at risk of being deported?
