One of the most common and reliable paths to permanent residency is through employment.

About the EB-2 Category

The EB-2 category is the second employment-based preference category covering immigrants with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities. It is most often recommended for medical professionals, scientists, and university professors. In many cases however, business managers or individuals in other fields may qualify based on their academic or employment history. Our legal experts at ALG Lawyers will evaluate your employment, education, and other important details to help determine if you’re eligible for the EB-2 immigrant category.

Who Can Be Eligible for EB-2 Visa?

Eligible applicants, whether as advanced degree holders or professionals with exceptional ability, should obtain a labor certification and exhibit the following:

For advanced degree holders:

  • proof of advanced degree or its equivalent
  • five (5) years of progressive work experience relevant to the advanced degree

For those with exceptional ability:

    • exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business that can significantly benefit the future of the US economy, cultural or educational interests, or welfare
    • in lieu of a labor certification, you may file for a National Interest waiver

National Interest Waiver

A National Interest waiver exempts eligible EB-2 immigrants from the labor certification process and job offer requirements. Applicants may file a petition on their behalf without needing an employer as their sponsor.
Processing a National Interest waiver requires high-level technical and legal proficiency. Please coordinate with our experienced immigration lawyers for your guidance.

Advantages of EB-2 Visa

Qualifying for an EB-2 visa provides the following benefits:

  • a path to permanent residency ormore commonly referred to as your Green Card
  • your spouse and children can join you in immigrating to the United States
  • unlike in the more common EB-3 category, the processing time for Green Card in the EB-2 category is generally faster due to higher demand and fewer qualified applicants.
  • It is generally faster than the more common EB-3 category due to higher demand and fewer qualified applicants.
