EB-2 VISA

The EB-2 visa is a U.S. immigrant visa category for individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability whose contributions will significantly benefit the national economy or welfare of the country. If you are a highly skilled professional, founder, researcher, scientist, or specialist, the EB-2 category gives you a chance to obtain a U.S. Green card, allowing a lawful permanent resident to live and work in the U.S. endlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a job offer to qualify for an EB-2 visa?
    Yes, you need a job offer from a U.S. employer and a PERM labor certification. However, if you qualify for the NIW category, you can self-apply without any job offer.
  • Can I include my family in the EB-2 application?
    Yes, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can also accompany you as ependents. They can apply for E-21 (spouse) and E-22 (children) and later for a green card or permanent residency.
  • What kind of ‘exceptional ability’ should I possess to be eligible for an EB-2 visa?
    The applicant must meet three out of six eligibility criteria: evidence of an advanced degree in the exceptional ability field, at least or more than 10 years of experience, proof of high salary, a practice license, official membership in a professional association, or acknowledgement by an organization.
  • How is EB-2 NIW different from the EB-2 visa?
    EB-2 NIW permits applicants to self-petition without any employment offer or PERM certification, justifying the significance and contribution of their work to the national interest of the U.S. While a job offer and labor certification are required to qualify for the EB-2 visa category.
  • What are the ‘advanced degree’ requirements for an EB-2 visa?
    To be eligible, the applicant must have completed a master’s degree or higher from the renowned U.S. University or an equivalent foreign degree. The applicant holding a U.S. bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 5 years of work experience in the related field also qualifies for the criteria.
