Foreign citizens can ensure a green card through employment-based immigration due to their job or exceptional professional skills. To match workers with their qualifications, experiences, and education, U.S. authorities have categorized various types of visas into preference groups (EB1, EB2, EB3, etc.).


EB1 and EB2 visas are among the most important and prioritized categories that expedite the process of obtaining permanent residency for skilled workers across various fields.

EB2 (NIW) Visa: Advanced Degree or Exceptional Ability

People with advanced degrees or those who thrive in industries like business, engineering, or healthcare are eligible for the EB2 (National Interest Waiver) visa. If applicants can demonstrate that their work advances the national interest of the United States, they can self-petition, negating the need for employer sponsorship.
