Learn About the EB-2 Visa
What Is the EB-2 Visa?
The EB-2 visa is an employment-based Green Card category intended for professionals with advanced academic degrees or exceptional ability in their fields. This visa may be obtained through a U.S. job offer or through a National Interest Waiver (NIW), if the applicant can demonstrate that their presence in the United States would provide substantial benefits to the country.
The EB-2 category is divided into two primary classifications:
EB-2 (Advanced Degree)
For professionals who possess:
A master’s degree or doctoral degree; or
A bachelor’s degree plus at least five years of progressive professional experience in the field.
EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver)
For professionals who can demonstrate that their work in the United States will benefit the national interest, allowing them to apply for a Green Card without the need for a job offer.
Who Is It For?
The EB-2 category is ideal for:
Professionals with a master’s degree or doctorate who have a job offer in the United States.
Individuals holding a bachelor’s degree and at least five years of relevant professional experience.
Highly qualified professionals who can demonstrate that their work will benefit the United States and therefore qualify for the EB-2 NIW category.
