FAQ
The EB-2 visa is a U.S. immigrant visa for professionals holding advanced degrees or individuals with exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. The EB-2 visa category is particularly intended for those who can demonstrate that their employment in the U.S. would benefit the nation. Here are the general requirements for qualifying for an EB-2 visa:
- The position you are applying for must require an advanced degree (a U.S. master’s degree or higher, or its foreign equivalent).
- You must possess such a degree or its equivalent (a baccalaureate degree plus 5 years progressive work experience in the field).
- You must be able to show exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business.
- Exceptional ability means a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the sciences, arts, or business.
- Individuals applying under the EB-2 visa category may apply for a national interest waiver. This waiver may be granted if the work is deemed to be in the national interest of the United States, thereby waiving the labor certification requirement.
- To receive a waiver, the applicant needs to demonstrate that their proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance, they are well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor, and that it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer and thus the labor certification.
- Official academic records showing that you have a degree, diploma, certificate, or similar award from a college, university, school, or other institution of learning relating to your area of exceptional ability
- Letters documenting at least 10 years of full-time experience
- A license to practice your profession or certification for a particular profession or occupation
- Evidence that you have commanded a salary or other remuneration for services that demonstrates your exceptional ability
- Membership in professional associations
- Recognition for your achievements and significant contributions to your industry or field by your peers, government entities, professional or business organizations
Except for those seeking a national interest waiver, you must have a job offer and your employer must complete an Application for Permanent Employment Certification (Labor Certification) from the Department of Labor.
