EB2 requirements
Advanced Degree or Exceptional Ability
Applicants must have an advanced degree (master’s or higher) or the equivalent of an advanced degree in their field. Alternatively, applicants can demonstrate exceptional ability in their field through extensive work experience or professional accomplishments.
Job Offer from a U.S. Employer
A U.S. employer must typically sponsor the applicant for the EB2 Visa, unless the applicant qualifies for a National Interest Waiver (NIW), in which case they can self-petition.
Labor Certification (If Required)
In most cases, applicants must provide proof that there are no qualified U.S. workers for the position they are seeking by submitting a labor certification. The certification verifies that the hiring of the foreign worker will not negatively impact the U.S. labor market.
Exceptional Ability in the Field
For those applying under the exceptional ability category, applicants must provide evidence of their skill level, such as industry recognition, awards, or letters of recommendation from experts in their field.
Intended Work in the U.S.
Applicants must intend to work in the U.S. in the area of their advanced degree or exceptional ability, providing evidence of how their work will benefit the U.S.
No Labor Certification for National Interest Waiver (NIW) Applicants
If applicants are seeking a National Interest Waiver, they do not need to go through the labor certification process but must demonstrate that their work is of substantial merit and will benefit the U.S.
