What EB-2 Covers and Who Qualifies
EB-2 is an employment-based immigration category for professionals who hold an advanced degree or who show exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. It also includes the National Interest Waiver, which lets qualified applicants self-petition without a job offer. This path often fits advanced-degree holders, licensed professionals, and people with a strong record of achievement in their field.
How the Petition Process Works
The process starts with a case evaluation to confirm eligibility. Next, we gather supporting evidence such as degrees, licenses, recommendation letters, and proof of exceptional ability. We then file Form I-140 with USCIS. If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence, we respond with the documentation needed to keep the case moving. Timelines vary by category and by how busy USCIS is at the time.
What Strengthens an EB-2 Application
Strong applications rest on clear, well-organized documentation and solid evidence of an advanced degree or exceptional ability. Where a National Interest Waiver applies, a well-argued case matters even more. Having an experienced attorney review the petition before filing helps catch gaps early and can prevent delays or denials.
Common EB-2 Questions
How long does an EB-2 visa take to process?
