Green card through work (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-5)

EB-1 green card

EB-1 Green Card is for foreign workers able to demonstrate extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim (published recognition of their achievements). Your achievements must be recognized in your field through extensive documentation. No offer of employment is required

E-B1 Green Card is filed without an employer or offer of employment, via a self-petition.  

EB-2 green card

If the foreign worker has serious achievements but not sufficient to rise to the level of “extraordinary,” he or she can apply for an EB-2 Green Card with the offer of employment, and must possess a Bachelor’s Degree plus 5 years of post-bachelor’s progressive work experience in the specialty field.  

In addition, foreign workers with Exceptional ability and workers in the National Interest Waiver (NIW) fields may qualify for this immigrant visa without requirement of a labor certification.

If you have an advanced degree, exceptional ability or NIW job offer, to receive EB-2  you must show 3 of the following requirement criteria to qualify:

Criteria:

  • Official academic record 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 in your occupation
  • A license to practice your profession or certification for your profession or occupation
  • Evidence that you have commanded a salary or other remuneration for services that demonstrates your exceptional ability

  • Recognition for your achievements and significant contributions to your industry or field by your peers, government entities, professional or business organizations
  • Other comparable evidence of eligibility is also acceptable.

PERM EB-3 green card – Employer-sponsored Green Card

PERM is the process of receiving a green card through first obtaining a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor approving the job position, wages and level of employment, and second, filing an Immigrant Worker Petition for the prospective foreign worker to fill the certified position.   

Essentially, the employer is asking the U.S. government to bring in a green card holder employee to fill a special position in their company for which they could not find a U.S. worker through job advertising.
