Employment-Based Petitions

The United States issues approximately 140,000 employment-based visas every fiscal year. These visas allow the employee beneficiary and their derivative spouse and children to enter the United States as LPRs. Employee beneficiaries must have a combination of education, work experience, and skills, that make them eligible for one of these visas.

 

THE FIVE EMPLOYMENT-BASED CATEGORIES ARE

  • EB-1 – Individuals with extraordinary ability in specified fields and multinational managers
  • EB-2 – Individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability in the arts, sciences or business.
  • EB-3 – Individuals who are professionals, skilled workers. Other workers may qualify under this category
  • EB-4 – Religious workers and other special immigrants
  • EB-5 – Investors of $1 million who create at least 10 full-time jobs

 

Bear in mind, some visa categories require that you have a job offer from a United States employer who will be your sponsor and petitioner in the I-140 petition. Typically, but not always, employers have to get approved labor certifications from the United States Department of Labor before they can submit an I-140 petition for you to USCIS.
