Employment-Based Immigration: EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3

We help professionals, executives, and skilled workers navigate the U.S. employment-based (EB) immigration system to secure permanent residency through EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 visas. These categories are ranked by preference, and eligibility depends on your qualifications, experience, and the nature of your job.

EB-1: Priority Workers (First Preference)

For individuals with exceptional qualifications.

  • EB-1A: Individuals with extraordinary ability in science, arts, business, education, or athletics (no job offer required).

  • EB-1B: Outstanding professors or researchers (requires a job offer).

  • EB-1C: Multinational executives or managers transferring from a foreign affiliate.

  • Benefits: No PERM labor certification, faster processing, and high approval rates for qualified applicants.

EB-2: Professionals with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability (Second Preference)

  • Requires a Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) or proven exceptional ability in your field.

  • National Interest Waiver (NIW) option available—permits self-petitioning without a job offer or labor certification if your work benefits the U.S.

  • Benefits: Streamlined path for qualified professionals; NIW offers greater flexibility.

EB-3: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers (Third Preference)

  • For skilled workers (2+ years experience), professionals (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent), and other unskilled workers (under 2 years experience).

  • Benefits: Broader eligibility.

  • Considerations: PERM labor certification required; longer wait times for applicants from high-demand countries.
