Green Card through Employment

Sponsorship through an employer is another common way to obtain a Green Card in the US. Spouses and underage, unmarried children of the sponsored employee are eligible to apply for a green card as well. Similar to some family-based categories, there is a limit on the number of visas issued in a given year, which creates a backlog.

Employment Based First Preference (EB-1)

This category is for anyone with extraordinary ability in their field, outstanding professors/ researchers and certain multinational executives/managers can apply.

2

Employment Based Second Preference (EB-2)

The EB2 category is for anyone with exceptional ability in their field, advanced degrees or whose employment is considered to be in the U.S. national interest can apply.
