Could You Qualify for an Employment Based Green Card?

January 2, 2012 by Thomas Geygan

Each year, at least 140,000 foreign national workers are granted green cards to enter, re-enter, live, and work in the United States. Could you qualify for an employment based visa? A qualified immigration attorney will show you the most likely successful path to a green card; perhaps it is by way of an employment based visa.

Employment Visa Preferences

The United States encourages and helps certain professionals qualify for employment based visas (E visas) because those who qualify add something needed to the U.S. economy or culture.

There are three preference categories, wherein it doesn’t matter your particular area of expertise. The higher preference you qualify for, the easier it is to obtain an employment based visa. Visas are available for those most qualified, who are needed by U.S. employers (who can’t find qualified American workers.)

First, Aliens with Extraordinary Abilities (Arts and Sciences only, NOT Business); Outstanding Professors and Researchers; Multi-National Executives and Managers

Second, Professionals with Advanced Degrees; Aliens of Exceptional Ability in Sciences, Arts, or Business with special handling for College and University Professors

Third, Professionals, Skilled Workers (special schedule for Nurses and Physical Therapists); Other Workers

There are two additional preferences for specific industries. The fourth preference is for religious workers and the fifth, investors.  (Please see our page for a more detailed description)

Employment Based Qualification Analysis

Your immigration lawyer will carefully analyze the best path for you or your employee. Can job certification be avoided? Should several applications, in the various categories, be filed? Is there a non-immigrant path to pursue until the Green Card becomes available?
