Study in USA: EB Visas Are The Best Choice to Get Green Card

Living in the US is still a dream come true for a lot of people all around the world. It makes sense that thousands of people apply each year to immigrate to the US in order to live there permanently. Those intending to settle permanently in the US may apply for a variety of immigrant visas.

EB-1 and EB-2, which are primarily employer-sponsored programs, are two well-liked avenues for entry into the US and subsequent eligibility for green cards. Furthermore, in order to qualify for a US green card, an individual must invest a certain amount and create jobs in the US under the EB-5 visa program.

Long Waiting Time For The EB Visas

According to the reports, for foreign nationals wishing to settle in the United States, the longest waiting period is still the EB-1, EB-2, and EB-5 visa waiting period. With the EB-2 and EB-3 visa categories experiencing historically long delays, the EB-5 visa program appears to be a strategic lifeline.

Foreign nationals working in the United States have multiple options to obtain a Green Card and become lawful permanent residents under the country’s immigration laws. The following immigrant categories are subject to employment-based (EB) preference:

1. Priority one (EB-1): Priority Workers: Outstanding academics and researchers; some multinational managers and executives; foreign nationals with exceptional talent in the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics.
2. Second priority (EB-2): Foreign nationals with extraordinary aptitude or members of the professions with advanced degrees (including those requesting waivers of national interest).

Professionals, skilled laborers, or other workers are the third preference (EB-3) category.

“Adjustment of Status” Is Must To Get EB-1, EB-2, or EB-3 Visas

Individuals who are in the country with visas falling under the EB-1, EB-2, or EB-3 categories must apply for a “adjustment of status” in order to get lawful permanent resident status and to be qualified for the US Green Card.

While getting a green card is a lengthy process, there are other options that make it much easier to become a permanent resident of the country. The EB-5 Visa Program is a well-liked and quick way to get a green card. The EB-5 program is a US immigration policy that offers foreign investors who are prepared to invest in the nation’s economy and generate jobs for US workers a path to lawful permanent citizenship (green card).
