An employment-based immigrant visa is a common pathway toward Legal Permanent Residency and eventually U.S. citizenship.
There are several employment-based immigrant visa categories available for qualified applicants, including EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 classifications.
For individuals already in the United States, an immigrant visa may be available through adjustment of status by filing Form I-485 without leaving the country.
Employment-based immigrant visas are divided into several categories:
The Visa Bulletin is published monthly by the U.S. Department of State. It lists the availability of immigrant visas based on category and country of chargeability.
Visa availability can vary significantly depending on quotas and country-specific demand. In many cases, there are long waiting periods before a visa becomes available.
Careful review of the Visa Bulletin is important when determining which immigration strategy is appropriate.
Applicants who are already in the United States may be eligible to adjust status to permanent residence by filing Form I-485.
This process allows eligible individuals to remain in the United States while their green card application is pending.
