Employment-based immigration in the United States encompasses a range of visa categories designed to bring foreign workers to the country for various employment purposes. These categories include the EB visas (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4, EB-5), which are intended for individuals with exceptional skills, advanced degrees, or specific work qualifications, as well as special immigrants and investors. Additionally, the H-1B visa caters to skilled professionals in specialty occupations, while the L-1 visa facilitates the transfer of employees within multinational companies. The O-1 visa is reserved for individuals with extraordinary abilities in fields like arts, sciences, and athletics. Each of these visa categories has its own eligibility requirements and pathways to permanent residency, making the U.S. a destination for talent and expertise from around the world. |

Good morning everyone, I’m 33 years live in United Kingdom , I hold MSc in public health, I’m interested in the EB-2 visa, I hope my age won’t disqualify me or it doesn’t have anything to do with age. |

Fusion23: Yes, you’re right!, long long wait time🙃. The next thing for you is patience, brace up cos you’ll need A LOT of it seeing that your priority date is only January 14, 2024. Congrats on your approval!, the next stage is NVC processing and then your case will be sent to the American embassy in Canada, they’ll be reaching out to you in due time. |

lasisig5: Nope! even if you’re 80yo you can apply as long as you can show proof that your current/future work will benefit the United States significantly i.e., in the national interest of the US, and that you’re well positioned (through your proven record of success etc) to carry out that work. Please note that having an advanced degree ALONE is not enough grounds to qualify. |

Hello Followed the thread from start to end I have also skimmed through the documents and publicly available information I do have a few questions ,i’lld be grateful to have answered. My background is BSC computer science(Nigeria ) ,MSC Finance(Uk),my master’s thesis was based on blockchain but it isn’t published or reworked. Work experience-some but not significant (e.g internships,lesser known companies) Age 24 1) I saw that some stem degrees have some advantages based on the National Science and Technology Council’s Critical and Emerging Technologies List Update 2022 My masters degree and thiesis …are based on and covers Financial Technologies • Distributed ledger technologies • Digital assets • Digital payment technologies • Digital identity infrastructure Based on this can I apply on basis of this right away…or I have to work on reworking my thiesis and co authoring some relevant papers in the coming months If I can apply right away.would reworking and publishing my thesis make a stronger case 2)I checked the visa bulletin for February..it says filing date is something like 15/feb/2023 Does this mean that it’s not worth it to do premium processing for consular processing since backlog is already a year behind and I-140 takes 10-11months to come out with regular processing Also is there a scope to the visa bulletin something I saw something about applying before fiscial year ends or once it begins . 3) lastly with regards to lawyer Does applying with a lawyer have significant difference compared to doing self research and applying for one’s self. Basically is the lawyer fee worth it or it’s something that can be easily done with self research Thank you very much in advance |

adedammy009: The interview went well, I received the visa approval. I got to the Lagos consulate 30mins before the interview time. The CGI folks checked my appointment letter to ensure that I was scheduled for the day. Once confirmed, I was allowed in and told to arrange my documents in the order described in the interview invitation mail. When I got into the visa hall. I was initially called for document verification at a window. All of my original documents were collected including my original school certificates. These were compared with the information that I submitted to NVC which had been mailed to them. Once done, I was told to sit and wait till my number was called. There was no particular order to the way that applicants were called for the interview with the consular officers. After an hour, I was called by one of the officers.Below are some of the questions he asked: Have you ever lived in any other country for more than 6 months? Are you currently employed and where do you work? How many years of experience do you have? Where are you going to in the US and what are you going to do there? Do you have any professional certifications along with your academic credentials? Have you ever changed your name? Do you have other dependents that aren't applying with you? Once he was done with his notes, he mentioned that I had been approved and he gave me a white slip. He held on to my passport, but returned all my original documents that I had submitted during the initial screening. The main takeaway is that even though the consular officer is not readjudicating the petition, they're validating the legitimacy of the application from an immigration perspective. Most importantly, ensure that you're consistent in all of the information provided, as I saw a lot of people get entangled by providing inconsistent or incomplete information to the consular which led to the dreaded 221g refusal. Wishing you all the best in your journey. 13 Likes |

marshallkowope: So, what are you proposing as your endeavor??. You need to write that in layman’s terms. You can check @eb2niw page on Instagram for ideas on how to compose a clear and concise proposed endeavor. (see images attached) In my opinion, premium processing is not worth it at this time because wait times are crazy right now. But if you have extra $2500 that you’re not using, why not! lol. You’ll get a decision quicker plus have peace of mind. Please note that average processing time for regular I-140 for EB2NIW (without premium processing) is now 3 to 4 months, I’ve even seen some approval in 2 months. Also, premium processing fees will be increasing sometime in February. I don’t have time to check the exact details of the new fees, but it’s sha less than $3k. Asking if a lawyers fee is worth it or not is subjective. If you’re confident about completing the process by yourself, go for it and save yourself the extra attorney fees. If not, then get all the assistance you need!. The most important thing is to get your petition approved. Lastly, you can attach your unpublished thesis as part of your application packet , you can note that work is in progress on getting it published. However, if you get a chance to get it published before you put in your application that’s great too.
