EB-2 is the green card category designed for the foreign professionals willing to work in the US under the employment-based permanent residency status, who either:

• Have a master’s degree or higher (or the equivalent thereof) in their field.
• Have a bachelor’s degree (or the equivalent thereof) and at least five years of work experience in their field.
• Have demonstrable achievement and/or awards in their field to prove their exceptional abilities.

Although these are the main requirements, they reflect the essence of the EB-2 Green Card category. To mention, that it is one of the most popular categories among the employment-based ones.

In any case, if you fall under the mentioned category, you should also have the PERM Labor Certification issued by the DOL, and a job offer from a US employer for a job that specifically requires the exceptional abilities or advanced degree that you have.

To obtain the EB-2 Green Card, you should be sure you know all the steps you need to pass and priorities you should consider. Get in touch with your dedicated Green Card attorney.
