Who is eligible for the EB-2 Visa?
There are two groups eligible for this type of Green Card.
1. Foreign nationals holding an advanced degree or its equivalent, in order to receive the Green Card must apply for a job in the U.S. which requires the advanced degree together with five years of experience and progressive work on the field. And
2. Foreign nationals with exceptional abilities, must demonstrate a ‘’degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered’’ in the business, sciences, arts, or medicine. For both categories, a PERM is required, but in some cases, if petitioners work in the U.S. would greatly benefit the U.S., they may request to withdraw this requirement and instead sign the National Interest Waiver.
Green Card Student Benefits!
Having a Green Card and wanting to study in the United States is a big advantage because higher tuition fees are charged to out-of-state and foreign students by many universities, colleges and technical schools.
Because you would be considered an in-state resident, you would not have to pay the same tuition fees other international students pay.
If the tuition fees are still too much for you then, you can also apply for financial aid to help you with the costs!
Which Forms should a Petitioner file for your Green Card?
When applying for a Green Card, in most cases applicants need someone else in the United States to file a petition for them and complete a few Forms.
The most common Forms are:
Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative);
Form I-730 (Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition),
Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal)
and Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker).
Other Forms which are less common are: Form I-918 (Petition of U Nonimmigrant Status); Form I-929 (Petition for Qualifying Family Member of a U-1 Nonimmigrant); Form I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant) and Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur).
Green card holders are lawful permanent residents of the United States.
There were around 14 million green card holders where 10 million of them were eligible to become a lawful citizen of the US.
How does Green Card Lottery work?
To summarize the procedure there are five steps:
1. Applicants apply;
2. Applicants are selected at random using a computer;
3. The selected applicants are then screened through an interview process;
4. Those that pass the screening process are awarded immigrant visas and
5. Upon entry into the U.S., they are awarded their green card.
