Five types of American professional immigrants

# American Immigration # Introduction EB 1, EB2, EB3, EB4 and EB5 are all professional immigrants, aiming at most foreigners who want to move to the United States. According to different professional and personal conditions, it is divided into five priority categories. The higher the priority, the stricter the requirements for applicants and the shorter the relative scheduling. The following are the categories of American professional immigrants, welcome to read!

Article 1 Five Types of American Professional Immigrants

As the first priority of professional immigration, EB 1 (outstanding talents) can be divided into three categories, namely, outstanding talents in the field of EB 1A, professors and researchers of EB 1B, and directors or managers of EB 1C multinational companies. Applicants are required to be outstanding talents, professors, researchers or managers of multinational companies with special talents. There is no timetable for this kind of application, and there is no need to apply for a work permit or the support of the employer. It only needs to provide proof of the applicant's outstanding achievements in his field. In the category of EB 1, EB 1-C is distributed to outstanding people who invest in or manage American companies, so as to solve the employment problem for the American government and thus become outstanding talents in American business administration. The third category (EB 1-C) is aimed at senior managers of multinational enterprises.

As the second priority visa, EB2 (Professional/Technical Talents) is slightly lower than EB 1A in terms of professional requirements, but it requires the American employer to provide a work permit, requiring the applicant to have a master's degree or five years of work experience. The current popular NIW belongs to EB2. As a special case, it does not need an American employer, as long as the applicant has special talents in science, art or business. However, unlike EB 1A, NIW does not have the clear application criteria as EB 1A, and it still needs to face at least four years of scheduling.

EB3 (skilled/unskilled labor force), if the applicant does not meet the academic requirements of EB2, but the employer in the United States can provide support including full-time permanent work and can prove the shortage of labor force. The scheduling of EB3 will be longer than that of EB2, and the technical scheduling is generally about five years, and the non-technical scheduling generally takes 8- 10 years.

EB4 (Special Professional Immigrants) is mainly aimed at foreigners engaged in religious positions. Because the number of applicants is small, there is no need to schedule for the time being.

Finally, the most famous EB5 investment immigrant invested 500,000 US dollars in the EB5 project in the American regional center.

Article 3 Important Tips for Applying for Immigration of American Parents

(a) U.S. citizens whose parents apply need to submit two applications.

(2) If the parents of American citizens adjust their status in the United States, the application for i- 130/i-485 should be filed 60 days after the parents enter the country, otherwise, the application for i-485 will be rejected due to immigration tendency.

(3) The immigration law does not require the parents of American citizens to be valid when applying for i-485, as long as they are legally recognized. Therefore, even if the parents who apply for i-485 overstay in the United States, when their i-485 application is accepted by the Immigration Bureau, their status has been legalized, that is, they live legally, waiting for i-485 processing. During this period, they can apply for work permits, etc. However, the immigration law stipulates that if the applicant has lost his identity for more than six months when submitting the i-485, the immigration bureau will generally not approve the return paper to the United States. In some cases, the Immigration Bureau will still approve the documents for returning to the United States, but even if the applicant has a "return document" to leave the country, he may not be allowed to re-enter the United States. Because the immigration law stipulates that people who have lost their identity for more than six months are not allowed to enter the country for three years.

(4) The kinship between American citizens and their parents is extremely important in the examination of immigration applications. If the American citizen's father is not his biological father, but he married the American citizen's mother before his birth, and his father's name is written on the birth paper, then the father still meets the requirements of American immigration law.
