For many professionals, an EB (Employment-Based) Petition is a gateway to global opportunities. Yet, the process can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks it down into clear, manageable steps:
Step 1: Determine Eligibility
The U.S. EB visa system has multiple categories (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, etc.), each with specific requirements. The first step is identifying which category you qualify for.
Step 2: Gather Supporting Documents
Strong documentation is critical. This includes academic credentials, work experience, awards, letters of recommendation, and proof of achievements.
Step 3: File the Petition
Your employer or sponsor usually files Form I-140 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In certain EB categories (like EB-1A or EB-2 NIW), individuals can self-petition.
Step 4: Await USCIS Decision
USCIS will review your petition, verify documents, and decide if you qualify. This stage may take months depending on processing times.
Step 5: Visa or Green Card Processing
Once approved, you’ll move on to consular processing (if outside the U.S.) or adjustment of status (if already in the U.S.).ould linger in your readers’ minds, inspiring them to explore further or apply what they’ve learned.
