Hello, Tech Professionals! Let's explore your visa options together.
EB-2 Visa: This traditional path requires employer sponsorship and a PERM process, which may take time. While it provides a well-established route to permanent residency, the process can be lengthy and dependent on your employer’s ability to sponsor.
?EB-2 NIW: Offering a streamlined approach, you can bypass the job offer and PERM process for quicker results. This option grants you more autonomy over your application, allowing you to showcase your qualifications and contributions to US national interests.
Why Consider EB-2 NIW?
1. Efficiency: Experience faster processing times. By eliminating the PERM process, EB-2 NIW can significantly reduce the time it takes to obtain your green card.
2. Autonomy: Petition for yourself and maintain control. With EB-2 NIW, you have the freedom to present your case directly to immigration authorities, highlighting your unique qualifications and achievements.
?EB-2 NIW Might Suit You If:
- Your skills contribute to US national interests. If your work directly benefits sectors crucial to US technological advancement, EB-2 NIW could be the ideal choice.
- Employer sponsorship for EB-2 is uncertain. If you're unsure about your employer's willingness or ability to sponsor you for an EB-2 visa, EB-2 NIW provides a viable alternative.
- You aspire to establish your own venture. For tech professionals with entrepreneurial ambitions, EB-2 NIW offers a pathway to permanent residency while pursuing business endeavors.
