Employment-Based Green Card

Permanent residence for skilled workers in fields with labor shortages or exceptional ability.

Overview

Employment-Based (EB) Green Cards offer a pathway to Permanent Residence in the United States for skilled workers. The system is tiered into preferences (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3) based on skills, education, and labor shortages. Securing a Green Card is a multi-step process involving labor certification (PERM) and immigrant petitions, often requiring long-term strategic planning due to priority dates and per-country caps.
