Employment-based immigration allows foreign workers to permanently immigrate to the United States with an Employment-Based Immigrant Visa (EB Visa).
Approximately 140,000 employment based visas are made available to immigrant workers each year by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
The U.S. has a high demand for skilled workers and frequently cannot find American workers with the required skills to fill open jobs. Competition is fierce for the limited number of visas that are available each year.

In most cases, an applicant seeking an employment based green card must have a job offer from an employer who has already obtained labor certification approval from the U.S. Department of Labor.
The employer usually files Forms I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for the employment-based preference category that applies in the particular situation.
There are five Employment Based visa categories Employment First Preference (EB-1 visa), Employment Second Preference (EB-2 visa), Employment Third Preference (EB-3 visa), Employment Fourth Preference (EB-4 visa) and Employment Fifth Preference (EB-5 visa). The processing times on each vary on a case-by-case basis.
A qualifying investment must, within two years, create full-time jobs for at least 10 U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or other immigrants authorized to work in the United States, not including the investor and the investor’s spouse, sons, or daughters.
