Second Preference EB-2

The Second Preference EB-2 category is a U.S. immigration option for skilled workers, professionals, and researchers who hold advanced degrees or possess exceptional abilities in their fields. Unlike some visas, the EB-2 usually requires a job offer and employer sponsorship, although those with exceptional abilities may apply for a national interest waiver, allowing them to self-sponsor. This visa is part of the employment-based immigration system, aimed at bringing talented individuals to contribute to the U.S. economy and society. It ultimately leads to permanent residency (a Green Card) for successful applicants.
