Extraordinary Ability:

A petition for a person of extraordinary ability must be accompanied by evidence that the alien has sustained national or international acclaim and that his/her achievements have been recognized in their field of expertise. The advantage to this type of application is that the individual does not require a job offer and, therefore, does not have to undergo a labor certification process, which can be complicated and extremely lengthy.

Outstanding Professors and Researchers:

Any United States employer intending to employ a professor or researcher who is outstanding in an academic field may make an application on behalf of the professor or researcher. This category requires an offer of employment from a prospective United States employer, however, there is no labor certification required.

An advanced degree is a United States academic or professional degree or foreign equivalent degree above that of a bachelor’s degree. A United States bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent degree followed by at least five years of progressive experience in the specialty shall be considered the equivalent of a master’s degree. This category ordinarily requires a job offer or labor certification. However, if it is proven to the Immigration and Naturalization Service that the applicant’s employment in the United States would be in the national interest (to be determined on a case-by-case basis), however, then s/he may be exempted from the job offer and labor certification requirement.

Skilled Workers, Professionals and Other Workers (EB-3)

The third permanent residence preference consists of skilled workers, professionals and "other workers". This category requires both a job offer from a United States entity and a labor certification.

A Professional means a qualified alien who holds at least a United States or foreign equivalent baccalaureate degree and who is a member of a profession.

A Skilled Worker means a person who is capable, at the time of petitioning for this classification, of performing skilled labor (requiring at least two years’ training or experience not of a temporary or seasonal nature) for which qualified workers are not available in the United States. Any relevant post-secondary education may be considered as training for the purposes of this provision.

Other Worker means a qualified applicant who is capable, at the time of petitioning for this classification, of performing unskilled labor (requiring less than two years’ training or experience not of a temporary or seasonal nature) for which qualified workers are not available in the United States.

The minimum amount of capital necessary to make a qualifying investment in the United States is $1,000,000 (US). The minimum amount of capital necessary to make a qualifying investment in a targeted employment area within the United States is $500,000 (US).
