EB2 Visa: Everything You Need To Know

The EB2 Visa is one of the most valuable tools for highly skilled professionals who wish to immigrate to the United States. This visa not only opens the door to better job opportunities, but also allows you and your family to obtain permanent residency.

At Abreu Law, we accompany our clients throughout the EB2 Visa application process, providing personalized advice on legal, academic, legal and technical aspects to ensure a successful application. Here we explain everything you need to know.

What is the EB2 Visa and who can qualify?

The EB2 Visa is an employment-based visa category designed for professionals with high academic standing or exceptional skills. Within this category, the NIW (National Interest Waiver) subcategory allows applicants to apply without the need for an employer or sponsor.

Who qualifies?

  1. Professionals with an advanced degree (master's, doctorate or equivalent work experience).
  2. People with exceptional abilities who stand out significantly in their field.

At Abreu Law, we evaluate your profile in detail to determine if you qualify and guide you through every step of the process.

Learn more about the specific process in our guide to the Visa EB2 USA.

Key Benefits of the EB2 Visa

Obtaining the EB2 Visa not only means access to permanent residency, but also:

  1. Professional independence: You can work in the field of your choice without depending on an employer.
  2. Residency for your family: Your spouse and children under the age of 21 can obtain a Green Card with you.
  3. Geographic flexibility: You are not limited to a specific state or city.

At Abreu Law, we help you structure your case to highlight these benefits and increase your chances of success.
