EB-2 Visa for Professionals with Exceptional Skills
The EB-2 visa is an immigrant category that allows highly qualified professionals—such as scientists, engineers, physicians, entrepreneurs, and experts with demonstrated impact—to obtain permanent residence (Green Card) in the United States.
This category is based on the EB-2 visa with a job offer and PERM labor certification, a structured process for qualified professionals sponsored by a U.S. employer.
