If you are an agricultural engineer in Brazil and want to immigrate to the United States, you can use your expertise as an engineer to obtain a Green Card and move permanently to the USA. How does this work?
How to get your Green Card
Agricultural engineering, like other engineering fields and medicine, is considered one of the most important areas for the development of the United States, which increases the chances of an agricultural engineer obtaining a Green Card using their professional experience. The field of science is one of those that can enable a professional to be eligible for an EB-1 or EB-2 visa.
These two visa categories exempt the eligible candidate from the need for a prior job offer in the United States, as their professional experience is of interest to the development and progress of the United States.
Salaries
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary of an agricultural engineer in the United States is 90 thousand dollars. These are the salaries in the states with the highest average annual salaries:
- California: 109 thousand dollars.
- Texas: 108 thousand dollars.
- Nebraska: 99 thousand dollars.
- Ohio: 98 thousand dollars.
- Indiana: 97 thousand dollars.
How to validate your engineering degree in the USA
To validate your engineering degree in the United States, you need to take the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) exams. Remember: in order to obtain authorization to work and reside legally in the United States, you must first obtain your Green Card from the American government.
Shortage of engineers in the US
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the shortage of engineers in the United States will reach 6 million professionals by the year 2026. Thanks to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) sanctioned by the Biden administration in 2021, the engineering market is very hot in the United States.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) plan calls for 1.2 trillion dollars in federal investment in roads, railroads, bridges, dams, ports, transit systems and energy across the country.
If you are an agricultural engineer and want to move permanently to the United States, now is the time!
It doesn't matter whether you want to enhance your professional career, earn your salary in dollars, move permanently from Brazil or guarantee a stable and prosperous future for you and your children: America is the ideal destination for you!
EB-2 Visa: How to get a Green Card
If you are an agricultural engineer and have more than five years ' proven experience in your field and exceptional skills in your field, you may be eligible for a Green Card!
The EB-2 visa was created by the American government in 1990 through the Immigration Act, designed to facilitate the migration of skilled workers to the United States, and thereby encourage technical, academic and financial progress in the United States.
This visa category allows a qualified worker to obtain their Green Card without the need for a prior job offer in the United States.
And one of the best advantages of this category of green card is that, if you are approved, your spouse and children under the age of 21 will also receive their respective green cards, so that your whole family can move to the United States alongside you.
