More than 20 thousand Brazilians got their Green Cards in 2022. A record number that shows a strong recent trend of Brazilian migration to the United States.

If you are an engineer and want to move to the United States, know that engineering has excellent dollar remunerations in American territory. While an average annual salary of a civil engineer in Brazil is around 180 thousand reais, in the United States this value is 113 thousand dollars (540 thousand reais), a remuneration 3 times higher.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, these are the annual salaries in top engineering fields in the United States:

• Aerospace Engineers - 122 thousand dollars.
• Agricultural Engineers - 82 thousand dollars.
• Biomedical Engineers - 97 thousand dollars.
• Chemical Engineers - 105 thousand dollars.
• Civil Engineers - 88 thousand dollars.

In addition to good salaries, the American market is hot. In 2021, the US government sanctioned the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which provides for a state investment of up to 1.2 trillion dollars in infrastructure and development works.

This scenario favors you, who are an engineer and have extensive professional experience . 

The US market already has a shortage of engineers that could reach 6 million professionals by 2026, also according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

And skilled workers are valued in the United States: if you can prove that you have a solid resume that meets U.S. immigration expectations, and that your career is in the national interest of the U.S., you can get a green card under the EB-2 NIW category.

Whether you want to enhance your professional career, earn your salary in dollars, move permanently from Brazil, or secure a stable and prosperous future for you and your children, America is the ideal destination for you!

EB-2 NIW visa: What are the requirements?

If you are an engineer, have more than five years of experience and exceptional or extraordinary skills in your field, you may be eligible for a Green Card!

And, if you are approved for a Green Card under this visa category, your spouse and children under the age of 21 will also be granted their respective Green Cards.

All this without you needing a previous job offer in the United States.
