Programmer in the United States: how to get your Green Card

The United States is home to the world's largest technology market, and Silicon Valley, located in the state of California, comprises the largest innovation and technology hub on the planet.

And it is no coincidence that the biggest tech companies, such as Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet, have their headquarters in this region that is a hub for global technological development.

With more than 294,000 software developers working in the United States, the American technology market is always hot and in search of skilled professionals. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2031, 9,600 new positions will be created annually for programmers in the United States.

With an average salary above 90,000 dollars per year, these opportunities attract professionals from different countries, who are looking for stable careers, dollar salaries, and a good quality of life.

Also according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, these are the average annual salaries of programmers in different states in the USA:

  • New York: 108 thousand dollars.
  • Texas: 93 thousand dollars.
  • Pennsylvania: 97 thousand dollars.
  • New Jersey: 112 thousand dollars.

The states with the highest annual salaries for programmers, meanwhile, are: 

  • Washington: 126 thousand dollars.
  • California: 122 thousand dollars.
  • Colorado: 120 thousand dollars.
  • Virginia: 119 thousand dollars.

As you can see, the information technology area has excellent dollar salaries in the United States, and also an abundance of jobs. These remunerations can exceed 500 thousand reais per year, which makes a possible migration to the United States even more interesting.

And, even if your intention is not to live in the United States permanently, if you obtain a Green Card, you can eventually work in the United States and continue to reside in Brazil, which will certainly enhance your expertise as a professional.

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 visa 

Programming can be your passport to America!

In 1990, the U.S. government created the EB-1 and EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa categories for highly skilled workers who wish to immigrate to the United States.

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

Information technology and engineering are considered fields of national interest for the United States, and their expertise is highly valued in America.

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.
