EB-2 visa

If you are a professional who has a degree, more than five years of professional practice, exceptional skills, and can prove that your profession is in an area of national interest to the United States, you may be eligible for a green card in the EB-2 category. 

And, in this visa category, if you are approved, your spouse and children under 21 will also be granted their respective Green Cards. All this without the need for a prior job offer in the United States.

Your profession is on the rise in the United States!

Several areas of engineering are strategic sectors for the U.S. government, and this places great value on your expertise as a professional.
