How to get a Green Card?

If you want to move to the United States permanently, know that there are visa categories in which US immigration grants green cards to professionals with outstanding CVs and exceptional skills. 

And it is these visa categories(EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4 and EB-5), created through the Immigration Act (1990), that allow the phenomenon of the "brain drain" of qualified professionals from all over the world to the United States.

This phenomenon is only growing in Brazil, and more than 20,000 Brazilians obtained their Green Cards in 2022, most of them eligible through the EB-2 NIW visa category.

Proving your skills

Immigration accepts as proof of exceptional or extraordinary ability, national and international recognition, and evidence that your remuneration is well above the average for professionals in the same field. Awards for significant turnover figures on online marketing platforms, for example, are proof that your business skills are recognized and genuine.

And what are the other requirements to be eligible for an EB-2 NIW visa?

EB-2 NIW Visa: Requirements

If you are a teacher or university professor and have more than five years ' professional experience, 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.
