EB-2 Advanced Degree

If you possess an advanced degree (i.e., generally considered to be a "Masters Degree" or higher), or an equivalent foreign degree, or you have a U.S. baccalaureate degree or an equivalent foreign degree and have at least 5 years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in your specialty, and you have a U.S. employer who is offering you a full time position which requires that type of degree (this may be waived in the National Interest), then you may be able to qualify for U.S. Permanent Residency under the EB-2 category for individuals with "ADVANCED DEGREES".

What this page does. Permanent residence, the status commonly called a green card, can be reached by more than a dozen separate legal routes. Each has its own eligibility rules, its own petition or application, and its own place in the annual numerical limits. This page maps those routes so that the relevant one can be identified quickly. Every entry is an outline only; the linked pages carry the detail.
