Secure Your EB-2 Green Card: Permanent U.S. Residency

Fast-Track Your American Dream

Welcome to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s guide on the EB-2 Green Card! Among numerous visa options, the EB-2 is a strategic path to permanent U.S. residency for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities.

Why Choose the EB-2 Green Card?

Unlike the quick H-1B visa (processed in 2–4 weeks for graduates), EB-2 Green Cards take months (often over a year), making H-1B a common first step. With a three-year H-1B duration, you can work while pursuing an EB-2, allocated ~40,000 visas annually with minimal backlog compared to EB-3 (3–5 years).

EB-2 Eligibility

The EB-2 targets advanced degree holders (Master’s, PhD) or those with a BA plus five years of progressive experience in “specialty occupations” (e.g., technology, engineering, medicine). Key steps include:

Labor Certification (PERM)

Employers must advertise the job to U.S. workers via the Department of Labor’s PERM process. If no qualified U.S. candidates are found, a certificate is issued, allowing the employer to petition USCIS for your EB-2 Green Card. We simplify this complex process for you.

Job and Qualification Match

Your advanced degree must align with the job’s minimum requirements. For example, a lawyer or doctor with a professional degree is a clear match. However, roles like marketing executive may not qualify without a degree, even with high earnings ($300,000) or extensive experience.

Your Path to Success

With tailored guidance, we match your qualifications to the right EB-2 category, ensuring a strong application. Explore EB-1 or EB-3 options if needed. Contact us for a free consultation to craft your EB-2 Green Card strategy and secure your U.S. future today!
