Questions? Answers.
Who can get an EB-4 visa?
Can a religious worker get an EB-4 visa?
Is there a wait for the EB-4 visa from Kosovo?
What are the U.S. employment-based immigrant visa categories (EB-1 to EB-5)?
Five, with about 140,000 visas each fiscal year. EB-1 is for people of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and multinational managers. EB-2 for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability. EB-3 for skilled workers, professionals and other workers. EB-4 for special immigrants, such as religious workers. EB-5 for investors in a new U.S. business that creates jobs.3
What is the priority date for a U.S. employment-based immigrant visa?
The day your petition was filed. Visas are issued in that order until each category’s yearly limit is reached, and yours cannot be issued before your priority date is reached. In some heavily oversubscribed categories that takes several years. The Visa Bulletin shows the latest dates.3
How does a U.S. immigrant visa start?
Usually with a petition. A U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative files Form I-130, or a U.S. employer files Form I-140, with USCIS. USCIS must approve it before your case moves to the National Visa Center (NVC).37
What happens after USCIS approves the petition?
USCIS sends your case to the National Visa Center (NVC). NVC creates it and sends you a Welcome Letter, with which you log in to CEAC. There you pay the fees and submit the forms and documents, and NVC reviews them before an interview can be scheduled. In categories with a yearly limit, you wait until a visa number is available for your priority date, the day the petition was filed.10
Which civil documents do I need for a U.S. immigrant visa?
Who must attend the U.S. immigrant visa interview?
You, the principal applicant, at any age, and each family member immigrating with you who is at least 14 on the day of the interview. A family member with their own case number attends at any age. Your petitioner does not need to attend.21
How do I check the status of my U.S. visa application?
On the State Department’s Visa Status Check, at ceac.state.gov. Choose your visa type, then enter your passport number and the first five letters of your surname.38
Can anyone guarantee a U.S. visa?
No. Any claim that someone can guarantee a visa is fraudulent. A consular officer decides at the interview whether you qualify.39
