What is an EB-2 Visa? Application Process and Timeline
The EB-2 visa allows highly skilled professionals and individuals with advanced degrees to apply for U.S. permanent residency at any time of the year. While applications are accepted continuously, the process depends on labor certification (PERM), I-140 petition approval, and visa availability under the monthly Visa Bulletin. For those applying under the National Interest Waiver (NIW), the process is faster since PERM is not required.
