Due to its nature, in many instances the same information applies to business immigration as it does to employer based immigration, as previously discussed in the employer information page:
- EB1 – applies to those who have exceptional skills in:
- Business, the arts, science, education, athleticism
- This generally requires proof of professional membership, leadership and extraordinary ability
- EB2 – applies to those who have exceptional skills in:
- Business, science, the arts, and those who hold top degrees such as Ph.D’s.
- The EB1 and EB2 are often documented by the showing of awards, prizes and international recognition.
- EB3 – applies to skilled workers and those with basic college degree
- EB4 – applies to individuals with advanced skills in religion, interpretation, etc.
- EB5 – applies to investors who create jobs in the U.S. by investing $500,000 to $3 million
