The EB-2 visa is a U.S. immigration category designed for foreign nationals who possess advanced degrees or exceptional abilities in their fields. This visa allows qualified individuals to live and work in the United States, contributing their skills to the economy. Applicants typically need a job offer from a U.S. employer, although some may qualify for a National Interest Waiver, which allows them to bypass the job offer requirement. To qualify for the EB-2 visa, applicants must demonstrate their advanced degree, which is usually a master's degree or higher, or show exceptional ability in areas such as science, arts, or business. The process involves submitting various documents, including educational credentials and letters of recommendation, to prove eligibility.
