What are the requirements to apply for skilled immigration to the United States

1. EB1 immigration application conditions.

EB-1 stands for Alien of Extraordinary Ability, which is divided into EB-1A Alien of Extraordinary Ability, EB-1B Professors or Researchers, and EB-1C Multinational Executives.

1. EB-1A Aliens of Extraordinary Ability.

EB-1A applicants do not need a labor certification and can apply independently without having already found a job in the U.S. at the time of application. However, the application industry is limited to scientists, scientific researchers, artists, athletes and ** families. Applicants need to have won the world's top awards, such as an Oscar or Nobel, and in the absence of such awards, applicants must be able to prove that they are among the top talents in the industry.

2. EB-1B professors or researchers immigrate.

EB-1B professors or researchers need to be sponsored by an employer, and the individual can only be a beneficiary. A qualified U.S. employer must have at least three full-time R&D personnel and documented R&D results and records. EB-1B applicants need to be internationally recognized and demonstrate that their outstanding academic achievements are internationally recognized.

3. EB-1C immigration of executives of multinational companies.

EB-1C means that the applicant must have two companies in China and the United States that have a mother-child relationship with each other, and the parent company and subsidiary meet certain requirements at the same time, before the applicant can apply for immigration as an executive. Applicants must have held a manager-level position or above within the company for at least one year in the last three years.

II. EB-2 Immigrant Application Requirements.

EB-2 Workers of Extraordinary Ability includes two subcategories: the regular EB-2 Labor Certification PERM and the non-regular NIW National Interest Waiver.

1. Regular EB-2 Qualified Worker (Employer Sponsored).

Regular EB-2 requires the support of an employer who has to make a hiring effort and prove that there is no suitable native U.S. for the job. In the case of applicants, applicants must have an advanced degree and, if they do not have a degree, be able to demonstrate that they have a higher aptitude in science, art or business than their peers.

2. NIW National Interest Exemption.

As the name suggests, the applicant's work must contribute to the U.S. national interest. For such individuals, the U.S. authorities will exempt them from submitting labor certifications, and the applicant does not need to be supported by an employer. However, applicants must also have an advanced degree or special skills in the sciences, arts, or business that exceed those of their peers.

There is no doubt that there are skilled immigrants in the United States. After the EB-5 investment immigration was blocked, skilled immigration is arguably the best way to immigrate to the United States. It has the advantage of sufficient quotas, short processing times, and EB-1A, EB-1C, and NIW also allow applicants to free themselves from the constraints of employers.

Although it seems that the conditions for skilled immigration are relatively strict, as long as the immigration policy is thoroughly studied and sufficient proof is submitted, the success rate of immigration is still very high.

Legal analysis: The conditions required for skilled immigration to the United States: 1. Character examination: the applicant needs to pass this inspection and cannot pose a threat to the public safety of the United States, mainly to provide a notarized certificate of no criminal record;

2. Physical examination: The main purpose is to check the applicant's health and avoid diseases that pose a threat to American public health, such as AIDS and high-risk infectious diseases;

3. Funding: Applicants need to have a certain degree of financial self-sufficiency, so as to be able to maintain the living expenses of the whole family in the United States for half a year to a year.
