Frequnetly Asked Questions
An employment-based visa allows foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S. based on their skills, education, and job offer. Common categories include EB-1, EB-2 NIW, EB-2 with PERM, EB-3, and O-1.
No. The National Interest Waiver (NIW) allows you to self-petition without a job offer if you can demonstrate your work benefits the United States broadly.
Processing times vary, but most cases take between 8 to 14 months. Premium processing is now available for certain EB-2 NIW cases, which can shorten the wait.
While the O-1 is a non-immigrant visa, it can serve as a bridge to a green card through EB-1 or EB-2 categories. We can help you chart the right strategy.
Qualification depends on your background, field of work, and U.S. immigration goals. Contact UOA Immigration Lawyers for a strategic assessment of your eligibility.
