Typical Work-Based Immigrant Visas (Green Cards):

EB-5 — Investor green card that can be self-petitioned, designed for those who invest a substantial sum of money (currently, the minimum is $800,000) into a U.S. business, resulting in the creation of 10 new U.S. jobs. This can be achieved either through Direct Investment (being the sole EB-5 investor in a business) or an EB-5 Regional Center investment (which amalgamates funds from multiple EB-5 investors to finance larger ventures).

EB-1A — Residency sponsored by an employer or self-petitioned for individuals with demonstrated “extraordinary ability” in their respective fields (business, arts, sciences, athletics, etc) (green card equivalent of the O-1 visa)

EB-1B — Residency sponsored by an employer for exceptional professors and researchers.

 EB-1C — A type of residency sponsored by an employer for a Manager or Executive from a foreign company who has been transferred to a U.S. affiliate (this is the green card equivalent of the L-1A visa)

EB-2 — A type of residency sponsored by an employer for positions that necessitate a Master’s degree (this involves advertising the position and demonstrating that no U.S. workers were interested)

EB-3 — A type of residency sponsored by an employer for positions that require a Bachelor’s degree or no degree at all (this involves advertising the position and demonstrating that no U.S. workers were interested)
