EB-2 Advanced & Exceptional Ability
The EB-2 category is a vital pathway for professionals. Our credentialed university professors provide the authoritative context required to satisfy USCIS that both the role and the candidate meet these high standards.
For professionals holding an Advanced Degree (Master’s or higher), or a Bachelor’s plus five years of progressive experience. We bridge the gap to prove your specific degree and experience align with the complex role.
Defined as expertise "significantly above that ordinarily encountered." We provide a custom analysis documenting your criteria, from 10 years of experience to industry recognition, satisfying strict USCIS standards.
Pathways to EB-2 Eligibility
Our experts provide specialized support for the two primary professional sub-categories of the EB-2 visa, evaluating your qualifications against specific regulatory requirements.
1. Advanced Degree Professional
For professionals who hold an Advanced Degree (Master’s or higher), or a Bachelor’s degree plus five years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience.
The Requirement: The position offered must be "Professional" (typically requiring at least a Bachelor's degree), but the associated labor certification must specify that an advanced degree (or its equivalent) is required for the role.
How We Help:
- We bridge the gap if USCIS challenges whether your specific degree aligns with the role.
- We specialize in demonstrating how a Bachelor’s degree plus 5 years of experience is equivalent to an Advanced Degree for EB-2 purposes.
- We prove your five years of experience truly constitute "progressive" responsibility.
2. Exceptional Ability
Defined as a degree of expertise "significantly above that ordinarily encountered" in the sciences, arts, or business. This is a higher standard than a typical professional but more accessible than EB-1.
The Requirement: To qualify, the beneficiary must meet at least three of the six regulatory criteria.
How We Help: Our letters provide a custom analysis of your career, documenting criteria such as:
- 10 years of full-time experience in the occupation.
- Professional licenses or certifications to practice.
- Memberships in professional associations.
- Evidence of a salary reflecting exceptional ability.
- Recognition for achievements and significant contributions to the industry.
