We've seen that there are many myths surrounding employer-sponsored employment visas. Today I'll debunk the most common ones. Take note!
Myth: Only geniuses or experts in their field can qualify for the EB-2 with Labor Certification.
TRUE: While the EB-2 requires a high level of skill or achievement, you don't need to be a genius. Professionals with advanced skills, academic degrees, or relevant work experience may also qualify.
Myth: Employment certification automatically guarantees Green Card approval.
TRUE: While labor certification is an important step, it does not guarantee visa approval. USCIS must still review and approve the petition, and additional issues may arise during that process.
Myth: The EB-2 is only for highly specialized workers in technology or science.
TRUE: While many EB-2 recipients are in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields, you can also apply to fields such as education, business, arts, and more, as long as you demonstrate exceptional skills or an advanced degree.
Myth: Only large employers can sponsor EB-2.
TRUE: Employers of any size can sponsor an employee for EB-2, as long as they meet the labor and financial requirements set by the U.S. Department of Labor.
