Assisting employers and professionals through the realm of business immigration requires a specialized and intellectual approach. Envoy Immigration partners with employers and skilled individuals to streamline the process of obtaining permanent residency in the United States.

Permanent Residency Green Card Process
The United States offers various avenues for skilled foreign nationals to obtain lawful permanent residency, or a Green Card, through employment-based categories. These categories are designed to accommodate the diverse needs of employers and skilled professionals seeking to contribute to the American workforce. The Employment-Based Green Card process typically involves several preference categories, including EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3, each with its own set of eligibility criteria and requirements.
First Preference EB-1
The EB-1 preference category is employment-based and designed for individuals who possess extraordinary abilities in fields such as science, art, education, business, or athletics. Non-U.S. citizens with extraordinary ability are encouraged to apply including professors, researchers, multinational managers, and executives. The EB-1 allows foreign nationals to permanently live and work in the United States, is highly regarded, and doesn’t require a PERM labor certification. Our team conducts a meticulous review of each client’s history and qualifications to assess eligibility accurately. Our goal is to streamline the entire process for our clients, ensuring a smooth and efficient path toward achieving your immigration objectives.
Second Preference EB-2
The EB-2 preference category provides a pathway to permanent residency in the United States for individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities in specific fields. If you hold a master’s degree or higher, you may qualify. Alternatively, if you’re recognized nationally or internationally in fields like science, art, business, or athletics, you may be eligible. Under certain circumstances, you may be eligible for a National Interest Waiver, allowing you to self-petition and bypass the PERM labor certification requirement. This is particularly beneficial for those whose work serves the national interest of the United States. Our dedicated team will guide you through the entire process with keen precision.
Third Preference EB-3
The EB-3 preference category provides a route to permanent residency in the United States for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers. Skilled Workers are those who possess specific skills and at least two years of training or work experience. If you have a bachelor’s degree or its foreign equivalent in a relevant field, you may be eligible under this preference category. Those in positions requiring less than two years of training or experience may also qualify. The EB-3 category presents a well-defined pathway to achieving permanent residency in the United States, and we are committed to ensuring a seamless and successful journey for our clients.
Fourth Preference EB-4
The EB-4 preference category is designated for special immigrants, encompassing a diverse range of individuals including religious workers, certain employees of international organizations, translators, certain juveniles, and U.S. government employees abroad. Eligibility for the EB-4 category is contingent upon meeting specific criteria tied to each subcategory, and our legal team stands ready to provide tailored guidance to those seeking permanent residency through this unique avenue.
