EB-2 Visa Attorney in Chicago — Advanced Degree & Exceptional Ability

The EB-2 preference category provides a path to permanent residence for professionals with advanced degrees and individuals with exceptional ability. At Liberum Law, our EB-2 visa attorneys in Chicago handle both PERM-based EB-2 petitions and National Interest Waiver (NIW) self-petitions.

EB-2 eligibility requires either an advanced degree (master’s or higher, or bachelor’s plus five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience) in the relevant field, or exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business demonstrated by meeting at least three of six regulatory criteria. The EB-2 National Interest Waiver allows qualified individuals to self-petition without employer sponsorship or PERM labor certification by demonstrating that their proposed endeavor has substantial merit, they are well-positioned to advance the endeavor, and it would benefit the United States to waive the job offer requirement.

Our EB-2 practice includes PERM labor certification and I-140 petition preparation, National Interest Waiver case strategy and filing, priority date recapture and porting strategies, and adjustment of status or consular processing.
