The process of obtaining an EB2 visa in Sacramento involves several steps. Our experienced immigration attorneys will guide you through each stage, ensuring your application is properly prepared and submitted.
We'll determine if you qualify for EB2 classification based on your advanced degree or exceptional ability, and whether you might be eligible for a National Interest Waiver.
Unless you qualify for a National Interest Waiver, your employer will need to complete the PERM labor certification process, demonstrating that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position.
We'll help prepare and file the I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, documenting your qualifications and eligibility for the EB2 category.
If you're already in the U.S., we'll help you file for adjustment of status (Form I-485) when a visa number becomes available. If abroad, you'll go through consular processing.
You'll attend a biometrics appointment, and possibly an interview at the Sacramento USCIS office. We'll thoroughly prepare you for this important step.
Upon approval, you'll receive your permanent resident card (green card), allowing you to live and work permanently in the United States.
Note: The EB2 visa category is subject to annual numerical limitations and country-specific caps, which may result in waiting periods for applicants from certain countries. Our Sacramento immigration attorneys can help determine your eligibility and the best strategy for your specific situation.

Answers to the most common inquiries about EB2 visas in Sacramento
The EB2 visa is for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability, placing it between the EB1 (priority workers) and EB3 (skilled workers) categories. EB2 typically has shorter wait times than EB3 but longer than EB1. The unique aspect of EB2 is the possibility of obtaining a National Interest Waiver, which eliminates the need for labor certification and a job offer.
The timeline varies based on several factors, including your country of birth and whether you're pursuing a National Interest Waiver. For applicants not from oversubscribed countries, the process typically takes 1-2 years. The PERM labor certification (if required) takes 6-8 months, I-140 processing takes 4-6 months (or 15 days with premium processing), and adjustment of status takes 6-12 months. Our attorneys can provide a more specific timeline based on your circumstances.
A successful NIW petition requires substantial evidence demonstrating that your work has significant merit and national importance, that you're well-positioned to advance this work, and that it would benefit the U.S. to waive the normal requirements. Evidence may include publications, citations, patents, letters from experts, media coverage, funding grants, and documentation of your role in important projects. Our Sacramento immigration attorneys specialize in building compelling NIW cases.
Yes, through the National Interest Waiver (NIW) pathway. The NIW allows you to self-petition for an EB2 visa without a job offer or labor certification if you can demonstrate that your work is in the national interest of the United States. This is particularly valuable for researchers, entrepreneurs, and professionals whose work has broader impacts beyond a single employer.
The USCIS Sacramento Field Office is located at 650 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814. This is where adjustment of status interviews take place after your I-140 petition is approved. Our attorneys are familiar with this office and can help prepare you for your interview and any location-specific procedures.
