EB-4
EB-4 is the special immigrant green card category. Our firm's work in this category focuses on religious workers: ministers and other people employed in a religious vocation or occupation.
Religious workers
What is generally evaluated
- At least two years of membership in the same religious denomination, immediately before filing
- At least two years of continuous, qualifying religious work in most cases
- A job offer from a qualifying nonprofit religious organization in the U.S.
- The religious nature of the position and how it will be compensated
Non-minister religious workers
The part of the program for religious workers who are not ministers depends on periodic renewal by Congress. Its availability needs to be confirmed at the time of the analysis.
Other EB-4 categories
EB-4 also includes other special immigrant groups defined by law. If you believe that one of them may apply to your situation, the firm can look into your case individually.
Common questions
Does the organization have to file?
In general, the petition may be filed by the religious organization or by the worker, and the organization's participation and documentation are part of the case.
Can my family be included?
A spouse and unmarried children under 21 may generally be included as dependents in the process.
