Overview

• Priority categories highlighted include EB-1 and EB-2 with National Interest Waiver, plus EB-4 religious workers and EB-5 investor immigrants.
• The eligible profiles cited cover scientists, standout researchers or professors, multinational executives, advanced-degree professionals, and persons of exceptional ability.
• The core pathway remains unchanged: employer files Form I-140, applicants check visa availability, then file Form I-485 in the U.S. or complete DS-260 at a consulate.
• USCIS stresses exact form usage, valid identity documents and compliant photos, with heightened verification of family relationships and more rigorous background reviews.
• Post-approval card issuance is commonly reported at roughly 2 to 12 months, and cases can still be denied or later revoked under INA grounds such as crimes, fraud, immigration violations, security or health issues, or public-charge findings.
