EB-2: Employment Based Greencard - Exceptional Ability in Sciences, Arts or Business

Aliens who qualify for an employment based greencard under the EB-2 – exceptional ability in sciences, arts, or business if they are “who because of their exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business will substantially benefit the national economy, cultural, or educational interests or welfare of the United States”.

Exceptional ability means having a degree and expertise significantly above that normally found within the field. Here the standard is “exceptional” and NOT “extraordinary” which comes under the EB-1 category.

    • Evidence of membership in professional associations.
