Get Legal Help for I-140 Green Card Under EB-2 or EB-3

Employment-Based Immigrant Petition – Form I-140 (EB-2, EB-3)

At Ram Law Firm, we help employers and skilled professionals navigate the complexities of employment-based immigration through Form I-140 — the Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker. This critical step in the green card process allows U.S. employers to sponsor foreign nationals for permanent residency in employment-based categories such as EB-2 and EB-3.

What is Form I-140?

Form I-140 is filed by a U.S. employer to petition the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a foreign worker to receive a green card under specific employment-based categories. The most common among them are:

• EB-2: For individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability in their field.
• EB-3: For professionals (with at least a bachelor’s degree), skilled workers (with at least 2 years of training or experience), and other workers.

The Employer’s Responsibility

The I-140 petition is a demonstration by the employer that:

1. The foreign worker meets all the minimum qualifications required for the job as listed in the PERM Labor Certification (if applicable).
2. The employer has the ability to pay the offered wage, as established by the Department of Labor’s prevailing wage determination.
3. The job offer is genuine, full-time, and intended to be permanent.

USCIS requires documentation that substantiates both the employer’s financial ability and the beneficiary’s educational and professional credentials. This may include:

• Degrees, transcripts, and professional licenses
• Letters of experience
• Tax returns, annual reports, or audited financial statements

EB-2 vs. EB-3: Which Category is Right?

• EB-2 is ideal for positions that require an advanced degree or for individuals with exceptional ability in sciences, arts, or business.
• EB-3 typically suits professional-level positions that require a U.S. bachelor’s degree or equivalent, as well as jobs that demand specific vocational skills.

Choosing the right category impacts the speed of the green card process, especially considering the backlog and visa availability under each preference category. Our legal team works closely with clients to assess eligibility and recommend the best path forward.

Premium Processing

USCIS offers premium processing for Form I-140, allowing petitioners to receive a decision within 15 calendar days for an additional fee. This is particularly beneficial for employers on tight hiring timelines or employees pursuing adjustment of status.
