"Immigration law is not just paperwork - it is the architecture of someone's future. We treat every case with that weight in mind."

Schedule a confidential consultation to discuss your visa options and build a strategy that works for you.

The EB-1 category is the gold standard of employment-based immigration — reserved for individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary achievement in their field. It offers significant advantages: no PERM labor certification is required, and processing times are generally faster than other employment-based categories.

Who qualifies for EB-1A — Extraordinary Ability? Individuals in science, arts, education, business, or athletics who have reached the top of their field. Evidence may include major awards, published work, high salary relative to peers, critical roles in distinguished organizations, original contributions of major significance, and more.

Who qualifies for EB-1B — Outstanding Researchers & Professors? Researchers and professors with international recognition for outstanding contributions in their academic field, at least three years of experience, and a job offer from a U.S. university or research institution.

Who qualifies for EB-1C — Multinational Managers & Executives? Executives or managers transferring to a U.S. affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company, with at least one year of employment abroad in the past three years in a managerial or executive role.

What we do:

• Evaluate your profile and identify the strongest evidentiary basis for your petition
• Draft a comprehensive petition letter that presents your achievements in USCIS-approved legal framework
• Curate and organize supporting evidence for maximum impact
• Respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and handle appeals if needed

The EB-2 category serves professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. Within EB-2, the National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a powerful pathway that allows qualified individuals to self-petition — bypassing the requirement for employer sponsorship and PERM labor certification.

Who qualifies for EB-2 with NIW? Individuals whose work is in an area of substantial intrinsic merit, whose benefit is national in scope, and where the national interest would be served by waiving the job offer requirement. This is particularly well-suited for researchers, physicians, STEM professionals, entrepreneurs, and policy experts.

Who qualifies for standard EB-2? Professionals with a U.S. master’s degree (or foreign equivalent), or a bachelor’s degree plus five years of progressive experience, sponsored by a qualifying U.S. employer through the PERM process.

What we do:

• NIW petition drafting and strategy — including “prong analysis” to demonstrate national interest
• PERM labor certification support and employer compliance counseling
• I-140 immigrant petition preparation and filing
• I-485 adjustment of status or consular processing coordination

The EB-3 category is the most commonly used employment-based green card path for professionals and skilled workers. It requires a permanent, full-time job offer from a U.S. employer and PERM labor certification from the Department of Labor.

EB-3 Subcategories:

• Professionals — Baccalaureate degree or foreign equivalent in a field directly related to the position
• Skilled Workers — Positions requiring at least two years of training or experience
• Other Workers — Unskilled positions requiring less than two years of training

What we do:

• Employer counseling on PERM requirements and recruitment obligations
• DOL audit response and compliance documentation
• I-140 petition preparation
• I-485/consular processing support
• Employment contract and immigration support documentation drafting

We believe that a successful immigration case is built on thorough preparation, honest strategy, and clear communication. Here is what to expect when you work with JBek Law.

Step 1 — Initial Consultation We start with a confidential consultation to review your background, employment situation, and immigration goals. We evaluate which visa category best fits your profile and outline a realistic strategy – including timeline, costs, and any potential challenges.

Step 2 — Case Strategy & Document Preparation Once retained, we build your case from the ground up. For EB-1 and EB-2 NIW petitions, this means identifying and organizing your strongest evidence. For EB-3 matters, it means managing employer compliance requirements alongside your petition. We draft every document with USCIS and DOL adjudicators in mind.

Step 3 — Filing & Government Communication We handle all filings and serve as your point of contact with government agencies. If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE) or notice of intent to deny, we respond promptly and thoroughly.

Step 4 — Ongoing Updates & Support You will always know where your case stands. We provide proactive updates and are available to answer questions throughout the process.

Step 5 — Approval & Next Steps Upon approval, we guide you through the next phase – whether that’s adjustment of status, consular processing, or subsequent steps toward naturalization.
