EB-4: Special Immigrants & Religious workers

This employment based category of USA visas (EB-4) allows workers to immigrate to live and work in the USA. These include ministers, people working in professional positions or those working in a religious vocation or occupation and must possess either a US baccalaureate degree or the foreign equivalent.

The employee is required to have worked in the religious organisation for two years before admission into the states.

10,000 visas are allocated to this category annually plus any visas remnant from the other three employment based categories.
