Our Expertise
We specialize in helping professionals and researchers secure U.S. green cards through the EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability) and EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa categories.
EB-1A
(Extraordinary Ability Visa)
For exceptional achievers in any field science, education, business, arts, or sports.
If you’ve reached the top of your profession or made notable contributions in your area, the EB-1A category allows you to apply for a U.S. green card without employer sponsorship.
You qualify if you can show:
Recognition for your work or major achievements
Publications, media features, or awards in your field
Membership or active role in professional associations
Why it matters:
The EB-1A visa rewards exceptional individuals whose work creates impact and EBPathway helps you package your achievements to meet the standards of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) the U.S. government agency responsible for processing all green card and immigration applications.
EB-2 NIW
(National Interest Waiver)
For professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability whose work holds national or social importance.
If your expertise contributes to areas that benefit the United States — such as technology, healthcare, education, or public development — the EB-2 NIW allows you to apply for a U.S. green card without employer sponsorship.
You may qualify if you can show:
A master’s degree or equivalent professional experience
Work that supports the public good or national interest
Research, achievements, or projects with real-world impact
Why it matters:
The EB-2 NIW recognizes professionals whose work advances national priorities — and EBPathway helps you organize your achievements and prepare documentation that meets USCIS requirements for approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need to file my application?
It’s easy! We only need photocopies of your documents. USCIS allows applicants to submit photocopies of documents and signed immigration forms. Our immigration attorney will file photocopies of your documents and signed forms to the appropriate USCIS office from our location.
When will USCIS register my application?
Electronically filed forms are registered the same day. Hard copy applications submitted by mail will be registered in 4-7 weeks.
Will you file the forms online or by mail?
Some forms are filed electronically (for example, citizenship applications and petitions for family members, Form I-130). Some forms are submitted via hard-copy through the mail to USCIS offices (for example, Form I-485, I-751).
Will I need to pay for anything else?
No. You will not be charged for anything else. Fees provided on our website are one-time, flat fees. Your EB Pathway fees also include:
Postal expenses (USPS Priority 2-day delivery with a tracking number is included).
Requests for Evidence (RFE)
and any additional work with USCIS is included in EB Pathway fees.
How long will it take EB Pathway to file my application?
We will submit your application in 1-3 business days after you provide us with the complete set of your documents and personal information.
How long will it take to get a green card?
It’s difficult to project a specific timeframe for immigration applications. It can take anywhere from 1 to 2 years to complete a family-based green card application. Check our USCIS Processing Times for more information.
