EB Category Eligibility & Filing Strategy Analyzer
Analyze EB visa eligibility and optimize filing strategy instantly
What You Can Do
You systematically evaluate client credentials against EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 categories to identify the strongest visa pathway. The skill assesses eligibility gaps, estimates processing timelines, and recommends documentary evidence needed for each category—helping you prioritize which route offers the best success odds and shortest timeline.
Features
Evaluates credentials against EB-1 (priority workers), EB-2 (professionals with advanced degrees/exceptional ability), and EB-3 (skilled/unskilled workers) in parallel, scoring strength for each
Analyzes trade-offs (processing time, visa bulletin backlog, difficulty of evidence) across categories to recommend the optimal filing path for your client's profile
Identifies specific missing evidence for each category—certifications, publications, awards, job offer details, labor certification readiness—with guidance on how to strengthen weak areas
Projects realistic approval timelines based on category, country of birth, current visa bulletin priorities, and documented processing speeds
Flags common denial triggers for each category and scores risk level based on client's profile, work history, and evidence quality
Evaluates the quality and weight of provided credentials against USCIS standards—distinguishing between strong, moderate, and weak proof points
Generates a detailed, actionable checklist of all EB-1/EB-2/EB-3 requirements with notes on which are met, which need work, and alternative ways to satisfy each requirement
Example Output
EB-2 Recommended (66% success confidence)
Category Ranking:
- EB-1C: Not eligible (no controlling ownership in foreign business)
- EB-2: STRONG candidate (Ph.D. in Computer Science + 8 years industry experience + 3 publications)
- EB-3: Eligible but slower (12–18 month visa bulletin backlog vs. EB-2's 3–6 months)
Critical Gaps for EB-2:
- ☐ Need 1–2 more peer-reviewed publications (currently have 3, EB-2 typically wants 4–5 for stronger profile)
- ☐ Letters of recommendation from non-supervisory experts (industry leaders, not current employer)
Estimated Timeline: EB-2 via employment sponsorship: 18–24 months (PERM labor cert 6–12 months + I-140 2–4 months + consular processing 2–4 months)
Risk Flags: EB-2 PERM labor certification may face challenge on "no visa sponsor available" if salary is below prevailing wage for region; recommend market survey.
