Employment-Based Immigration Visa – Highly Qualified and Investor Application Process:
Professionals applying for a green card typically need to have a college degree or equivalent high qualification.
There are 10,000 Green Cards available annually for low-skilled workers.
Investors can obtain an EB-5 permanent resident card by creating jobs for ten individuals through capital investment in new US businesses.
The investment amount ranges from $900,000 to $1,800,000 depending on the employment conditions in the specific area. The green card is granted after two years if the promised investment is fulfilled and jobs are created during this period.

Permanent residents have certain advantages over visa holders when sponsoring non-US family members for family reunification. However, their sponsorship options are not as extensive as those of US citizens.
