EB-2/EB-3: "Science or Art" for Faster Green Cards

USCIS is making it easier for highly skilled individuals in science and arts to obtain green cards! Here's the update:

  • USCIS Adopts DOL Definition of "Science or Art" for exceptional ability petitions (EB-2/EB-3, Schedule A Group II).

  • What it Means: Determines if a field qualifies based on whether colleges offer specialized degrees in that field (aligns with Department of Labor definition).

  • No Policy Change: This update clarifies existing procedures and streamlines processing.

  • Focus on Evidence Quality: USCIS will continue to thoroughly review the quality and quantity of evidence provided in petitions.

This update simplifies the green card process for those with exceptional abilities in these fields.

For more details, refer to Volume 6, Part E, Chapter 7 of the USCIS Policy Manual.
