Example Output
EB-1C Analysis for Indian Software Engineer:
Eligible Categories: EB-2 (Advanced Degree), EB-3 (Skilled Worker) | Not EB-1 (lacks extraordinary ability threshold)
Recommended Strategy: EB-2 with concurrent I-140/I-485 filing
- Risk Level: Medium (India EB-2 currently retrogressed ~2 years)
- Timeline: PERM 6–12 months → I-140 4–6 months → I-485 12–18 months = 22–36 months
- Documentation Required: Degree certification, 5 professional references, publications, patent filings if available, detailed job description showing complexity
- Key Bottleneck: Visa bulletin retrogression (India EB-2 cut-off May 2022) — recommend concurrent filing to start I-485 while waiting for PD to become current
EB-3 Skilled Worker Analysis for Canadian Nurse:
Eligible Categories: EB-2 (possible if Master's degree or exceptional ability), EB-3 (Skilled Worker)
Recommended Strategy: EB-3 expedited filing
- Risk Level: Low (Canada no retrogression, immediate visa availability)
- Timeline: PERM 8–14 months → I-140 4–6 months → I-485 8–12 months = 20–32 months
- Documentation Required: RN license, employment verification, job description (must match Schedule A occupation), education credentials, work history letters
- Advantage: No visa bulletin delays expected; file I-485 concurrent or shortly after I-140 approval
