One of the downsides of entering the United States as an immigrant is loneliness. A married person may enter the US as a Lawful Permanent Resident but meanwhile, they are really missing their wife and children. The K-3 nonimmigrant visa was created to help shorten the physical separation between foreign citizens and their US citizen spouses while they inch towards a Green Card.

EB1 Extraordinary Ability visa, also known as the EB1A or EB1EA visa, is the only EB-1 visa that allows you to petition directly on your own behalf, with the need for a US-based employer to first file for labor certification from the Department of Labor on your behalf. The EB, which is also processed much faster than the EB-2 or EB-3 categories, can be a magnet for highly accomplished and distinguished scholars, researchers, post-doctoral research fellows, PhD students and other advanced degree professionals.

The EB-2 Visa is designed for Second Priority workers. This refers to professionals with advanced degrees and people whose exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business is expected to substantially benefit the American economy, welfare, or cultural or educational interests.

The EB-3 Visa is designed for Third Priority workers. It exists because most people would not fit the elevated and demanding requirements of the EB-1 and EB-2 visas such as exceptional ability, global recognition, and advanced education. The EB-3 visa, with less exacting requirements, makes room for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers.
