EB-4 religious immigration
EB-4 Religious Immigration
EB-4 religious immigration is an employment-based immigration based on potential job opportunities. The religious alien does not need to be working in the United States for the potential employer before and during the filing of Form I-360. Applicants must have 2 years of experience working in the same denomination, but these 2 years of work experience do not have to come from the potential employer. Although foreigners can apply for EB-4 religious immigration on their own, in most cases potential employers apply on their behalf.
Application Conditions
When applying for EB-4 religious immigration, both the employer and the foreign employee must meet certain requirements. The Immigration Bureau will generally judge whether the employer is a genuine religious institution and whether the foreign national will truly perform religious duties after arriving in the United States:
