Most employment-based aliens obtain legal permanent residency through the PERM labor certification application. This requires advertising (recruitment) to determine if any US workers are able, available, willing and qualified to fill the position. Some aliens may qualify to file a special immigrant visa petition to avoid the labor certification process. These petitions include: extraordinary ability (EB-1), outstanding researcher (EB-1), multinational executive (EB-1), national interest waiver (EB-2) and immigrant investor (EB-5).
