The primary difference between the EB-5 Visa and the EB-2 and EB-3 Visas is that the EB-5 Visa is based upon the investment of the applicant creating jobs, whereas the EB-2 and EB-3 Visas are based upon the applicant being sponsored to work by a U.S. employer. A number of other differences exist between these three options, including the qualifications of the applicant and visa availability based on country of chargeability. When determining which options may be viable, quickest, and/or least risky, it is best to consult with an experienced immigration attorney.
