Am I eligible for EB-4 in Seattle?

18.08.2025 21:29:07 Yes, as a religious worker volunteering in Seattle, you may qualify for a green card under the EB-4 special immigrant category. The EB-4 category is designated for "special immigrants," which includes religious workers among other groups. To qualify as a religious worker under this category, you need to meet certain criteria: 1. **Employer Sponsorship**: You must be sponsored by a bona fide nonprofit religious organization in the United States that is affiliated with a religious denomination. 2. **Religious Occupation**: You must have been a member of the same religious denomination as your prospective employer for at least two years prior to filing the petition. Additionally, you should be entering the U.S. to work in a full-time compensated position in one of three capacities: - As a minister of religion, - In a professional capacity in a religious vocation or occupation, - Or in another religious vocation or occupation. 3. **Previous Experience**: You must have at least two years of continuous membership and work experience in the denomination immediately preceding your application. 4. **Compensation**: Although volunteer positions are generally not compensated, for the purposes of an EB-4 visa, you typically need to show that you will receive some form of compensation (which could include room and board). 5. **Intentions**: You must intend to work in your occupational role continuously after obtaining your green card. If these conditions are met, your sponsoring organization would file Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant on your behalf with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If approved, you can then apply for adjustment of status if you're already in the U.S., or apply for an immigrant visa if you're outside the country. It's advisable to consult with an immigration attorney or specialist who can provide guidance specific to your situation and help ensure all requirements are properly addressed during your application process.

18.08.2025 21:43:41 You may qualify for a green card under EB-4 if you are a paid religious worker employed by a nonprofit religious organization in the U.S. You must show at least two years of prior work in your religious vocation or occupation before applying. Simply volunteering, without a formal paid position, does not make you eligible for EB-4.

18.08.2025 21:44:02 EB-4 for religious workers requires that you’ve been a member of a recognized nonprofit religious organization for at least 2 years and that you work in a full-time, compensated religious position (minister or another religious vocation/occupation). Purely volunteer work doesn’t qualify — you need a paid role with the organization, and the organization must file Form I-360 for you.
