Going to the United States of America requires a lot of preparation and involves quite an amount of money. Preparing the requirements takes time; hence, Filipinos start as early as possible when they are decided to go to the US. Getting a visa involves both time and money. In addition, Filipinos need to know what type of visa they are getting before they process their application.
One of the most applied visa to the Unites States of America is EB2 visa. There are three different kinds of EB2 visa:
1. EB-2(A): This is for foreign nationals professionals with an advanced degree like masters or higher offered a job from a US company.
2. EB-2(B): This is for foreign nationals with “exceptional ability” in the field of science, business, or arts offered a job from a US company.
3. EB-2(C): This is for foreign nationals with exceptional ability, or an advanced degree who can be of substantially benefit to the US national interest.
It is safe to say that EB-2 visas are for professionals that have been offered a job in the US. In addition, they need to have a labor certification issued by the Department of Labor (DOL). This government agency makes it sure that foreign nationals who are seeking work in the US will not displace qualified US workers.
Here is a list of documents or requirements an individual has to present. Three of the following are needed:
An English proficiency score is also needed. Applicants should take the TOEFL or Test of English as a Foreign Language. The applicant should get a score of 26 in the speaking part and an overall score of 63 from the other parts: reading, listening and writing.
Since the TOEFL is a needed requirement, more and more individuals attend TOEFL classes in TOEFL review centers. In these review centers, candidates are taught necessary skills and strategies to get the target score most especially in the speaking assessment.
