Question1: I need a detailed comparison between the EB-2 visa and the F1B visa, especially regarding family migration planning π¨βπ©βπ§. Please clarify the following:
β’ π Eligibility requirements β What qualifications are needed for each category?
β’ β³ Processing timelines β How long does each visa usually take?
β’ π― Purpose β What are the main goals of EB-2 versus F1B?
β’ π¨βπ©βπ§ Family support β How are dependents (spouse/children) accommodated in terms of living, studying, and work authorization (EAD)?
β’ π
Duration of stay β What is the permitted stay, and are renewals/extensions possible?
β’ π Path to residency β How do these visas compare for adjustment of status and permanent residency?
My goal is to determine which visa offers a more secure and sustainable pathway for long-term settlement in the U.S., balancing career growth and family stability.
