Understanding the EB-4 Visa Process

The EB-4 visa requires detailed documentation to prove your qualifications, employment, and eligibility under the specific immigrant category.

The process generally includes:

Filing the petition. A U.S.-based religious organization or employer typically files Form I-360 with USCIS on your behalf.
USCIS review. The agency evaluates the petition, including your qualifications, job duties, and supporting documentation.
Visa processing. If the petition is approved and a visa is available, the applicant either adjusts status (if already in the U.S.) or goes through consular processing abroad.

At Toppins Law Firm, P.C., we work closely with you and your organization to prepare thorough applications and respond to any requests for more information.

What Is an EB-4 Visa?

The EB-4 visa category is intended for certain “special immigrants,” a term defined under U.S. immigration law.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Religious workers performing ministerial or religious duties
Employees of U.S. foreign service posts
Certain retired employees of international organizations
Juvenile dependents declared dependent on a juvenile court
Broadcasters working for the U.S. Agency for Global Media
Certain physicians licensed and practicing in the U.S. since before January 9, 1978

For many religious professionals and nonprofit workers in Houston, this visa can provide a stable immigration solution leading to permanent residence.

FAQs

Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may be eligible to apply for immigrant visas or green cards based on your EB-4 status.
