Can Your Career Help You Qualify for a U.S. Green Card? Ask an Immigration Attorney.

Hi everyone!

I'm Zoe Ji Wilson, a U.S. immigration attorney with Manifest Law, where I help professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, artists, and other highly skilled individuals navigate employment based immigration, including EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1, and other employment based green cards.

Many people spend years building an impressive career without realizing those same accomplishments may also strengthen their immigration options. Publications, leadership, awards, business achievements, and specialized expertise can all play a role depending on the immigration pathway.

Whether you're early in your career or already established in your field, I'm happy to answer your questions and help explain how some of these immigration pathways generally work.

Happy to discuss:

• EB-1A and EB-2 NIW eligibility
• O-1 visas
• Career achievements that strengthen a case
• Employer sponsorship versus self petitioning
• Long term immigration planning

I'll be answering questions today from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM ET.
