EB Visa Talk

Hosts Lily and Mia unpack the most misunderstood piece of the system: what a priority date is and how it is set, the monthly Visa Bulletin, the two charts (Final Action Dates vs. Dates for Filing), how to read your row, what C and U mean, retrogression and progression, and a concrete walkthrough with three applicants. General information only — not legal advice.

Hosts Lily and Mia draw the full map of the five employment-based categories: who each one fits, how the 140,000 annual numbers divide (28.6% for EB-1/EB-2/EB-3, 7.1% for EB-4/EB-5), the spillover waterfall that moves unused numbers between categories, the 7% per-country cap, and the three questions that put you in the right lane. General information only — not legal advice.

The series premiere. Hosts Lily and Mia map the entire U.S. employment-based immigration system: the five EB categories (EB-1 through EB-5), the four-stage pipeline (PERM labor certification, the I-140 petition, priority dates and the Visa Bulletin, I-485 adjustment vs. consular processing), why country of birth changes your wait, three costly myths, and six habits for the journey.
