At Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC, we believe that your expertise deserves a global stage. For professionals seeking to build a permanent career in the United States, the EB-2 immigrant visa offers a prestigious pathway to lawful permanent residency (a green card). This category is designed for those who possess advanced degrees or demonstrate exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business.
The specific requirements of the EB-2 visa require precision and legal insight. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through every step, ensuring your unique qualifications are presented compellingly to U.S. immigration authorities.
Eligibility for the EB-2 classification falls into two primary sub-categories. Understanding which one applies to your situation is the first step toward a successful application.
Securing an EB-2 visa is a significant milestone that opens doors to long-term stability and professional growth.
The standard EB-2 process generally involves three main stages, though a National Interest Waiver can alter these steps:
To prove exceptional ability, you must provide evidence for at least three of the regulatory criteria. This often includes official academic records showing your degree, letters from current or former employers documenting at least 10 years of full-time experience, a license or certification to practice your profession, evidence of a high salary commanded by your exceptional ability, or membership in professional associations.
The timeline varies significantly depending on several factors, including whether a PERM Labor Certification is required (which can take several months to a year), current USCIS processing times for the I-140 petition, and visa availability for your specific country of birth. Premium processing is available for the I-140 petition in many cases, which can expedite that specific step to 15 business days or 45 business days, depending on the classification.
Generally, yes. Most EB-2 petitions require a specific job offer from a U.S. employer and a PERM Labor Certification. However, if you are applying for a National Interest Waiver, you may not need a job offer. We can determine if you are eligible and help you work through the application process.
The processing time for an EB-2 visa is dependent on various factors such as USCIS processing times, availability of visas for your country of birth, and any potential delays in the application process. Premium processing is available for some steps, which can expedite the process.
Our dedicated team is here to provide personalized guidance, ensuring your EB-2 application is accurate and timely. Whether you need help determining your eligibility, preparing documentation, or are facing legal hurdles with your application, we are committed to making the process as smooth as possible.

I had the pleasure of working with Marta Delgado for my immigration petition. From the moment I met with Marta, I felt confident she was the attorney I was looking for after many years of waiting. I was so nervous going into this process, but Marta walked me through the details more than once, giving me so much peace about it all. The process was seamless, and their turnaround time was QUICK! My whole case was started and closed within 10 months. I will always be grateful for their expertise and kindness along the way.
What a wonderful experience I had with Elizabeth and her team. Her professionalism made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the process we went through. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
I went through my Green Card and Citizenship applications with Elizabeth Rompf and every step of the way was fantastic. Incredibly professional, prompt, clear, and very attentive to details. I cannot recommend them enough! They're my absolute top pick for any immigration recommendations!
DRB helped us with securing a work visa for one of our staff members, communicated well, and helped explain the process.
I am full of gratitude while writing this review for Delgado Rompf Bruen Law. Thank you so much Marta for handling my case so beautifully. It has been only your diligence and professionalism in the work which guided my case to success. I am very fortunate to have you as an attorney. With other attorneys I've experienced ones who only took my money and promised to help me or never called me back. You're helping a lot of people with your honesty and great quality of work. I can't thank you enough. Yay, I am an American Citizen!
Elizabeth and her legal team were extremely helpful in my husband's green card case. They had us so prepared that the interview was a piece of cake. We didn't have a single issue. They were quick to reply to any questions we had and were very honest with us about any possible issues we could have. I would highly recommend her and her team.
I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process. She was consistently professional, knowledgable, and compassionate. She even leveraged her network to get specific information about my interview site in the Bay Area which was invaluable the day of my naturalization interview. She's the BEST.
I've struggle for over 10 years to get my Permanent Resident status and have been represented by 4 immigration lawyers over that period. The last one I hired and who was able to resolve my immigration case is Elizabeth Rompf Bruen. The contrast of how she handled my case and the other 3 lawyers was obvious from the beginning. She was always available when I wanted to talk to her and provided the updates in my case as soon as she had one. I also noticed a different level of knowledge and expertise in comparison to the other 3 lawyers....
Marta was the most professional, accurate and caring lawyer I’ve encountered in the 6 years I’ve been living in the US, her work ethics are unmatched and without doubt was the best decision for my process. I recommend her to anyone that needs help, you will feel listened and she is incredible when it comes to explaining this procedures in a simple and straight forward manner. She will be my first option again when the time comes in the future.
Elizabeth has been my immigration attorney on multiple cases. She handled my 3 different cases over past 7 years including the recent immigration case that got approval last month. Whenever I need attorney help, the only person I reach out to is Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable and very professional in handling any case. Elizabeth always kept me informed about the status of my case. She is very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
