Sponsoring Employment-Based immigration petition for Self-Employment: EB-2 or EB-1 I-140

1 year ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I have an EB3 I-140-based EAD currently. If I set up a software firm for myself, can I sponsor EB2 or EB1 I-140 for myself? The main reason why I want to sponsor myself is I would not be under the constant fear that my employer may withdraw my I-140 for one or other reason. I will be able to work for myself. Is there any rule that stops me from filing an employment-based immigration petition for myself?

FAQ Transcript

The answer is largely No, except under limited EB-1C circumstances.
