EB-4 Visa – Special Immigrant Category

The EB-4 visa is a fourth-preference employment-based immigrant visa designed for a wide range of special immigrant groups. It allows eligible individuals—such as religious workers, international broadcasters, certain U.S. government employees abroad, and others—to apply for permanent residency (Green Card) in the United States.

At AK Consultancy, we provide personalized, expert support for these unique immigration cases, ensuring your application meets all category-specific requirements.
