Meaning Unlike the first preference category (EB-1), EB-2 generally requires a specific, permanent job offer and a corresponding approved labor certification. The potential beneficiary has to rely on the employer to petition on his/her behalf. The labor certification process can be a very time consuming and costly affair for potential employers.
