Foreign national workers in certain health care professions and aliens of exceptional ability are able to obtain permanent residency in America through the Schedule A Visa category.
This visa category allows for up to 50,000 'recaptured' visa numbers per year to be distributed to qualifying professionals, and as there is currently no visa backlog for this category, it means visa applicants are able to fast-track the process of obtaining permanent residency.
The process to apply for an Immigrant Visa is simplified for Schedule A workers who have a job offer to work in America because they are not required to obtain a labor certification from the Department of Labor.
To be eligible for an Immigrant Visa a Schedule A workers must have a job offer from a US employer to work in America. The US employer may petition for the Schedule A worker to apply for an immigrant visa either at a US Embassy abroad or in the US.
