The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is a branch of the U.S. Department of the Navy responsible for advancing scientific research and technological innovation to support the Navy and Marine Corps' mission. Established in 1946, ONR facilitates partnerships between the Navy, academic institutions, industry, and government labs to ensure technological superiority and operational readiness.
Join Dr. Antti Makinen for an in-depth webinar on funding opportunities offered by the ONR. Discover how the ONR can support your innovative work with research funding opportunities.
Green Cards for Scientific Researchers—How to Win Your EB-1/NIW Case!
Apr 22, 2025
Interested in obtaining a permanent Green Card to work in the United States? Generally, a foreign national seeking permanent residence through employment must be sponsored by his or her employer via the PERM Labor Certification process.
There are numerous routes to employment-based permanent residence that do not require PERM Labor Certification, thereby allowing foreign nationals to avoid this complicated process while also reducing the wait time to obtain employment-based permanent residence.
This presentation will cover and compare the criteria for the EB-1A classification for foreign nationals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, the EB-1B classification for foreign nationals who are outstanding researchers or professors, and the National Interest Waiver (“NIW”) classification. The presentation will also discuss the different types of nonimmigrant visa work classifications.
