Hello gents,
i recently have started to see more and more posts on social media such as linkedin, FB, etc..., rumors among colleagues and websites claiming that since the shortage of pilots in the USA, it is now allowed to apply for a Green Card in the US if you are a foreign pilot.
http://agimmigration.law/en/aviation/
TO ENCOURAGE THE ARRIVAL OF QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS TO THE UNITED STATES., WHICH CAN BE EXTENDED TO PILOTS, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DESIGNED A VISA PROGRAM FOR FOREIGN PROFESSIONALS WHO WISH TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COUNTRY’S LABOR MARKET BY WORKING IN AREAS OF NATIONAL INTEREST.
The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa serves exactly these professionals with outstanding experience and academic background as a pilot. This is a visa that grants the right to legal and permanent residence in the USA through a Green Card. In many cases, a foreign pilot can plead for the EB-2 NIW without even needing a job offer in the U.S., based solely on their qualifications.
This is just the first website i found out but there are many others who claim the same.
Is it a Scam or legit?
Thanks
Regards
