For example, an EB-3 applicant may later qualify for EB-2, but the original case does not automatically upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What happens if I lose my job during the green card process?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your case depends on employer sponsorship (EB-1C, EB-2, EB-3), losing your job can affect your case. However, if your I-485 has been pending for 180+ days, you may be able to switch employers under AC21 portability rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do all EB categories require a job offer?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. EB-1A (extraordinary ability) and EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) allow self-petitioning. EB-3, EB-2 (most cases), and EB-1C require employer sponsorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is PERM and why is it important?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is a labor certification process. It proves no qualified U.S. worker is available for the job. It is required for most EB-2 and EB-3 cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can EB-5 investment money come from a loan?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, but the source of funds must be fully documented. The investor must prove the money is legal and traceable, even if borrowed.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Disclaimer: <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian Eagle claims no credit for the images featured on its blog site.
