The letter of intent for the U.S. Employment-Based (EB) visa is a document in which the applicant explains the purpose of their visa application and the reasons for wishing to immigrate to the United States. This letter, also known as a Letter of Intent or Personal Statement, is particularly important for the EB visa category, which is employment-based. These visas are divided into subcategories, such as EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3, which apply to different types of professionals, workers, and individuals with extraordinary abilities. The purpose of the letter of intent is to demonstrate that the applicant is qualified for the desired visa, has a genuine interest in living and working in the United States, and is willing to contribute to the American economy and society, in line with the requirements of the specific EB category they are applying for.
Typically, the letter of intent begins with an introduction in which the applicant introduces themselves and indicates which EB visa is being requested, such as the EB-1 for individuals with extraordinary abilities or the EB-2 for those with advanced degrees. At this point, the applicant can contextualize their education, skills, and the reasons why they believe they are qualified for the visa.
Next, the letter should explain the applicant’s motivations and objectives for immigrating to the United States. They should detail the reasons for this decision, such as career opportunities or the desire to contribute to a specific industry, as well as how their skills or experience may benefit the country.
It is essential that the letter also addresses the candidate’s professional and personal qualifications, detailing their experience, academic background, and any awards or distinctions that qualify them for the visa. Furthermore, it is important to explain how this background aligns with the criteria of the visa subcategory.
The applicant should reaffirm their desire to settle in the United States and contribute positively to the country. Expressions of gratitude for the consideration of the application and a commitment to the immigration process are appropriate elements for closing the letter.
The letter of intent is a key part of the set of documents that must be submitted in the EB visa application process, helping to demonstrate that the applicant is qualified and that their application is serious and well-founded.
