Can I apply for EB-4 with different churches simultaneously?

The EB-4 visa is intended for immigrants in special categories, such as religious workers, and requires that a single sponsoring entity, usually a church, file the petition proving the candidate’s eligibility to work in the religious field in the United States.

Submitting simultaneous petitions with different churches can cause conflicts, processing delays, and raise questions about the authenticity of the relationship between the candidate and the sponsor.

It is essential to strictly follow U.S. immigration laws, obtain official information, and, if possible, consult reliable experts to avoid scams and ensure that all documentation is correct and aligned with the required procedures.

Each case must specifically meet the EB-4 requirements, with adequate proof of the religious worker’s eligibility.
