Can I use the same I-360 petition for another church?

It is important to understand that EB-4 visa petitions for religious workers, which use Form I-360, have specific requirements for each sponsoring organization. Each I-360 petition is based on a clear employment relationship and a job offer from a church or religious organization in the United States. Therefore, the petition is prepared with data and information linked to the sponsoring entity submitting it.

If you intend to work for another church, you will need that new organization to prepare its own I-360 petition, as the document is not transferable between organizations. Each church must demonstrate, according to EB-4 program criteria, that the offer and the relationship with the candidate meet the legal requirements supporting its religious activity in the United States. Reusing a petition already submitted on behalf of another entity can lead to complications and be interpreted as an attempt to circumvent immigration procedures.

It is always important to remember the significance of remaining in compliance with United States immigration laws. For this reason, it is advisable to consult specialized professionals to obtain detailed guidance and avoid falling victim to scams or marketing campaigns promising miraculous solutions. This way, you ensure the process is carried out correctly and without unnecessary risks.

In summary, each church must submit its own I-360 petition so that the EB-4 visa can be properly evaluated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, respecting all applicable guidelines.
