Funding willingness alone does not determine eligibility or the correct arrangement. Review the official route and the proposed applicant on the actual facts.
Keep the source of payment separate from the decision
A company payment does not replace the EB-1 or EB-2 basis, admissibility or visa availability. Clarify the intended arrangement before relying on the corporate label.
The official description sets out a process in which the applicant submits an application with a processing fee, undergoes vetting, and makes the gift, after which eligible applicants receive permanent residence through an employment-based category subject to visa availability. Keep the payer, applicant, programme type, and reimbursement agreement in separate records, and re-verify official instructions before transferring any money. What does not change is the destination: EB-1 and EB-2 are existing employment-based categories with their own eligibility standards, admissibility screening and annual visa limits. Successful cases receive lawful permanent residence through EB-1 or EB-2 as appropriately determined; the gift is treated as evidence under the specified provisions, while lawful-permanent-residence eligibility, admissibility and visa availability still apply.
