Special Immigrant Religious Workers

This category is for ministers, and religious professionals and workers. A foreign national in R-1 non-immigrant religious status can generally become a permanent resident in the fourth preference immigrant category, if he or she has been a minister or working as a religious professional or worker for at least two years prior to filing for residency. A job offer is required, but labor certification is not required.
