Additionally, access to quality higher education and a more stable political-economic environment also weigh heavily in the decision of many.

In an interview with CNN Brasil, Leda Oliveira, CEO of AG Immigration, highlights that professionals with high academic qualifications generally have an easier time in the immigration process, potentially even waiving the need for an American sponsor.

Visas such as the EB-2 NIW and the EB-1A are highly sought after by Brazilians because they allow for permanent residency without the requirement of a prior job offer.

According to her, “today, there are more job openings in American companies than unemployed people in the country.”

This shortage of skilled labor, particularly in areas like health, technology, and transportation, opens doors for Brazilian immigrants with the necessary skills.

For some professions, such as medicine, engineering, law, and dentistry, diploma validation in the U.S. is required.

The process varies according to the profession and the regulatory body, but generally involves diploma evaluation, additional courses, examinations, and English proficiency tests.

It is important to note that not all areas require validation. Entrepreneurs, technology professionals, and drivers, for example, do not need to go through this process.

In 2023, Brazil was the 10th country that received the most American Green Cards, with 28,050 citizens awarded.

This number represents a 16% increase compared to 2022, and the main professions that require diploma validation are: engineering, nursing, physiotherapy, medicine, law, and dentistry.
