Microphone
Though many video cameras have microphones built in, you’ll get better quality audio with a lavalier or headset microphone, because the mic itself can be much closer to the source of the audio.
Our ears and brain can filter out ambient noise so we can listen to what’s important, but microphones cannot, and a mic placed several feet away from the subject will pick up a lot of extra noise (heating/air conditioning systems, automotive traffic, people walking in a hallway, etc.) that will be noticeable and probably distracting in the final recording.
If possible, record a minute or several minutes of the subject speaking normally as they will during the interview and listen to the recording to see how much extra noise is audible; the less, the better.
Tip: get the mic as close to the subject as you reasonably can without it being visually distracting.

Video Camera
Ensure you have a good-quality video camera. Generally, a higher-cost camera probably will be better quality, because a large part of the cost goes towards the lens and sensors. As far as resolution goes, there is no real reason not to record in HD at least in 720p (720 pixels tall) or maybe even 1080p (1,080 pixels tall).
Tip: the p stands for progressive, which means that each horizontal row of the picture is recorded and played in succession (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), as opposed to i, or interlaced, where every other horizontal row is recorded and played in an alternating pattern (1, 3, 2, 4, etc.).
You’ll also want to take care of all the creative details, including ensuring that there is enough light to get a good image. Too little light results in a dark or grainy video.
Tip: Ensure the camera is in focus before starting the recording.

U.S. immigration law provides foreign nationals with a variety of visas to become lawful permanent residents (get a Green Card) through employment in the United States. These employment-based (EB) “preference immigrant” categories include:
Employment-Based Immigration: EB-1 Priority Workers
This preference is reserved for persons of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics; outstanding researchers or university professors; and executives or managers of multinational corporations. This category is less costly and takes less time to complete than other classifications. Although this is the fastest way to get an employment-based green card, it is extremely document-heavy and the USCIS reviews this petition with a high level of scrutiny.
Employment-Based Immigration: EB-2 Advanced Workers
There are three types of EB-2 green cards:
− Professionals who hold advanced degrees
− Foreign nationals with exceptional knowledge in the sciences, arts or business
− Professionals whose work benefits the national interest of the U.S.
Applicants (with the exception of applicants applying for an exemption known as National Interest Waiver) must generally have an approved labor certification, a job offer, and their employer must have filed an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) with the USCIS.
This category has several stages that need to be successfully completed prior to green card sponsorship. This proves to be a lengthier and more rigorous process than the EB-1 green card.
Employment-Based Immigration: EB-3 Skilled/Other Workers
This preference is reserved for professionals with a bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent); skilled workers, including foreign nationals with at least two years of training or work experience who may or may not hold a degree; and other or unskilled workers filling a job that requires less than two years of training or experience. This category is the most common with a higher number of foreign nationals that qualify under this preference category and has a lengthy average approval waiting period of six to nine years.
