What Is Employment-Based Immigration?

Whether you’re a foreign national who wants to work in the United States or an American company that needs talent halfway across the world, you need to find a way to get non-citizens approved to work and live in the U.S. The USCIS has a variety of options for foreigners who have talent that American companies or government agencies need to do their work at the highest level possible. That’s why employment-based immigration is critical to the success of American industry – and the nation itself. Our immigration attorneys can review your situation and help you find the visas and work permits you need to achieve your dreams. Book your consultation with one of our experienced lawyers today.

Immigration-Eligible Employment Visas

Not all visas for work-related purposes result in qualified applicants receiving permanent residency. However, the EB- series of visas does – and if you qualify, you can eventually obtain a green card. If you’re a professional with an advanced degree or someone with exceptional ability in your field, you might qualify for an EB2 visa. Unless your employer can prove that your work is in the United States’ national interest, the company must show that there are no other U.S. workers that have the qualifications for the job. Skilled workers and individuals with baccalaureate degrees, too, are eligible for EB3-1 and EB3-2 visas, provided there are no American workers so qualified. One more category is eligible for an EB visa. Managers and executives who work in that capacity for at least a year within the last three years and want to work in a company that is affiliated with their current employer can apply for an EB1-3 visa. We can help you determine if you are eligible for one of these visas. Consult with one of our lawyers for more information.

Non-Immigration Employment Visas

Even if you’re not qualified for an immigration-eligible visa, you might be able to come to the U.S. to work if you qualify for one of the many temporary employment visas available. These visas are known by the letters that precede the official title of each visa: B, E, H, L, O, P, R, and TN. Temporary specialty workers with a high degree of specialized knowledge, temporary transfers of high-level employees to a branch in the U.S., people with extraordinary talent in the arts, sciences, education, athletics, or business, people from Canada or Mexico in certain professions who want to work in the U.S. temporarily, or people who need to visit the U.S. to conduct business without seeking employment in the United States may be eligible. Our immigration lawyers can look over your credentials to see if you’re eligible for a non-immigration visa. If you’d like to pursue temporary entry into the U.S. for business or work, let’s talk.
