Employment Based Immigrant Visa Guidance

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issues up to 140,000 immigrant visas and many more temporary worker visas to foreign nationals on the basis of job skills or employment. While some may simply wish to come to the U.S. to pursue a job opportunity or business venture, others may intend to settle here and make it their new home.

Our employment visa attorneys help you understand your immigration goals and the appropriate visa for you. Selection of the right visa for your needs can provide you peace of mind, and also, some degree of flexibility in pursuing your career goals.

Apply for US Visa

In order to be granted an employment visa, your U.S. employment must petition of your behalf. This involves completing Form I-129 or Form I-140 for non-immigrant workers. For alien entrepreneurs, the employer must complete Form I-526. In some cases for first and fourth preference immigrants, the individuals may be able to file these forms for themselves.

In event of an issue such as denial, we provide aggressive removal defense to make sure that you are not deported from the U.S. To obtain a visa and start a new job in the U.S., all you need is proper qualifications and necessary evidence to prove your eligibility.
