Immigrant And Nonimmigrant Pathways To Employment In The U.S.
Employment-based immigration is divided into two main categories: immigrant visas (permanent) and nonimmigrant visas (temporary). Each category is designed to meet different needs but shares the common goal of bringing skilled workers to the U.S.
Our employment-based immigration lawyers handle both types, including key nonimmigrant visas such as:
- H-1B visas for specialty occupations requiring higher education or experience
- H-2A and H-2B visas for temporary workers, agricultural and nonagricultural, who meet certain criteria
- H-3 visas for trainees in certain fields
- L visas for intra-company transferees who are managers or have specialized knowledge
- O visas for individuals with extraordinary abilities in sciences, arts, education, business or athletics
- E visas for treaty traders and investors
Our lawyers also handle immigrant visas for those seeking employment-based lawful permanent residence. These visas include:
- EB-1 visas for foreign nationals with extraordinary ability as well as professors and researchers
- EB-1(C) visas for multinational executives and managers
- EB-2 professional visas for certain professionals with advanced degrees and those with exceptional abilities
- EB-4 visas for special categories of immigrant workers
- EB-5 investor visas for individuals who invest in the U.S. job market
A crucial step in some employment-based permanent residence applications is labor certification, also known as Permanent Residence through Labor Certification (PERM). This prerequisite requires proving that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the employment position that the sponsored employee will fill. We help employers navigate this step to position their petition for success.
