Helping Workers Obtain Permanent U.S. Residency
If you are looking to obtain a green card for permanent residency in the United States on the basis of your employment, you and your employer will need to comply with strict — and often confusing — immigration requirements.
At the immigration law firm of Miley & Brown in Dallas, Texas, we are experienced at guiding workers and employers through the green card application and sponsorship process. Contact us to discuss your case with an experienced immigration lawyer.
Advocating for You Throughout the Process
Maybe you are already in the United States on a temporary work visa or student visa. Maybe you are currently in another country but have been offered long-term employment in the United States. Either way, it may be possible for a U.S. employer to sponsor you for an employment-based green card.
The employment-based green card process is complex and differs greatly from case to case. There are substantial requirements for both the employer and the employee that are designed to protect U.S. workers.
In most cases, your employer will likely need to complete the foreign labor certification process, and your immigrant visa and/or green card will need to gain approval from a number of different American government agencies.
Exploring Your Full Range of Opportunities
There are several categories of workers who may have access to easier and/or faster procedures for obtaining employment green cards. These categories include outstanding professors and researchers, workers with extraordinary or exceptional abilities, guild workers, multinational managers and executives, investors and religious workers and others.
If the work that you will be doing in the U.S. supports the national interest, it may be possible to obtain a national interest waiver of certain restrictions on the green card process.
Our Dallas-based attorneys will explore all of your options for obtaining a green card on the basis of employment in order to recommend the best possible course of action. Contact us today.
