One of the most
frequently-utilized routes to immigration is through sponsorship by a US
employer (or in some cases through self-sponsorship). There are a number
of different categories that may be available. For most of these
categories, there is a three-step process: (1) the employer obtains "labor
certification" from the U.S. Department of Labor, (2) the employer obtains
approval of a visa
petition from the USCIS, and (3) the prospective employee adjusts to permanent resident status through
the USCIS (if in the U.S.) or obtains an immigrant visa at a U.S. embassy
or consulate overseas. For
other categories, the first step (labor certification) and/or the requirement of
having an employer sponsor may be avoided; generally these categories are for
more high-level positions or highly-qualified personnel.
Our
services: We will advise the employer and prospective-employee on eligibility
requirements; assist with the labor certification, petition, and green card/visa
process; prepare the applications and petitions; file
and monitor the case; and provide oversight and assistance
throughout the process. We will help prepare for the
adjustment of status interview or consular interview. In the
case of the state-side adjustment of status interview, we will
attend the interview with you, providing you counsel and
representation at this sometimes stressful event.
