Immigrant Visas
Obtaining a “green card”— indicating
lawful permanent residency in the U.S.--is the primary goal of our clients who are planning to enter this country.
If that is your goal, too, please contact (attorney firm name) today to arrange a free consultation and to learn how we
can help you.
Having lawful permanent residency enables you to live and work in the U.S indefinitely. But because
obtaining permanent residency has become more complicated since 9-11, applicants regularly need help navigating the process.
We can assist you in obtaining permanent residence through the categories (listed below) within two main types
of permanent visas:
1. Employment-based immigrant visas
- Immigrants with extraordinary ability in business, arts or sciences
- Managers and Executives of multi-national businesses
- Outstanding professors or researchers
- Immigrants with advanced degrees and performing work in the national interest
- Immigrants with job offers and a Bachelor degree or higher, or
work experience
- Religious workers and ministers
whose services are required by their non-profit religious organization
- Immigrant investors with substantial funds invested in the U.S.
PERM process: Some employment-based applications require you
to go through a process called Program Review Electronic Management (PERM). This is a procedure by which the U.S. Department
of Labor certifies there is a lack of qualified U.S. workers in your job category. Once the labor shortage is certified you
can apply at the CIS level for your immigrant visa. We can help you navigate this procedure as well.
2. Family-based immigrant visas
- You
are an immediate relative of U.S. citizens, such as parent, child or spouse
- You are the adult child, married or unmarried, of a U.S. citizen
- You are the spouse or unmarried child of a lawful permanent resident
- You are the brother of sister of a U.S. citizen
- You are being adopted by a U.S. citizen
Diversity Lottery Visa
Each year, the Diversity
Lottery Program makes 55,000 new immigrant visas available for individuals from underrepresented nations. Administered by
the U.S. State Department, the Diversity Lottery Program requires that you have either a high school education, its equivalent,
or two years work experience within the last five years in a job which demands two years training. You or your spouse must
be a native of a nation eligible for the Diversity Lottery Program.
Find out more about this program, as well
as other means of obtaining legal permanent residency in the U.S., by contacting us today to arrange a free consultation.
