Immigration-Eligible Employment Visas
Not every work-related visa leads to lawful permanent residence. However, certain employment-based immigrant visas in the EB category may allow qualified individuals to pursue a green card.
For example, professionals with advanced degrees or individuals who demonstrate exceptional ability in their field may qualify for an EB-2 visa. In many cases, the employer must complete a labor certification process showing that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position, unless the role qualifies for a national interest waiver. Skilled workers and professionals with bachelor’s degrees may be eligible for EB-3 visas, also subject to labor certification requirements.
Another employment-based option may be available to multinational managers and executives who have worked in a qualifying role for at least one year within the past three years and are seeking to transfer to a related U.S. company under the EB-1 category.
Cierra Wilson helps individuals and employers evaluate eligibility for employment-based immigrant visas and understand the steps involved. A consultation can help determine which options may apply to your situation and how to move forward toward permanent residence in the United States.
Non-Immigration Employment Visas
Even if you do not qualify for an employment-based immigrant visa, you may still be able to work in the United States through one of several temporary employment visa options. These nonimmigrant visas are commonly identified by letter designations such as B, E, H, L, O, P, R, and TN, each with its own purpose and eligibility requirements.
Temporary work visas may be available to individuals in specialty occupations, employees transferring to a related U.S. office, individuals with recognized achievements in fields such as the arts, sciences, education, athletics, or business, and certain professionals from Canada or Mexico seeking temporary employment in the U.S. Some visas also allow entry for business-related activities that do not involve U.S. employment.
Cierra Wilson reviews individual backgrounds and employment goals to determine whether a temporary work or business visa may be an option. If you are considering temporary entry into the United States for work or business purposes, contact her office to discuss your situation and explore available visa options.
