FAQs About Employment-Based Immigration

What types of visas are available for employment-based immigration?

Common employment-based visas include H-1B (specialty occupations), L-1 (intra-company transfers), TN (Mexican and Canadian professionals), E-2 (investors), and O-1 (extraordinary ability).

What is the process for employers to sponsor an employee for a visa?

Employers must file a petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and, in some cases, obtain a labor certification from the Department of Labor before hiring a foreign worker.

What is a National Interest Waiver (NIW), and who qualifies for it?

An NIW allows certain professionals to bypass the labor certification process if their work is in the national interest of the United States. This is often used by researchers, scientists, and other highly skilled professionals.

Can my family come to the U.S. with me on an employment-based visa?

Yes, most employment-based visas allow eligible dependents (spouse and children under 21) to accompany you. For example, H-1B visa holders can bring dependents under the H-4 visa.

How long does the employment-based green card process take?

Processing times vary based on the visa category, country of origin, and demand. It can take several months to several years to obtain a green card.

What is PERM labor certification, and when is it required?

PERM is a process employers must follow to prove that there are no qualified U.S. workers available before hiring a foreign worker for a green card.

Can employment-based visa holders change jobs?

In most cases, your visa is tied to your sponsoring employer. However, some visa categories allow for portability or require specific steps to change employers.

What happens if my visa application is denied?

If your application is denied, you may have the option to appeal, file a motion to reopen, or reapply with additional evidence.

Do I need an attorney to apply for an employment-based visa or green card?

While not required, immigration laws can be complex, and working with an attorney can improve your chances of approval by ensuring accurate and timely submissions.
