It is now hard to get employment-based immigration in the United States due to change in immigration policies with increasing demands. As for the employment of foreign workers, the U. S. government provides approximately 140,000 permanent residency quotas every year. Given the rising levels of application and the distinguishable nature of immigration law, the applicant needs to have prior experience of dealing with a lawyer. Our Hammond Employment-Based Immigration Lawyers of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC have a wealth of experience to aid both employers and individuals in acquiring the correct visa and guaranteeing migrants’ legal right to work in the United States of America.
First Preference (EB-1)
First Preference or EB-1 pertains to those binational executives and managers, persons of extraordinary ability and outstanding professors and researchers. It is also important to note that unlike some other categories, extraordinary ability workers do not need a job offer so long as they can prove national or international recognition in their field whether that be arts, business, education or science.
Executives and Managers must be offered a job by a U. S. employer and should have worked for the foreign branch, parent company, subsidiary or affiliate.
Outstanding Professors and Researchers must also fulfill a job offer, teaching and research experience not less than three years and should be internationally recognized in his or her area of specialization.
With many years of practice, Our Hammond Employment Based Immigration Attorneys can assist clients in the process of preparing the required documents for the EB-1 visa under the most stringent requirements of the U.S Immigration authority.
Second Preference (EB-2)
The Second Preference category is for people with a master's degree or ph. D or else having influential knowledge of excellence in arts, sciences or business. Of course, the candidate has to have an approved labor certification issued by the U. S. Department of Labor if he cannot prove that the occupation is a “shortage occupation. ”
Within this category, a particularly important choice is the so-called National Interest Waiver (NIW). This waiver enables those candidates to avoid the need to undergo the labor certification and job offer procedures provided that they can demonstrate that their work will be in the national interest of the United States of America. NIW applicants mostly hold jobs in specialized fields such as healthcare, engineering or research among others since their skills are highly wanted in such positions.
Third Preference (EB-3)
Each subcategory within EB-3 has its own requirements:
The Skilled Workers must show that they have had 2 years training or work experience for that particular position and which is not a temporary or a seasonal position.
Skilled workers can be defined as personnel who hold a U. S bachelor’s degree or have similar education from an institute outside the United States and possess job offers from an employer in the U. S.
It can also prove very strenuous for an employee to be granted an EB-3 visa whereby the employer and the employee will need to produce certifications and petitions. Our Hammond Employment Based Immigration Attorneys strive to make sure that these applications are filed with the best possibility of approval.
