Securing a work visa or green card is a critical step for both companies seeking top talent and individuals seeking to advance their careers. We can help you with several key pathways:
The H-1B visa is a popular non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.
The EB-2 category is an immigrant visa leading to permanent residency.
The EB-3 category covers a broader range of workers.
Here are answers to some of the most frequent questions we receive from our Glendale Heights clients.
The process typically begins with the employer filing a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor to ensure fair wages. Once certified, the employer files Form I-129 with USCIS. Because there is an annual cap on H-1B visas, many applicants must also go through a lottery system in March. We guide you every step of the way to ensure timely and accurate submissions.
You may qualify if you have a job offer requiring an advanced degree and you possess that degree (or a bachelor’s plus five years of progressive experience). Alternatively, you may qualify if you can demonstrate “exceptional ability” significantly above that ordinarily encountered in your field. In some cases, a National Interest Waiver (NIW) can bypass the job offer requirement if your work benefits the U.S. significantly.
Sponsorship generally involves proving that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position (a process called PERM Labor Certification), followed by filing an immigrant petition (Form I-140). This process protects the U.S. labor market while allowing you to secure the specific talent you need. Our attorneys manage these complex compliance requirements so you can focus on your business.
Immigration laws are constantly evolving, and a single error can lead to delays or denials. Whether you are an employer in Glendale Heights needing to onboard a key team member or a professional seeking stability for your family, supportive and efficient representation is essential.
