At Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC, we believe that building a life in the United States through a career is a meaningful goal. Employment-based permanent residency enables qualified workers to do so, living and working in the United States permanently through a green card tied to their job skills or achievements. Each fiscal year, the government sets aside roughly 140,000 of these immigrant visas for eligible workers and their families. Some visa categories require a U.S. employer to sponsor the worker, while others may allow you to file on your own behalf.
If you have the right skills, education, or work experience, you may qualify for a green card through employment. Professional legal guidance can make your journey to employment-based permanent residency smoother. Our firm helps workers and their employers pursue green cards based on their abilities and needs. With decades of combined experience in immigration law, our team offers clear answers, steady support, and dedicated advocacy at every stage.
We work with a wide range of workers and the companies that hire them. Our clients often include:
No matter your unique circumstances or goals, our firm is here to guide you.
While every case is unique, most employment-based green card cases follow a similar path. Knowing the general steps can help you plan with confidence.
First, we review your qualifications and the offered position to identify the right EB preference category. This choice shapes the requirements, timeline, and documents your case will need.
For many EB-2 and EB-3 cases, the employer must obtain a PERM labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. This step involves completing a prevailing wage determination and recruitment to confirm there are not enough qualified U.S. workers for the role. Some categories, such as certain EB-1 cases and national interest waivers, may be exempt from labor certification.
Next, the employer files Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with supporting evidence about the job, the business, and the employee’s qualifications, as well as the approved labor certification.Â
Once the I-140 is approved and a visa becomes available, you can complete the final step toward your green card. If you are in the United States, you may apply for adjustment of status; if you are abroad, you may go through consular processing.
Careful preparation and vigilant management are keys to keeping your case moving forward.
Our lawyers have significant experience guiding workers and employers through these multi-step cases. We understand how stressful the waiting and paperwork can feel, so we keep you informed and supported throughout the process.
When you work with us, you can expect:
We understand the significance of permanent residency, and we will advocate for your future with care and dedication.

I had the pleasure of working with Marta Delgado for my immigration petition. From the moment I met with Marta, I felt confident she was the attorney I was looking for after many years of waiting. I was so nervous going into this process, but Marta walked me through the details more than once, giving me so much peace about it all. The process was seamless, and their turnaround time was QUICK! My whole case was started and closed within 10 months. I will always be grateful for their expertise and kindness along the way.
What a wonderful experience I had with Elizabeth and her team. Her professionalism made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the process we went through. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
I went through my Green Card and Citizenship applications with Elizabeth Rompf and every step of the way was fantastic. Incredibly professional, prompt, clear, and very attentive to details. I cannot recommend them enough! They're my absolute top pick for any immigration recommendations!
DRB helped us with securing a work visa for one of our staff members, communicated well, and helped explain the process.
I am full of gratitude while writing this review for Delgado Rompf Bruen Law. Thank you so much Marta for handling my case so beautifully. It has been only your diligence and professionalism in the work which guided my case to success. I am very fortunate to have you as an attorney. With other attorneys I've experienced ones who only took my money and promised to help me or never called me back. You're helping a lot of people with your honesty and great quality of work. I can't thank you enough. Yay, I am an American Citizen!
Elizabeth and her legal team were extremely helpful in my husband's green card case. They had us so prepared that the interview was a piece of cake. We didn't have a single issue. They were quick to reply to any questions we had and were very honest with us about any possible issues we could have. I would highly recommend her and her team.
I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process. She was consistently professional, knowledgable, and compassionate. She even leveraged her network to get specific information about my interview site in the Bay Area which was invaluable the day of my naturalization interview. She's the BEST.
I've struggle for over 10 years to get my Permanent Resident status and have been represented by 4 immigration lawyers over that period. The last one I hired and who was able to resolve my immigration case is Elizabeth Rompf Bruen. The contrast of how she handled my case and the other 3 lawyers was obvious from the beginning. She was always available when I wanted to talk to her and provided the updates in my case as soon as she had one. I also noticed a different level of knowledge and expertise in comparison to the other 3 lawyers....
Marta was the most professional, accurate and caring lawyer I’ve encountered in the 6 years I’ve been living in the US, her work ethics are unmatched and without doubt was the best decision for my process. I recommend her to anyone that needs help, you will feel listened and she is incredible when it comes to explaining this procedures in a simple and straight forward manner. She will be my first option again when the time comes in the future.
Elizabeth has been my immigration attorney on multiple cases. She handled my 3 different cases over past 7 years including the recent immigration case that got approval last month. Whenever I need attorney help, the only person I reach out to is Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable and very professional in handling any case. Elizabeth always kept me informed about the status of my case. She is very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
