Wish to Petition for an Employment-Based Visa in Houston?
Immigration Solutions for Businesses
When handling employment-based
immigration, it is crucial to have the insight of a knowledgeable Houston immigration
lawyer. Visas for those traveling to the United States for long-term work
are far more complex than temporary visas. Whether you are an individual
hoping to apply for a visa or an organization hiring a foreign national,
a skilled attorney from Hira Law PLLC can streamline the legal process
by identifying any important factors in your situation and helping you
gather the appropriate documentation. Our firm recognizes that no two
immigration cases are exactly alike. That's why we provide legal assistance
tailored to your needs. Let us help you navigate the employment-based
immigration process.
The Employment-Based Immigration Process
Although the employment-based immigration process can vary depending on
the type of employment involved and the current immigration status of
the employee, most situations will involve the following steps:
- The employer based in the United States will complete an immigration petition
for the potential employee. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) has to accept this petition before the process can move forward.
- The employer then files a labor certification request for the employee.
- The applicant will then receive an immigrant visa number from the State
Department.
- Next, employees currently residing in the United States should petition
for a green card. Employees living outside of the U.S. will begin the
visa process once they receive their visa number.
Employment-based immigration visas are divided into five categories, and
include individuals with extraordinary abilities, those who are exceptional
researchers or business professionals, investors, skilled and unskilled
workers, special immigrants (such as religious workers) and U.S. government
employees residing abroad. A Houston immigration attorney from our firm
can help you identify the appropriate visa for your situation.
