Obtaining a visa to live in Philadelphia or another part of the United States is significantly easier if you are a business owner, employed or have an advanced college degree. The challenge lies in navigating the maze of employment-based immigration. Our law office is here to help you make as seamless of a transition as possible into the greater Philadelphia area through an employment-based visa.
Visas for Work
You can become a lawful permanent resident of the United States and make meaningful contributions to Philadelphia by obtaining a visa. There are several categories of employment-based immigration visas. As an example, priority workers can qualify for a visa through the EB-1 category. Our Philadelphia law firm will help you prove you have international and/or sustained national acclaim in your field to heighten your chances of obtaining a visa.
The EB-1B category is for individuals who have three or more years of experience working as a researcher or professor. Even if you only have research experience, we will help you obtain lawful entry into the United States to advance your career.
The EB-1C category is applicable to executives and multinational managers. As long as you have worked as a manager or executive for an affiliate, subsidiary, or branch of a U.S.-based business for one or more of the prior three years before moving, there is a good chance you will be approved. Our Philadelphia immigration lawyers are here to guide you through the process to expedite and simplify the challenge of obtaining a visa.
Additional Employment-based Immigration Routes
Most people are surprised to learn those with exceptional abilities in business, sciences or the arts have the potential to qualify for a visa through the EB-2 category. However, Foreign Labor Certification will be required for a visa through this category. Those who hold advanced degrees such as a master’s degree or PhD along with 5+ years of work experience can also qualify for a visa through this category. There is also a National Interest Waiver, or NIW for short, that empowers foreign nationals with an advanced degree or exceptional ability to obtain a green card without Foreign Labor Certification.
What About Individuals Without Skills and an Advanced College Degree?
Skilled, unskilled, and professional workers without a college degree who have a minimum of two years of experience or training have the potential to qualify for a visa through the EB-3 category. The EB-4 category presents the opportunity to obtain a visa as a religious worker, special immigrant juvenile, translator, or broadcaster.
These are just a few examples of how you can get a visa through employment. Meet with our legal team and we will explore all possible options to help you live the American dream.
