Many Options For Employment-Based Work Visas

A foreign national has many temporary and permanent immigration categories available to them to enter the U.S. to engage in employment or to move permanently to the U.S. At Sharma Law Offices, LLC, we understand the complexities involved in U.S. employment-based immigration processes. Led by our attorney, Asheesh Sharma, our firm offers unparalleled expertise in a wide array of employment-related immigration services. While foreign nationals outside the U.S. must obtain a work visa or an immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate, those already in the U.S. may be able to change their status to a status that allows them work or adjust their status (I-485) and obtain a lawful permanent residency (a.k.a. Green Card). Employment based, nonimmigrant categories include, amongst others, H-1B (specialty occupation), L-1 (intracompany transfer), O-1 (professionals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement), E-3 (professionals from Australia), TN (professionals from Canada or Mexico), H-1B1 (professionals from Chile and Singapore), R-1 (Religious Workers), B-1 (Domestic Workers). Employment based immigrant categories include, amongst others, EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability), EB-1C (Multinational Manager or Executive), PERM (Labor Certification). Though not specifically an Employment Based category, some foreign nationals in the U.S. are also able to obtain lawful permanent residency via U Status. Whether you're seeking a H-1B, L-1, E-2, E-3, TN, U, R-1, H-1B1 visa, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Extensive Experience You Can Trust

With years of experience in employment-based immigration, Sharma Law Offices has a proven track record of successful cases. Our nuanced understanding of U.S. immigration laws ensures that your case is in capable hands.

How an Employment-Based Green Card Can Benefit You and Your Family

If you're seeking long-term residency in the United States, an employment-based Green Card can be your pathway to a life filled with opportunities for you and your family. At Sharma Law Offices, LLC, we specialize in assisting clients through the complex legal process to attain employment-based Green Cards. Here's why this option may be the perfect solution for you.

  • Build a Secure Future in the U.S.
    With an employment-based Green Card, you're not just securing a job in the U.S.; you're also laying the foundation for a stable, prosperous future for your family. You'll gain access to the American education system, healthcare services, and social benefits, enriching your quality of life.
  • Broad Spectrum of Career Opportunities
    Having a Green Card unlocks a multitude of career opportunities. You're not limited to a specific employer or field, giving you the flexibility to shape your career path as you see fit.
  • Permanent Residency for Family Members
    One of the greatest advantages of an employment-based Green Card is that it often allows for your spouse and children under 21 to obtain permanent residency status as your dependents. This means that your family can live, study, and work in the U.S., all while enjoying the country's benefits and freedoms.
  • Pathway to U.S. Citizenship
    After maintaining Green Card status for a certain number of years, you become eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship, a step further in solidifying your family's presence in the United States.

Types of Employment-Based Green Cards: Your Guide to U.S. Residency

Navigating the complex landscape of U.S. immigration can be challenging. At Sharma Law Offices, LLC, we specialize in helping clients understand and choose the right Employment-Based Green Card suitable for their profile. Let's explore the different types to find the best match for you.

EB-1: Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professors, and Executives

The EB-1 category is designed for individuals with exceptional expertise in their respective fields such as sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. It's also applicable to multinational managers or executives who have been employed for at least one of the three preceding years by the overseas affiliate, parent, subsidiary, or branch of the U.S. employer.

EB-2: Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability

The EB-2 category is best suited for professionals holding advanced degrees or possessing exceptional skill in their field. This could include fields such as the sciences, arts, or business. National Interest Waivers (NIW) can sometimes be obtained, removing the need for employer sponsorship.

EB-3: Skilled, Unskilled, and Professional Workers

This category includes skilled workers with at least two years of training or work experience, unskilled workers, and professionals with a U.S. baccalaureate degree or foreign equivalent degree that is followed by at least five years of progressive experience in the specialty.

EB-4: Special Immigrants

This category comprises various subgroups, including religious workers, certain overseas employees of the U.S. Government, and others who meet particular sets of criteria.

EB-5: Immigrant Investors

If you're looking to invest in the U.S., the EB-5 Visa might be the ideal option for you. It requires a minimum investment of $1.8 million or $900,000 if the investment is targeted in a rural area or high-unemployment area.

While qualified applicants should have every right “to believe” that they will get a Green Card, none of us have an actual “right-to” green card. This is what I learned during my GC application journey…That being said, Asheesh & team did an amazing job of getting me my much coveted Immigration Status, merely within 6 months!!!At the outset Asheesh, made every effort to know my full background, so he could “time” my application appropriately, given that I was in out-of-country, stranded due to COVID situation awaiting H1 approval.When it was finally time for AOS filing, Liliana walked me through the entire process step-wise, and made it super-convenient to apply via the company portal. She was extremely patient with me, as I fell short of key documents. However, in the end she made sure I get to my nearly seemingly impossible destination of becoming a Permanent Resident!!!Hat's off to the Sharma Law Office staff…

My husband and I applied for my adjustment of status through Sharma Law Offices, and their services have been exceptional. The fees are very reasonable, and Sharma is one of the best immigration lawyers you can find in the area. Bethany, the legal assistant, was prompt in responding to any of our case related questions/concerns throughout the process. We were even offered a free mock interview session to help us prep for our green card interview. Thanks to Sharma's help, I was approved for my green card, and we will most definitely be going back to Sharma for any of our future immigration needs. I highly recommend this place!
