How Can You Qualify to Live and Work in the United States?

Two primary categories of employment-based visas are issued by the United States: immigrant visas and non-immigrant visas.

A non-immigrant visa allows a foreign worker to temporarily live and work in the United States for a limited period of time. These visas are typically issued for specific employment opportunities and must be renewed or extended if the worker wishes to remain in the country.

An immigrant work visa gives the visa holder the legal right to live in the U.S. for an indefinite period, the right to work while living here, and the right to be accompanied or joined by his or her spouse and children.

Certain immigrant work visas require you to already have an employment offer from a U.S.-based employer. In these cases, the employer is your sponsor and must receive a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor before a work visa will be issued.

A skilled permanent work visa attorney can help determine eligibility, coordinate with sponsoring employers, and ensure that every step of the application process complies with U.S. immigration law.

How is a Labor Certification Obtained?

The labor certification process is managed by the U.S. Department of Labor and is designed to protect the domestic workforce. Employers must demonstrate that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact job opportunities or wages for U.S. citizens.

To obtain labor certification, the employer must first advertise the position and list it with a state employment agency for at least thirty days. The employer must also place additional recruitment advertisements to search for qualified U.S. workers.

If no qualified and available U.S. citizens apply for the position, the employer may then confirm to the Department of Labor that the position could not be filled locally.

Once the labor certification is approved, the employer can move forward with submitting the appropriate immigration petition for the employee. Depending on the visa category, this may include:

• Form I-140 for EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 employment-based visas

An experienced permanent work visa lawyer that Miami applicants rely on can help ensure employers and applicants complete the labor certification process correctly.

What Work Visas Are Available?

Over 100,000 visas are available each year for immigrants who want to live and work in the U.S. Those with advanced degrees or extraordinary abilities may qualify to become lawful permanent residents – green card holders – and later, to seek citizenship through the naturalization process.

A variety of temporary work visas are also available. To qualify for a permanent work visa in the USA, applicants must meet the requirements of one of the following employment-based visa categories. A knowledgeable work visa lawyer can help determine which category best fits your qualifications.

• EB-1 visas are available to individuals with extraordinary ability in fields such as science, arts, athletics, education, or business. This category also includes multinational executives, managers, professors, and researchers. Labor certification is not required for EB-1 visas.
• EB-2 visas are offered to foreign workers with exceptional abilities in the arts, science, or business, and to professionals with advanced degrees in these fields. Labor certifications are required for EB-2 visas unless the applicant can acquire a national interest waiver.
• EB-3 work visas are issued to professional, skilled, and general workers. Labor certifications are required for EB-3 visas.
• EB-4 work visas are issued to special individuals, such as foreign minors who are the legal wards of U.S. courts, religious workers, and U.S. foreign service post employees. Labor certifications are not required for EB-4 visas.
• EB-5 investor visas are issued to international investors who are seeking to make an investment in the U.S. in a new business enterprise that creates full-time jobs for ten or more U.S. citizens.

A national interest waiver allows foreign nationals who are already contributing (or have a plan to contribute) to the U.S. national interest or to U.S. national security to receive an EB-2 visa and to remain in the U.S. without a labor certification or an employer’s sponsorship.

What About Family Members?

Family members of individuals granted permanent work visas may also qualify for immigration benefits.

Depending on the visa category, spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 may be eligible for family-based immigration, immigrant visas, or employment authorization in the United States.

Each family member must complete the necessary forms, gather supporting documentation, and pay the required filing fees. Because immigration requirements can vary by visa type, working with an experienced work visa attorney can help families avoid delays and ensure their applications are properly submitted.
