Obtaining a “green card”— indicating
lawful permanent residency in the U.S.--is the primary goal of our clients who are planning to enter this country.
Having lawful permanent residency enables you to live and work in the U.S indefinitely. But because obtaining permanent
residency has become more complicated since 9-11, applicants regularly need help navigating the process.
We can
assist you in obtaining permanent residence through the categories (listed below) within two main types of permanent visas:
1. Employment-based immigrant visas
* Immigrants with extraordinary
ability in business, arts or sciences
* Managers and Executives of multi-national businesses
* Outstanding professors or researchers
* Immigrants with advanced degrees and performing work in
the national
interest
* Immigrants with job offers and a Bachelor
degree or higher, or work
experience
* Religious workers
and ministers whose services are required by their
non-profit religious organization
* Immigrant investors with substantial funds invested in the U.S.
PERM process: Some employment-based applications require you to go through a process called Program
Electronic Review Management (PERM). This is a procedure by which the U.S. Department of Labor certifies there is a lack of
qualified U.S. workers in your job category. Once the labor shortage is certified you can apply at the CIS level for your
immigrant visa. We can help you navigate this procedure as well.
2. Family-based immigrant visas
* You are an immediate relative of U.S. citizens, such as parent, child or
spouse
*
You are the adult child, married or unmarried, of a U.S. citizen
* You are the spouse or unmarried
child of a lawful permanent resident
* You are the brother of sister of a U.S. citizen
* You are being adopted by a U.S. citizen
Diversity Lottery Visa
Each year, the Diversity
Lottery Program makes 55,000 new immigrant visas available for individuals from underrepresented nations. Administered by
the U.S. State Department, the Diversity Lottery Program requires that you have either a high school education, its equivalent,
or two years work experience within the last five years in a job which demands two years training. You or your spouse must
be a native of a nation eligible for the Diversity Lottery Program.
