Immigrant Visas

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. Since 9/11, obtaining permanent residency has become more complicated and applicants regularly need help navigating this process.

We can assist you in obtaining permanent residence through the categories listed below :

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 that 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 a 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

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.
