Navigating employment-based immigration can be complex and highly competitive, but with our strategic legal guidance, you can confidently pursue your career and business goals in the U.S.
Our Expertise in Employment-Based Immigration
The U.S. offers various employment-based visa categories designed to attract global talent and innovation. Our firm specializes in securing immigration benefits for high-skilled professionals, executives, researchers, investors, and multinational companies.
1. Employment-Based Green Cards (EB Visas)
We provide comprehensive support for employment-based green card applications, ensuring a smooth and efficient process for professionals, employers, and entrepreneurs.
📌 EB-1 Visa (First Preference Employment-Based Green Card)
For individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, as well as outstanding professors, researchers, and multinational executives & managers.
- No labor certification required for EB-1A applicants.
- Ideal for highly accomplished individuals seeking permanent residency without employer sponsorship.
📌 EB-2 Visa (Advanced Degree Professionals & Exceptional Ability)
Designed for professionals with advanced degrees (master’s or higher) or individuals with exceptional ability in sciences, arts, or business.
- National Interest Waiver (NIW): A key advantage of EB-2 is the NIW option, allowing individuals to self-petition if their work significantly benefits the U.S. national interest.
- No employer sponsorship required for NIW applicants.
📌 EB-3 Visa (Skilled Workers & Professionals)
For professionals, skilled workers, and other workers performing unskilled labor that is not temporary or seasonal.
- Requires PERM labor certification to prove no qualified U.S. workers are available for the role.
- Ideal for companies sponsoring foreign employees in critical industries.
2. Nonimmigrant Work Visas
If you are looking to work in the U.S. temporarily, we can assist with securing highly sought-after work visas for professionals, executives, and investors.
📌 H-1B Visa (Specialty Occupations)
For professionals with at least a bachelor’s degree in a specialized field (e.g., STEM, finance, education, healthcare, and IT) who have a job offer from a U.S. employer.
- Subject to an annual cap and lottery selection process.
- Allows dual intent (H-1B holders can apply for a green card).
📌 L-1 Visa (Intra-Company Transferees)
For executives, managers, or employees with specialized knowledge being transferred to a U.S. branch, affiliate, or subsidiary of their foreign employer.
- L-1A: For managers & executives (can lead to EB-1C green card).

📌 TN Visa (For Canadian & Mexican Professionals)
For qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens working in specific professional occupations under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
- No lottery or annual cap.
- Can be renewed indefinitely with a valid job offer.
3. Labor Certification Process (PERM) for Employer-Sponsored Green Cards
Many employment-based green card applications (EB-2, EB-3) require PERM labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). This process ensures that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position.
We assist employers by:
✔ Drafting & filing PERM applications to ensure compliance.
✔ Conducting mandatory recruitment efforts to meet labor certification requirements.
✔ Preparing responses to DOL audits & inquiries to avoid delays.
