EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRATION (GREEN CARDS)

EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRATION GREEN CARDS

Business Immigration for permanent residency is often considered the most complex area in Immigration Law. Not only are there a variety of options available to the foreign applicant but there are different criteria for each type of Business Immigrant Visa (Green Card) case. Some categories require a sponsoring Employer to file a PERM Labor Certification application while there are other categories that will allow you to self-sponsor.
