Find Employment and Get Worker Authorization
For certain foreign workers, obtaining an employment-based immigrant visa begins with the PERM Labor Certification – Program Electronic Review Management (PERM). The business owner is accountable for applying.
The petitioning employer must engage in several recruitment activities to demonstrate that a US citizen or permanent resident has not been found for a specific position.
Two employment-based preference categories (EB-2 and EB-3) need PERM. We strongly advise you to consult with one of our seasoned immigration lawyers for help with the PERM process, as it is intricate and time-consuming.

H-1B Visas
The H-1B visa gives foreign professionals an opportunity to work in the United States and allows employers to hire qualified immigrants on a temporary basis for specialty occupations (e.g. engineers, researchers, medical professionals, professors, attorneys, accountants, etc.), which require a bachelor’s degree or advanced level of education certification. Every fiscal year, there is a cap of 65,000 visas, but if a prospective immigrant worker has a master’s degree or higher, then they are exempt from this cap if it is filed among the first 20,000 petitions.
E-2 Visas
The E-2 investor visa enables foreign entrepreneurs to build their own business in the United States. In order to qualify for this employment-based visa, you have interested or actively invest a substantial amount of capital in a bona fide enterprise in the United States, and be interested in entering the U.S. to only build and direct the investment enterprise.
