Employment-Based Green Card

An Employment-Based Green Card is a legal status that allows foreign nationals to live and work permanently in the United States. It is granted through a job offer from a U.S. employer who needs specialized skills that qualified candidates cannot fulfill domestically. The process typically involves the employer sponsoring the applicant, and proving that there is a need for their skills. Once approved, the individual holds the right to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely and can eventually apply for U.S. citizenship. There are several categories of employment-based green cards, based on the individual’s skills and qualifications.
