Employment-Based Immigrant Visas

Employment-based immigrant visas allow foreign workers to become permanent residents (Green Card holders) in the United States through their job skills or employment offers. These visas are organized into categories based on skills, experience, and job type, such as priority workers, professionals, or skilled workers. Typically, an employer sponsors the applicant by demonstrating the need for their expertise and approval from U.S. authorities. The process involves stages like labor certification, application review, and approval. These visas help companies attract talented workers while providing immigrants a pathway to permanent residency and eventually U.S. citizenship.
