Form I-140

Form I-140, officially known as the Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, is a document used by employers in the United States to petition for foreign workers to become permanent residents. This form demonstrates that the employer needs a foreign worker for a specific job and that the worker meets the qualifications required for that position. Approval of Form I-140 is a key step in the employment-based immigration process, allowing successful applicants to apply for a green card, which grants them permanent residency in the U.S.
