Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140)

The Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, or Form I-140, is a request submitted to the U.S. government by an employer to sponsor a foreign worker for a permanent job in the United States. This form helps establish that the worker meets specific qualifications and that there is a genuine job offer. If approved, it allows the worker to apply for a green card, which grants them legal permanent residency. The I-140 is an essential step in the employment-based immigration process, facilitating skilled individuals to contribute to the U.S. economy.
