Immigrant Visas & Green Cards

EB-1A, Extraordinary Ability

I understand that each client is unique, with their own qualifications, experiences, and talents. That’s why I take a personalized approach to every case, crafting a tailored strategy to maximize the chances of success for each EB-1A application.
To qualify for an EB-1A visa, you must demonstrate extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim. You must meet at least 3 of the 10 criteria established by USCIS, or provide evidence of a one-time achievement. Additionally, you need to show evidence that you will continue working in your area of expertise. Importantly, no offer of employment or labor certification is required.
For those seeking to demonstrate extraordinary ability, I carefully analyze the criteria set by USCIS, ensuring that the client meets the necessary EB-1A requirements. Whether it’s evidence of nationally or internationally recognized awards, membership in esteemed associations, published material about the client, or significant contributions to their field, I make sure to thoroughly highlight their talents and achievements.
With extensive experience in navigating the complex landscape of EB-1A employment-based immigration, I guide my clients through the process with expertise and dedication.

EB-1B, Outstanding Professors and Researchers

To qualify for an EB-1B Green Card, you must demonstrate international recognition for your outstanding achievements in a specific academic field. You should have at least three years of experience in teaching or research within that field and be entering the United States to pursue a tenure or tenure-track teaching position or a comparable research role at a university, institution of higher education, or private employer.

To meet the EB-1B requirements, you must satisfy at least two of the six criteria established by USCIS, including: Evidence of major prizes or awards; Membership in prestigious associations; Published material about your work; Participation as a judge in your academic field; Original research contributions; Authorship of scholarly books or articles.

Additionally, you must provide an offer of employment from the prospective U.S. employer. If applying with a private employer, they must show documented accomplishments and employ at least three full-time researchers. Importantly, no labor certification is required for this process.

For those seeking to demonstrate outstanding achievements in their field, I meticulously analyze the criteria set by USCIS, ensuring that the client meets the necessary EB-1B requirements. From compiling evidence of awards and publications to documenting research contributions and professional memberships, I ensure that each client’s achievements are thoroughly highlighted.

EB-1C, Multinational Manager or Executive

I help multinational managers and executives navigate the complex process of obtaining an immigrant visa (green card) to work and live in the United States.

If you are a multinational manager or executive seeking to transition to a managerial or executive role in the U.S., I am here to assist you. To qualify for this visa category, you must have been employed outside the United States for at least one year in the three years preceding your petition or during your most recent lawful nonimmigrant admission if you are currently working for the U.S. petitioning employer.

Additionally, the U.S. petitioning employer must have been doing business for at least one year, must have a qualifying relationship with the entity you worked for abroad, and must intend to employ you in a managerial or executive capacity. Importantly, no labor certification is required.

With my expertise in immigration law, I will guide you through every step of the application process, ensuring that all requirements are met and that your petition stands the best chance of approval.

EB-2, National Interest Waiver (NIW)

I specialize in helping individuals secure the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa, designed for those with exceptional abilities or advanced degrees aiming to contribute significantly in the U.S.

To qualify, you must hold an advanced degree or demonstrate exceptional ability in your field. You need either a U.S. advanced degree or its foreign equivalent, or a baccalaureate degree plus at least five years of progressive work experience. 

Exceptional ability can be shown through evidence like an academic record, extensive work experience, professional licenses, high salary, membership in prestigious associations, or significant contributions recognized by peers or organizations.

The national interest waiver requires proving that your work has substantial merit and national importance, that you are well-positioned to advance the endeavor, and that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirements benefits the U.S.

For entrepreneurs, relevant evidence includes proof of ownership or a key role in a U.S. entity, investments, awards, or media coverage.

With my expertise in immigration law, I will guide you through the EB-2 NIW process, ensuring your petition meets all criteria and passes Dhanasar test. 

EB-3, Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled Workers

I help individuals and their U.S. employers secure the EB-3 visa, designed for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers seeking employment-based immigration to the U.S. This visa leads to a permanent green card, allowing you to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.

To qualify, you must fall into one of the following categories:

Skilled Workers: You need at least 2 years of training or experience for the job, which must meet specific educational or training requirements. You must also be performing work for which there are no qualified U.S. workers available.

Professionals: You must hold at least a U.S. baccalaureate degree or its foreign equivalent, with the degree being the standard requirement for the role. Education or experience cannot substitute for this degree.

Other Workers: This category is for unskilled labor requiring less than 2 years of training or experience, where the job is not temporary or seasonal. You must be performing work for which there are no qualified U.S. workers available.

An approved labor certification from the Department of Labor and a permanent, full-time job offer are required for all categories.

Your employer must file Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, and demonstrate the ability to pay the offered wage through evidence such as annual reports, tax returns, or financial statements.

With my expertise in immigration law, I will guide you and your employer through the EB-3 process, ensuring your petition meets all necessary criteria and leads to a permanent green card.
