Open New Doors With Employment-Based Immigration
If you’ve been living in the U.S. without legal status — or you’re here on a temporary visa — you may be wondering:
Can I stay in the U.S. if I have a job offer?
Can my employer sponsor me for a green card?
Is there a legal way to work without fear of deportation?
The answer may be yes — through employment-based immigration.
This is one of the most effective, but also most misunderstood, ways to gain permanent residency in the United States. And with the right help, it could be your path to safety and success.

Many immigrants never realize they qualify for a job-based green card because no one ever explained the process to them — or they thought it was only for “high-level” jobs. But with the right strategy, your work history, skills, or job offer may be enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main types of employment-based immigration options?
Employment-based immigration is divided into five preference categories (EB-1 through EB-5). Common ones include:
EB-1: For individuals with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors, or multinational executives.
EB-2: For professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability.
EB-3: For skilled workers, professionals, and other workers.
EB-4: For religious workers and special immigrants.
EB-5: For investors who create jobs through investment.
We work with employers and individuals to determine the best category and navigate the labor certification and petition process.
What is PERM labor certification, and do I need it?
PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is a process required for most EB-2 and EB-3 green card petitions. It certifies that:
There are no qualified U.S. workers available for the job.
Hiring the foreign worker won’t negatively affect wages or working conditions.
Your employer must complete recruitment steps and submit a labor certification to the Department of Labor before filing Form I-140. We assist employers and workers throughout this rigorous process.
Can I apply for a green card while working on a temporary visa like H-1B?
Yes, H-1B workers (and holders of certain other temporary visas) can apply for permanent residency through a process known as dual intent. You can maintain your temporary visa while your employer sponsors you for a green card. Once the immigrant petition is approved and a visa is available, you can file for Adjustment of Status or consular processing.
What’s the difference between consular processing and Adjustment of Status for employment-based green cards?
Adjustment of Status (AOS): Allows eligible applicants already in the U.S. to apply for a green card without leaving the country.
Consular Processing: Used when the applicant is outside the U.S. and must complete the process through a U.S. embassy or consulate.
The best option depends on your location, visa status, and timing. We help clients navigate both processes.
Can my family join me if I immigrate through employment?
Yes, in most employment-based green card categories, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can receive derivative green cards. For temporary work visas like H-1B or L-1, dependents may receive H-4 or L-2 visas, respectively. In some cases, spouses on H-4 or L-2 visas may also qualify for work authorization.
