Types of Immigration Services
Navigating the various types of immigration processes can be complex. Our experienced immigration lawyers in Gaithersburg can assist you with a wide range of immigration matters, ensuring that your application is accurately prepared and submitted. Below is an in-depth look at some of the primary types of immigration cases we handle:
Family-Based Immigration
Family-based Immigration Law Group Dc allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor their family members to come to the United States. This process is fundamental to keeping families together and includes several specific visa categories and procedures:
Spouse Visas (K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas):
The K-1 visa is designed for the foreign fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen. To obtain this visa, the U.S. citizen must file a petition with USCIS. Once approved, the fiancé(e) can enter the United States, and the couple must marry within 90 days. Post-marriage, the foreign spouse can apply for adjustment of status to become a permanent resident.
Adjustment of Status for Family Members
This process allows eligible individuals already in the U.S. to apply for a green card without returning to their home country for visa processing. It includes various family members such as spouses, children, parents, and siblings of U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
Marriage-Based Green Cards
These are available to spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents. The process involves filing a petition, attending a consular interview or adjustment of status interview, and providing evidence of a bona fide marriage.
Petitions for Parents, Children, and Siblings
U.S. citizens can petition for their immediate relatives, including parents and children under 21. They can also petition for their siblings, though these petitions often have longer wait times due to annual visa limits.
Employment-Based Immigration
Employment-based immigration offers pathways for foreign nationals to work in the U.S. through various visa categories, often leading to permanent residency. This type of immigration is crucial for U.S. businesses seeking specialized talent and for individuals looking to advance their careers:
H-1B Visas for Specialty Occupations
These visas are for workers in specialty occupations that require at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent. They are particularly common in fields like IT, engineering, and medicine. The H-1B visa is employer-sponsored, and the application process includes a lottery system due to high demand.
L-1 Visas for Intracompany Transfers
The L-1 visa is for employees of international companies who are being transferred to a U.S. branch, subsidiary, or affiliate. The L-1A visa is for managers and executives, while the L-1B visa is for employees with specialized knowledge.
E-2 Investor Visas
Available to nationals of countries with which the U.S. has a treaty of commerce and navigation, the E-2 visa allows individuals to enter and work in the U.S. based on a substantial investment in a bona fide enterprise.
EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 Employment-Based Green Cards
These categories are for priority workers, professionals with advanced degrees, and skilled workers. The EB-1 category includes individuals with extraordinary abilities, outstanding professors, and multinational executives. The EB-2 is for professionals holding advanced degrees or those with exceptional ability, and EB-3 is for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers.
Business Immigration
Business immigration provides avenues for investors, entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals to establish and operate businesses in the U.S., contributing to economic growth and innovation:
EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program
This program allows investors to obtain a green card by investing $1.8 million (or $900,000 in targeted employment areas) in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The investment must be at risk and must benefit the U.S. economy.
E-1 Treaty Trader Visas
The E-1 visa is for individuals or employees of companies that conduct substantial trade between the U.S. and the treaty country. The trade must be principally between the U.S. and the treaty country, covering goods, services, and technology.
E-2 Treaty Investor Visas
The E-2 visa is for investors from treaty countries who make a substantial investment in a U.S. business. The visa holder must be coming to the U.S. to develop and direct the enterprise, and the investment must be substantial enough to support the business’s operations.
L-1 Visas for Intracompany Transferees
As mentioned, these visas allow companies to transfer managers, executives, or employees with specialized knowledge to their U.S. offices. This facilitates the expansion and operation of international businesses within the U.S.
O-1 Visas for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement
The O-1 visa is for individuals who have extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. It also includes those who have demonstrated extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry.
PERM Labor Certification Process
This process is a prerequisite for many employment-based green cards. It requires employers to demonstrate that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position and that hiring a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers.
