Employment Visas
(EB1 Visa, EB2 Visa, EB3 Visa)
Employment-Based Visas (EB1 Visa, EB2 Visa, EB3
Visa, EB4 Visa, EB5 Visa): The Immigration and Nationality Act provides
for several employment visa classifications. Employment-based immigration
generally requires either a strong showing that the foreign worker is one
of the best in the field, or that there are no qualified U.S. workers
available to fill the position. The EB visa category is divided into
categories based on the preference given to the employee seeking to work
in the United States. Please note that the first preference does not
require labor certification from the Department of Labor.
The LL.M. Law Group understands that obtaining an
employment visa to work in the United States can sometimes be difficult.
Please read below to learn more about how the LL.M. Law Group can help you
start working, and stop worrying.
