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.
