Types of Employment-Based Immigration

Job and business opportunities come in all shapes and sizes. Immigration law here in the United States breaks most of those opportunities down into these categories:

Transfers

A company with branch offices in multiple countries may want to transfer an employee to a location here in the United States. We use an L-1 visa for this process, with different applications for those who work as managers, executives, or have what could be considered specialized knowledge of their market. Let us know what your job is. We’ll tell you what version of the L-1 application should be used.

Internships and Training

If you're currently attending college or have recently graduated and are interested in acquiring work experience in the United States, a J-1 visa application could be your pathway. Whether it’s a short summer stint, or a long-term residency program in a field like medicine, internships and training are valid reasons for employment-based immigration.

Religious Workers

Missionary activity is foundational to many religions around the world, and United States immigration law respects that fact. The R visa can help religious missionary workers stay in the U.S. for up to five years.

Specialty Workers

Applicants possessing specialized knowledge in specific fields, such as engineering, science, medicine, architecture, law, and more, may consider applying for an H-1B visa. This visa is tailored for professionals with distinct expertise in their respective domains. The unique advantage of the H-1B visa is its provision for dual intent. This means that while initially entering the United States as a non-immigrant employee, the holder retains the flexibility to eventually pursue permanent residency status and get a green card.

Extraordinary Ability

The O-1 and O-2 applications are also for people with unique abilities and skill sets. In this case, an example would be those who may want to come to the United States to play sports, either collegiately or professionally. Or, perhaps someone with great talent in the arts—anything from film to music—has gotten an opportunity in the United States.

Investor Visas

The visas discussed so far are for those seeking some type of employment. What about the investor, whose capital could make increased job opportunities possible? The United States government wants investors from abroad, and sometimes it is easier for an investor to commit if they are residing in this country. Depending on the amount of money involved, we use either an E-1 or E-2 application.
