The goal of many of our clients is to obtain
their "green card"— lawful permanent residence. This enables
them to live and work in the U.S. for the rest of their lives.
B & W has assisted its clients in achieving this goal. Our
attorneys have over twenty years of combined immigration
experience.
B & W can help you
obtain permanent residence through one or more of several
categories. These are largely grouped into two main types of
permanent visas: Employment-based and Family-based immigrant
visas.
Employment-based Visas
-
Immigrants with extraordinary ability in
business, arts, or sciences;
-
Managers and Executives of international
businesses;
-
Outstanding professors or researchers;
-
Immigrants with advanced degrees whose
work is in the national interest;
-
Immigrants with job offers who have a
Bachelor degree or higher, or who have work experience;
-
Religious workers and ministers;
-
Immigrant Investors.
Some
employment-based applications require "labor certification",
which is a process by which the U.S. Department of Labor
certifies that there is a lack of qualified U.S. workers in
the position. Our attorneys successfully represent our clients
during this procedure as well.
Family-based Visas
-
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens:
spouses, parents or children under the age of 21;
-
Adult children, whether married or
unmarried, of U.S. citizens;
-
Spouses and unmarried children of lawful
permanent residents;
-
Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens;
-
Winners of the annual Diversity Visa
"Lottery".
When choosing an
attorney to represent you, choose one with experience relevant
to your case. Not all immigration attorneys have experience in
handling both family-based and employment-based visas—we do. |
