Sorting Through Complex Laws

Count on our in-depth legal experience to help you navigate the complicated laws governing immigrant visas including first, second, and third preference petitions.

• EB1 preference classifications – Multinational executives and managers, outstanding researchers and professors, and foreign nationals of extraordinary ability.
• EB2 preference classifications – Advanced-degree professionals including labor certification / PERM and exceptional-ability foreign nationals including national interest waivers for some applicants.
• EB3 preference classifications – Skilled and professional workers including labor certification / PERM. 
• PERM / labor certification – This process is based on three phases: the labor certification (now known as PERM), the immigrant petition, and the application for adjustment of status. The labor certification procedure assures that you are not seeking to employ a foreign national when qualified U.S. workers are available to fill the position and that the employer has not offered wages or working conditions to the foreign national that adversely affect the wages or working conditions of U.S. workers.

Family-Based Permanent Residency / Immigrant Visas

Individual family members seeking to petition for permanent residency must fit in one of these categories:



• The immediate relative of a U.S. citizen (including widows and widowers who petition within two years of the U.S. citizen’s death, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens over 21)
  
• Unmarried daughters and sons of U.S. citizens
  
• Spouses and unmarried children of U.S. citizens and unmarried children of green card holders who are over 21
  
• Married children of U.S. citizens
  
• Siblings of U.S. citizens
