Immigration Through Employment in New Jersey
Employment Categories for Immigration
Should an individual desire to obtain an employment based green card, one can be applied for through the USCIS. This type of card is a lawful path to permanent residency, based on certain criteria being met. Some categories require employer sponsorship; others do not. The law firm of Lloyd E. Bennett, Esq., P.C., a qualified New Jersey immigration attorney, can assist in evaluating your situation and provide the guidance necessary to obtain approval from the U.S. Department of Labor and the USCIS.
There are only certain categories of employment that the USCIS lists as eligible for employment-based immigration. They include:
- Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Unskilled Workers
- Special Immigrants (Religious Workers)
- Aliens with Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professors and Researchers, Multi-National Corporate Executives, or Managers
- Aliens who Are Members of the Professionals Holding Advanced Degrees, and Aliens of Exceptional Ability
- Investor Visa
There are U.S. Department of Labor restrictions that apply in order to qualify for the above positions eligible for immigration. In addition, there are highly complex and extensive forms and further qualifications that need to be documented in any application submitted.
