Macon Employment Visa Lawyers
Obtaining an employment visa is essential if you want to immigrate to and work within the United States. Your employer can help you secure an employment visa, which will be valid as long as you are employed. With this type of visa, you can take steps toward a new life in the US by becoming a lawful permanent resident and eventually seeking citizenship.
At Deadwyler-Heuman Law Firm, LLC, our Macon employment visa lawyers and dedicated team routinely guide clients through the complex process of securing a visa. We partner with employees and Georgia businesses, working to make it easier to navigate immigration challenges. Ours is one of the only firms in South Georgia that offers bilingual services for Spanish speakers.
Start with us by calling (478) 241-5247 or reaching out online. We offer affordable initial consultations, which we can conduct virtually or in person.
Types of Employment Visas
The five main categories of employment-based visas include the following:
- EB-1: Reserved for individuals with an “extraordinary ability” in athletics, sciences, business, and other areas.
- EB-2: Available for those with advanced professional or science degrees.
- EB-3: An option for skilled workers seeking career opportunities in the US
- EB-4: A visa for “special immigrants,” such as retired employees or religious workers
- EB-5: Available for investors who want to run a business in the US or invest a certain amount of money in a US company
Some employees may qualify for multiple visas, while others may only meet the criteria for one specific type. Do you need direction on what visa is right for you or a prospective employee? Turn to our firm for help securing the appropriate business visa.
Do You Need a Sponsor for a Work Visa?
Generally, yes, but there are exceptions to the rule. For example, you can self-petition for an EB-1A visa, which the US reserves for those with exceptional skills and acclaim in the arts, sciences, and other fields.
Additionally, you may be able to obtain a non-sponsored work visa if you intend to establish a business in the US that creates jobs for US workers. Additionally, should your work be of national interest to the US, you can get an EB-2 visa without a sponsor.
The Sponsorship Process for Work-Based Visas
Eligible sponsors of foreign workers must typically submit visa application forms and documentation and pay associated fees. Among the relevant forms, the I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) is the most important.
Sponsoring a foreign national’s visa also requires providing:
- Proof of a job offer
- Documentation confirming a worker’s abilities and qualifications
- Evidence of a lack of qualified US workers for the open position
