Employment Immigration and Visas

If you are a foreign national with certain skills, education, and/or work experience, you may be eligible for an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa that will allow you to work and/or obtain a green card in the United States.

The Garfield Law Group represents clients seeking E visas and O visas, which are nonimmigrant visas. Nonimmigrant visas are visas issued to foreign nationals who wish to enter the United States temporarily for tourism, business, study, or work.  We can assist you in obtaining an employment-based visa in any of the following categories:

EB-1 Visas

EB-1 visas are known as first-preference visas. To qualify for an EB-1 visa, you must be (1) a noncitizen of extraordinary ability, (2) an outstanding professor or researcher, or (3) a certain multinational manager or executive. You must submit evidence to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to demonstrate that you meet the requirements for each of the EB-1 visa categories.

EB-2 Visas

EB-2 visas are known as second-preference visas. You may qualify for an EB-2 visa if (1) you are a member of the professions holding an advanced degree or its equivalent, or (2) a person who has exceptional ability. You must submit evidence to USCIS to demonstrate that you meet the requirements for each of the EB-2 visa categories.

EB-3 Visas

EB-3 visas are known as third-preference visas. You may qualify for an EB-3 visa if you are (1) a skilled worker, (2) professional, or (3) other worker. You must submit evidence to USCIS to demonstrate that you meet the requirements for each of the EB-3 visa categories.

O-1 Visas

O-1 nonimmigrant visas are for people who (1) possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or (2) have a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and have been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements. O-1 visa recipients must be coming to the United States temporarily to work in their fields. USCIS evaluates evidence to determine if applicants possess “extraordinary ability” or have “extraordinary achievement.”
