Immigrant Visas

Obtaining lawful permanent residency in the U.S. (“Green Card”) is a primary goal for many of our clients entering this country.

If that is your goal, too, please contact Jeff Hays today to discuss your alternatives and how we can assist you in your immigration needs.

Having lawful permanent residency enables you to live and work in the U.S. on a permanent basis, but because obtaining a visa has become more complicated, applicants regularly need help navigating through this difficult process.

We can assist you in obtaining permanent residence through the categories listed below within two main types of permanent visas:

1. Employment-based immigrant visas
  • Immigrants with extraordinary ability in business, arts or sciences
  • Managers and Executives of multi-national businesses
  • Outstanding professors or researchers
  • Immigrants with advanced degrees who perform work in the national interest
  • Immigrants with job offers and at least a  Bachelor degree with work experience
  • Religious workers and ministers whose services are required by their non-profit religious organization
  • Immigrant investors with substantial funds to invest in the U.S.
PERM process: Some employment-based applications require you to go through a process called Program Review Electronic Management (PERM). This is a procedure by which the U.S. Department of Labor certifies there is a lack of qualified U.S. workers in your job category, thus making your application more likely to be approved. We can help you navigate this procedure as well.

2. Family-based immigrant visas
  • You are an immediate relative of U.S. citizens, such as parent, child or spouse
  • You are the adult child, married or unmarried, of U.S. citizens
  • You are the spouse or unmarried child of lawful permanent residents
  • You are the brother or sister of a U.S. citizen
  • You are being adopted by a U.S. citizen
3.  Diversity Lottery Visa

Each year, the Diversity Lottery Program makes 55,000 new immigrant visas available for individuals from underrepresented nations. Administered by the U.S. State Department, the Diversity Lottery Program requires that you have either a high school education or its equivalent or two years work experience within the last five years in a job which demands two years training. You or your spouse must be a native of a nation eligible for the Diversity Lottery Program.
