What Is Employment-Based Immigration?

Whether you are a foreign national seeking the opportunity to work in the United States or a U.S. business looking to hire talent from abroad, securing proper authorization to work and live in the U.S. is essential. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offers several employment-based visa options for individuals whose skills are needed by American companies and government agencies.


At Valeo Law in Sterling Heights, Michigan, immigration attorney Alberto Delgado reviews each situation carefully to help determine appropriate visa and work authorization options based on your goals. Employment-based immigration plays an important role in supporting U.S. businesses and innovation, and having clear guidance can help keep the process on track.

Immigration-Eligible Employment Visas

Not all employment-based visas lead to permanent residence in the United States. However, certain EB (employment-based) visas may allow eligible applicants to pursue lawful permanent resident status and, eventually, a green card.


Some professionals with advanced degrees or individuals who demonstrate exceptional ability in their field may qualify for an EB-2 visa. In many cases, the sponsoring employer must show that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position, unless the applicant qualifies for a national interest waiver.


Skilled workers and individuals with bachelor’s degrees may be eligible for EB-3 visa categories, provided the employer can demonstrate that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the role. In addition, certain managers and executives who have worked in a qualifying role for at least one year within the past three years may be eligible for an EB-1 visa if they are transferring to a U.S. company affiliated with their foreign employer.


At Valeo Law in Sterling Heights, Michigan, immigration attorney Alberto Delgado can review your background and employment goals to help determine whether you may qualify for one of these employment-based immigrant visas. Contact Valeo Law today to schedule a consultation and learn more about your options.

Non-Immigration Employment Visas

Even if you do not qualify for an employment-based immigrant visa, you may still be able to work in the United States through one of several temporary (nonimmigrant) employment visas. These visas are identified by letter classifications such as B, E, H, L, O, P, R, and TN, each designed for specific types of work or business activities.


Temporary employment visas may be available to individuals with professional knowledge, employees transferring to a U.S. branch of an affiliated company, individuals with notable achievements in the arts, sciences, education, athletics, or business, and professionals from Canada or Mexico working in qualifying occupations. Some visas also allow individuals to enter the U.S. temporarily for legitimate business purposes without engaging in U.S. employment.


At Valeo Law in Sterling Heights, Michigan, immigration attorney Alberto Delgado reviews your background, goals, and qualifications to help determine whether a temporary employment or business visa may be appropriate for your situation. If you are seeking temporary entry to the United States for work or business purposes, contact Valeo Law today to discuss your options.
