Indiana Employment-Based Immigration
In today's global market place, where information and skill sets are key, having the best employees is critical. Yet, your most qualified prospective employee may have been born in a foreign country. It is important for an employer to retain an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in the different immigration options.
Contact me today to find out how I can help you secure the prospective employee before your competition does.
Hiring Foreign Nationals as Employees
- Several non-immigrant visas are available to allow a foreign national to work in the United States.
- The H1-B visa is available for foreign nationals seeking work as a professional. This employment-based non-immigration visa is available to those with a college education seeking temporary work in their career field. While it is temporary, it can be renewed and extended for several years.
- The numbers of H-1B visas, however, are limited by quota. Thus, it is extremely important to plan and prepare your visa application.
- I have worked with numerous clients to help them obtain the proper visa to live and work in the U.S.
Obtaining Permanent Residence for an Employee
- To sponsor an employee or prospective employee for permanent residence, the employer must first obtain a certification from the U.S. Department of Labor that employment of the foreign national will not affect the U.S. job market. It is important to work with an attorney who understands this process because the employer’s later visa petition and the employee’s still later Application for Adjustment of Status depend on the accuracy of the labor certification.
- My work with the Korean community in Indianapolis, in addition to my business consulting work, has uniquely prepared me to understand the complexities of garnering a workforce from outside of the United States.
