A work visa has a temporary duration and limits the employment activities in which the visa holder may engage.
An Employment-based green card provides the holder with permanent residence with unlimited lawful employment opportunities. Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the work visa process and have helped numerous organizations sponsor their foreign national employees for all available work visas in the United States:

U.S. immigration law provides aliens with a variety of ways to become lawful permanent residents (get a Green Card) through employment in the United States. These employment-based (EB) “preference immigrant” categories include:
-
First preference (EB-1) – priority workers
-
Aliens with extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics;
-
Outstanding professors and researchers; or
-
Certain multinational managers and executives.
-
-
Second preference (EB-2) – aliens who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or who have exceptional ability (including requests for national interest waivers).
-
Third preference (EB-3) – skilled workers, professionals, or other workers.
