Your questions answered
Common Questions
What’s the difference between an employment-based visa and an employment-based Green Card?
An employment-based visa (such as H-1B or L-1) allows temporary work in the U.S. for a specific employer. An employment-based Green Card (such as EB-1, EB-2, or EB-3) grants permanent residency and the ability to live and work in the U.S. long-term. Our firm helps clients transition from temporary work visas to permanent status.
Can I apply for a Green Card while holding a temporary work visa?
Yes — many professionals on H-1B, L-1, or O-1 visas are eligible to apply for a Green Card through employment-based categories like EB-1 or EB-2 NIW. Our attorneys evaluate your eligibility and develop a customized strategy to adjust your status while maintaining legal compliance.
How long does it take to get an employment-based Green Card?
Processing times vary based on the visa category, country of origin, and whether PERM labor certification is required. For example, EB-1 and EB-2 NIW cases may move faster than EB-3. We provide up-to-date timelines and guide you through each stage of the process.
What type of visa is best for executives, researchers, or extraordinary professionals?
High-level professionals may qualify for O-1 visas (temporary) or EB-1 Green Cards (permanent) based on extraordinary ability, executive roles, or academic achievements. Our legal team specializes in building strong cases that highlight your qualifications and ensure USCIS compliance.
