Permanent Visas

EB Classification covers the largest range of foreign nationals working in the U.S., including priority workers, professionals, skilled workers, immigrant investors, and religious workers.

Green Card is a document giving permanent residency status. This enables alien residents to stay in the United States for the rest of their lives, to live and work in the U.S.

Professionals who are top 10% of in their field may sponsor themselves for permanent residency.  Other foreign nationals require an employer to sponsor them for permanent residency, but some categories do not require a Labor Certification application.  Researchers, professors, and intracompany transferees do not require a Labor Certification to proceed with the green card process.

Texas Employment Immigration

Employers are responsible for accurately completing the visa application, labor certification application, and verifying employee documentation, including education and professional experience. There are a limited number of permanent visas allotted by the U.S. Government each year for almost every category of visa. We understand situations where employers immediately need their sponsored employees, and we try to move through immigration process quickly. In some instances we are able to do so. Most importantly in immigration law, we recommend and help employers with planning ahead. We help them plan for future employee transfers and recruitment, we help determine which visa to use, and we provide representation through each step of the application process and any matters that arise after visa approval.
