Permanent Residence through Employment Visas
Some foreign nationals can enter or remain in the U.S. with permanent resident (green card) status through a professional, academic, employment-based or other visa. While most workers from abroad enter under a temporary (nonimmigrant) visa, the Florida employment-based immigration attorneys of ROBERT BROWN LLC advise employers and individuals throughout the U.S. and around the world about their entry and permanent residence opportunities.
Given the diverse and numerous employment opportunities that characterize the Florida economy, ROBERT BROWN LLC has helped many employers and employees throughout the state with custom-made immigration solutions. Contact our office in Orlando to learn more about your options for employment-based immigrant visas in Florida.
In most cases, the Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) labor certification process will be necessary for employers of foreign workers who desire to enter the U.S. with permanent residence status. However, there are many other processes available that may expedite and streamline entry under an employment visa in a given situation.
With experience covering five decades on employment immigration issues, our law firm can help you decide on the best approach while handling the complex issues involved in PERM labor certification and other approaches to employment immigration. ROBERT BROWN LLC represents Florida employers from startups or closely held businesses to major corporations. In employment centers such as Tampa-St. Petersburg, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, this experience can represent an advantage for employers in entertainment, hospitality, tourism, medicine, aerospace, engineering, finance and any other business sector.
Navigating the PERM Process and Green Card Application
Because our Orlando lawyers practicing in employment and business-related areas are familiar with labor certification issues, the PERM process, national interest waivers and labor certification-exempt classifications, ROBERT BROWN LLC can advise clients about structuring job descriptions that accurately reflect the functions of the position while addressing essential certification criteria. Our attorneys advise on all issues, including prevailing wage, recruitment, advertising and posting requirements.
When labor certification is achieved through PERM, an employer can immediately begin the process of requesting an immigrant visa if the priority date is current under an EB-2 or EB-3 visa classification. We also advise businesses and individuals about permanent residence through the EB-1 visa process.
During the visa application process, our lawyers help the entering employees find a path toward maintaining lawful status. Whether using the PERM labor certification process or obtaining a green card through an alternate method, the process can take many months or years. These timing considerations often reflect statutory limits on the number of visas authorized in a given year. When this numerical limitation is reached, no more visas are available for that year. We counsel employers and their employees to make sure that they understand the permanent residence application process and maintain lawful status along the way.
