The Importance of Employment Visas
Fueling Your Business Growth:
Talent is the most precious resource for today’s knowledge-based economy, and a significant share of the US skilled workforce in technology fields is foreign-born. In today's globalized world, attracting top-tier talent is critical for businesses to remain competitive. Some of the top-tier talent is from highly skilled workers and professionals who are foreign-born and need sponsorship to work in the United States. Employment visas play a pivotal role in the success of businesses by enabling companies to bring in skilled workers, executives, and professionals from around the world.
Nurturing Global Talent:
Employment visas are not just tools to recruit candidates who happen to be from another country; the U.S. immigration laws and implementing regulations are also important vehicles used to foster innovation, cultural exchange, and the growth of U.S. businesses. They provide an opportunity for both nonimmigrants and permanent residents to contribute their unique skills and perspectives to your organization.

Serving Employers and Employees | Immigrants & Non-immigrants, Businesses, Foreign Nationals
People coming to the U.S. tend to fall into one of two categories recognized by U.S. immigration law based on intent: immigrants or nonimmigrants. Immigrants (including green card holders) are people who intend to live and work here indefinitely or permanently. Nonimmigrants are generally those who maintain a permanent residence in another country, whose presence in the U.S. will be temporary, and who intend to return home to their foreign residence at the end of their temporary stay.

Permanent Residence through Employment Visas With or Without Sponsorship
- EB-1 Visas:
- EB-1A Persons of Extraordinary Ability: For individuals with extraordinary abilities in their field. It's suitable for those who have achieved remarkable recognition for their exceptional expertise.
- EB-1B Outstanding Professors and Researchers: For outstanding professors and researchers who are recognized for their significant contributions in their respective fields. It's a path to permanent residence for those who have made substantial academic or scientific contributions.
- EB-1C Multinational Managers & Executives: For multinational managers and executives who have been employed in a managerial or executive role by a qualifying international company. It allows them to transfer to a U.S. office through permanent residence. For immediate transfers, clients look to the L-1 intracompany transferee classification.
- EB-2 National Interest Waiver Petitions: For individuals with exceptional abilities or advanced degrees seeking a green card. It's designed for those whose work is considered in the national interest of the United States and may allow an individual to self-sponsor or self-petition.
- EB-4 Visas: For individuals in roles like religious workers, broadcasters, and others with unique qualifications
- EB-5 Visas: For facilitating job creation and investment through the Immigrant Investor Program.
The previous classifications do not usually require a test of the labor market (usually referred to as Labor Certifications or PERM), which is when the U.S. government asks an employer to demonstrate there are no U.S. workers available for the sponsored position. Although these protections are in place, the U.S. immigration system allows employers to sponsor foreign nationals through the Labor Certification process in these classifications:
- EB-2 Green Card Through Employment: Employers commonly use this classification where the sponsored position usually requires a Master’s degree or higher in the field of expertise, so that the company may hire the foreign national permanently.
- EB-3 Green Card Through Employment: For skilled workers, professionals (e.g., Bachelor's degrees), and other workers. It's a pathway to permanent residence for individuals with various levels of expertise and qualifications in their occupations.
LPPC will work closely with you to ensure that each case matches your needs and eligibility characteristics and is processed efficiently and effectively. We also work to avoid the inaccuracies and omissions that might delay or jeopardize your entry.
We pride ourselves on bringing sound legal strategies and expert guidance whether your case requires the use of the PERM labor certification process or it can be filed directly with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS).
