“Very Straight and Caring Anna is very caring and straight with you. Don't be fooled by people who want an attorney tell them everything is ok when it is not. Go to them if you want straight answers and will help to get done what you need to get done.”


“Excellent!! Anna was highly recommended to me by a former client of hers and a close friend of mine...I was so happy when I got my O-1 approval! Anna is very, very nice and reliable and her assistants are the same!”


“EXCEPTIONAL LAWYERS. This is the best immigration law firm I have come across in a long time. These lawyers are passionate about what they do. They truly care. I say this because I have met a lot of lawyers that do not even return phone calls from clients. I truly recommend the Asherson, Klein and Darbinian office because they took my very difficult case, put in a lot of time and attention and successfully completed my case.”


“FANTASTIC AVVOCATO. The best avvocato in America. Grazie Mille per la sua assistenza. Your fantastic team assistenza risolvere il mio problema. Ms. Darbinian, You are the Best: Bellisimo. You make the Impossibile, Possibile. After staying illegal for so many years, I am again able to travel. I am in Italy with my family because you help me achieve the American Dream. I will see you in two weeks when I travel back to America with my new visa. I will never forget what you did for me. GRAZIE MILLE.”


"... I would also like to thank your staff who have what it takes to get things done. But I would really like to say thank you to Nadia, as well, as she has been superb to me and really spent time with me."

Overview

Many people want to acquire permanent residency status in the U.S. because permanent residents enjoy a variety of rights and privileges. One of the most widely-used methods to obtain permanent residency in U.S. is the Employment-Based immigration category. You are eligible to apply for permanent residency under this category if:

  • You have an opportunity to work permanently in the U.S.

  • You have an employer in the U.S. who wants to sponsor you for lawful permanent residency (LPR) in the U.S.

The general procedure to apply for an Employment-Based Visa is:

  1. Your employer in the U.S. must first determine if you are eligible for lawful permanent residency (LPR) according to the norms set by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

  2. In most cases, your employer must submit a completed labor certification request (Form ETA-750) for you, to the Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and Training Administration. The DOL will either grant or deny the certification request.

Note : Qualified alien physicians who will practice medicine in an area certified as 'underserved' by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services do not need a Labor Certification.

  1. Once the Labor Certification is granted, your employer will submit an immigrant visa petition (Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker) at a USCIS service center on your behalf. USCIS must approve the petition. The employer acts as the sponsor (or petitioner) for you (the beneficiary).

  2. Once the petition is approved, the Department of State (DOS) gives you an Immigrant Visa Number (even if you are already in the U.S.), indicating that an immigrant visa will be assigned to you soon. You can check on the status of your visa number in the Visa Bulletin published by the DOS.

  3. After you get your visa number:

    • If you are already residing in the U.S., you must apply for a change to Permanent Resident status.

    • If are outside the U.S., you will be notified and must complete the process at your local U.S. Consulate office.

There are five categories for employment-based immigration. Please click on the category that best suits you on the menu to the side for more details regarding eligibility and procedures.
