Lawful permanent residence (green card) can be issued in certain employment-based circumstances. These cases require sponsorship by a U.S. employer. In most circumstances, the U.S. Department of Labor must first approve a petition through a process known as PERM labor certification; however, in limited circumstances the intending immigrant can self-sponsor.
RUIZ VELASCO IMMIGRATION LAW helps evaluate and determine the best options for U.S. employers wishing to sponsor foreign national employees. We also provide full scope representation for individuals undertaking this process. Often times, we guide first-time employers in the process of permanently sponsoring an employee.
