Naturalization & Citizenship for Immigrant Employees
The Employment immigration process can be broken down into three steps:
- An employer obtains a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor
- An employer petitions immigration services on behalf of their employee for an employment-based immigration procedure
- The immigrant employee applies for a green card backed by his or her employer’s petition
Obtaining a labor certification is usually only required if the employee is hoping to obtain permanent U.S. residence. If an employee only plans to stay in the country for the duration of their employment, filing for an employment-based visa or non-immigrant work visa may be more appropriate.
