1).TEMPORARY VISAS:

Visitor's Visas

Available to visitors coming to the U.S. for business or pleasure, B-1 business visitor visas are for a short duration and must not involve local employment. Nationals of certain countries may be eligible to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa.


Treaty Trader and Investor Visas

Investors and traders and their employees may receive visas to carry on their businesses in the U.S. if their home country has a commercial treaty with the US conferring visa eligibility.

Student Visas

Persons seeking to pursue a full course of study at a school in the United States may be eligible for a visa for the course of their study plus, in some cases, a period for practical training in their field of study.

Specialty Occupation (Professionals) Visas

Professional workers with at least a bachelor's degree (or its equivalent work experience) may be eligible for a non-immigrant visa if their employers can demonstrate that they are to be paid at least the prevailing wage for the position.

Exchange Visitor Visas

Persons coming to the U.S. in an approved exchange program may be eligible for the J-1 Exchange Visitor's visa. J-1 programs often cover students, short-term scholars, business trainees, teachers, professors and research scholars, specialists, international visitors, government visitors, camp counselors and au pairs. In some cases, participation in a J-1 program will be coupled with the requirement that the beneficiary spend at least two years outside of the U.S. before being permitted to switch to a different non-immigrant visa or to permanent residency.


Fiancée Visas

A Fiancé (e) of a U.S. citizen is eligible for a non-immigrant visa conditioned on the conclusion of the marriage within 90 days.

Intra-company Transfer Visas

L-1 visas are available to executives, managers and specialized knowledge employees transferring to their employer's U.S. affiliate. Executives and managers holding L-1 visas may be eligible for permanent residency without the need for a labor certification.


Extraordinary Ability Worker Visas

The O-1 category is set aside for foreign nationals with extraordinary ability. This includes entertainers, athletes, scientists, and businesspersons.


Artists and Athletes Visas

This category covers athletes, artists and entertainers.


Religious Worker Visas

Religious workers may be eligible for an R-1 visa.


Status Under the North American Free Trade Agreement

A special category has been set up for nationals of Canada and Mexico under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement.


2) PERMANENT RESIDENCE VISAS ("Green Cards")

Family Sponsored Immigration

U.S. citizens may petition for spouses, parents, children and siblings. Permanent residents may petition for spouses and children.

Foreign Nationals of Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professors and Researchers and Multinational Executives and Managers

Individuals in this category can petition for permanent residency without having to go through the time consuming labour certification process.


Workers with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability in the Sciences, Arts or Business

Visa holders in this category normally must have a job offer and the potential employer must complete the labor certification process. The labor certification involves a testing of the job market to demonstrate that the potential visa holder is not taking a job away from a U.S. worker. In cases where an individual can show that his entry is in the national interest, the job offer and labor certification requirements can be waived.


Skilled Workers and Professionals

Visa holders in this category normally must have a job offer and the potential employer must complete the labor certification process.


Special Immigrant Visas for Religious Workers

Ministers of religion are eligible for permanent residency.

Investor/Employment Creation Visas

Congress has set aside up to 10,000 visas per year for foreign investors in new commercial enterprises who create employment for ten individuals. Simply put, fast track immigration opportunities exist for foreign nationals investing $1 million dollars (and in some cases only $5,000,000) in a newly established United States business. Benefits to foreign national to a foreign national who qualifies for a green card through investment include allowing the foreign national’s spouse and unmarried children under age 21 to also qualify for green cards as accompanying relatives. We manage all aspects of this process including corporate structure requirements and United States tax and immigration compliance.


Visas (the "Green Card Lottery")

55,000 visas are annually allotted in a random drawing to individuals from nations underrepresented in the total immigrant pool.

Refugee and Asylum Applications

Persons with a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion may be eligible to apply for asylum or refugee status in the U.S.
