Employment-Based Immigration

The U.S. immigration system prioritizes certain skills, talents, and professions. Employment-based immigration allows companies to fill skill gaps, thereby benefiting the U.S. economy, while also offering foreign nationals the opportunity to build a new life. At The Towne Law Firm, P.C., our employment based immigration attorney in Albany, NY, is your committed partner in navigating the intricacies of employment-based immigration – ensuring that all paperwork is meticulously prepared, guiding both employers and employees.

Categories of Employment-Based Immigration

Whether you are the employer looking to make your temporary worker permanent or the worker wishing to settle in the United States on a permanent basis, we will evaluate the options available to you based upon the individual circumstances of your case and guide you throughout the entire process. We represent employers in Labor Certifications and immigrant petitions for alien workers, based on any of the following categories:

  • Aliens of Extraordinary Ability: Individuals with extraordinary ability in their field, demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim, may qualify for an employment-based immigrant visa under the EB-1 category.
  • Outstanding Professors and Researchers: Tenured or tenure-track professors and researchers with exceptional academic records and international recognition can also seek permanent residency through the EB-1 category.
  • Multinational Executives and Managers: Executives and managers who have been employed by a multinational corporation for at least one year.
  • Advanced Degree Professionals: Individuals with advanced degrees often fall under the EB-2 category, either through PERM-based certification or National Interest Waivers, which may exempt them from the labor certification process.
  • Skilled and Unskilled Workers: Both skilled and unskilled workers may be eligible for employment-based visas under the EB-3 category, although requirements differ between the two.

For those seeking to bypass employer sponsorship, self-petitions may be an option. We represent workers seeking to file self-petitions through national interest waivers and as aliens of extraordinary ability.
