Foreign Workers Visas
ALIEN WHO SEEK RESIDENCE THROUGH WORK:
After
a job offer is obtained in the U.S., the employer must demonstrate
the ability to pay the Department of Labor’s prevailing
wage for the job category, and place of employment, and advertisements
are made in newspapers of general circulation to prove that
there are no qualified or available workers.
Other recruitment efforts may be necessary, as
well. A preference and adjustment of status may be applied for
at the time of the adjustment application provided the applicant
is in lawful status. Approval to work normally is granted within
2 months after the filing of the adjustment application.
Work Visa Law
The employer must prove that it has the capacity to pay the
prevailing wage for the job category and that the immigrant
who seeks lawful residence through the Labor Department has
the education and qualifications for the job category.
If the applicant committed a crime or overstay in the U.S.,
it may affect the immigration process.
Each crime should be evaluated. Please call us for an evaluation.
