Green Card through employment in the USA: how to get it?
Green Card through employment is one of the most common ways to immigrate to the United States. Foreign nationals with qualifications and experience in in-demand professions can apply for permanent residence in the United States with the help of an employer. To take advantage of this opportunity, it is important to know what steps the process involves, what types of visas are available, and how to prepare the necessary documents.
What are the categories of employment-based green cards?
The employment-based Green Card is divided into several categories, depending on the qualifications and professional level of the applicant:
- EB-1 - for persons with outstanding achievements (scientists, professors, researchers, company executives).
EB-2 - for professionals with an academic degree or exceptional abilities.
EB-3 - for skilled workers, professionals with higher education and unskilled workers.
EB-4 - for special immigrants (e.g., religious leaders).
EB-5 - for investors who create jobs in the United States.
Each category has its own requirements, so the correct determination of the appropriate visa group is the first step to successfully obtaining a Green Card through employment.
Main stages of obtaining a Green Card through employment
The procedure for obtaining a Green Card through employment consists of several key stages:
- Obtaining certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (PERM) - confirmation that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position.
Filing an I-140 petition - the employer submits a petition to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Waiting for a visa quota - depending on the country of origin and category.
Submission of Form I-485 (domestic filing) or obtaining an immigrant visa through a US consulate (if the applicant is outside the country).
Passing a medical examination, interview and obtaining a Green Card.
Documents for a Green Card through work: what do you need to prepare?
Proper preparation of documents is a critical point. The main list includes:
- Employment contract or offer from an American employer.
Diplomas, certificates, resumes and recommendations.
Documents confirming work experience.
Certification from the DOL (PERM).
Financial documents of the employer.
Proof of payment of the petition fee.
