Employment-Based Immigration Services We Offer

Employment-based immigration encompasses a wide range of visa categories designed to meet the needs of U.S. businesses and highly skilled workers from around the world. The requirements, processing timelines, and eligibility criteria vary greatly depending on the visa type. At Ibrahim Law Global, we help clients determine the right fit, prepare strong applications, and avoid costly mistakes that can derail progress.

We routinely assist with the following:

  • H-1B Visa (Specialty Occupations)
    The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign professionals in specialty occupations such as IT, engineering, finance, and healthcare. These positions generally require at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. We help employers with everything from the Labor Condition Application (LCA) to the full petition, while also advising workers on the visa process, extensions, and potential transitions to permanent residency.
  • EB-2 & EB-3 Employment-Based Green Cards
    Professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities (EB-2) and skilled or unskilled workers (EB-3) may be eligible for employment-based green cards. These immigrant visas offer a path to permanent residency but require thorough documentation and labor certification (PERM) in most cases. We work with both employers and employees to streamline the process, prepare required filings, and manage timelines effectively.
  • L-1 Visa (Intra-Company Transfers)
    The L-1 visa is ideal for multinational companies that need to transfer executives, managers, or employees with specialized knowledge to a U.S. office. Whether you’re a large corporation or a growing business, we guide you through L-1A and L-1B classifications and help you present the strongest case possible to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
  • Business Visas (Immigrant & Non-Immigrant)
    We help entrepreneurs, investors, and business professionals secure the appropriate visa based on their goals—whether short-term or permanent.

    • Non-immigrant options include B-1 visas for temporary business visits, which can be used for attending meetings, signing contracts, or exploring investment opportunities.
    • Immigrant options (like the EB-5 investor visa) provide a route to permanent residency through significant investment and job creation in the U.S. economy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between an H-1B and a Green Card?

The H-1B is a temporary work visa. A green card (via EB-2 or EB-3) provides permanent residency. Many H-1B holders eventually apply for employment-based green cards.

What is the PERM process?

PERM is the Department of Labor’s labor certification process. It’s required for most EB-2 and EB-3 green cards and ensures no qualified U.S. workers are available for the job.

Can a small business sponsor an H-1B or green card?

Yes—but it must meet specific legal and financial requirements. We help small businesses prepare strong, compliant sponsorship cases.

What is an L-1 visa and who qualifies?

An L-1 is for employees of international companies being transferred to a U.S. office. Eligibility depends on your role, duration of employment, and company structure.

How long does the employment-based visa process take?

Timelines vary widely. H-1B visas follow an annual cap cycle. Green cards can take months or years depending on your category and country of origin.

Can I change employers on a work visa?

It depends on the visa type. H-1B visa holders can switch employers with proper filings. L-1 visas are company-specific and do not allow transfers.

Do I need a job offer to get a green card?

Usually, yes. However, EB-2 National Interest Waivers or EB-1 cases may not require a job offer. We can help assess your eligibility.

Can I apply for a business visa if I want to open a company in the U.S.?

Possibly. There are visa categories for entrepreneurs and investors, like the E-2 and EB-5. Each has specific investment and business requirements.
