Aventura, Florida Work Visa and Business Immigration Attorney
The Immigration and Nationality Act provides a yearly minimum of 140,000 employment based immigrant visas divided into five preference categories. When you are seeking employment in the U.S. as a non-citizen, you will need to obtain a work visa through the USCIS. At the Legal Consulting Group, LLC, Mr. Salaridze, Esq. is experienced in representing individuals seeking various types of work visas and employers sponsoring employees in the immigration process.
Work visas can involve complex application procedures. To ensure the correct and timely application for your work visa, please contact the firm.
Work visas may require:
- A labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
- Filing of a petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security (USCIS)
Dual intent and permanent residency status in the United States
Some visas are of dual intent, referring to the concept that certain visitors may be temporarily present in the U.S. while acting in a manner that later leads to lawful and permanent residence (Green Cards). A foreign citizen with dual intent may openly and actively pursues permanent residency in the United States while maintaining the intention to return to their country of origin.
If dual intent is not allowed, the determination that the non-immigrant visa holder or applicant has the intent of pursuing a green card is grounds for termination of a visa, refusal of the visa application, refusal of admission at the port of entry, refusal of readmission or removal (deportation).
Dual intent (seeking permanent residency status in the U.S) is allowed for:
- H1-B specialty workers
- O-1 visas for workers with extraordinary ability
- L-1 visas for corporate transferees
Dual intent is not allowed for business visitors and short-term visas
You may be able to obtain a short-term visa ("business visitor"). In order to obtain "business visitor" status, you must be able to demonstrate that you intend to return through residence and strong ties to your home country.
