The process of filing for legal status in the U.S. is document heavy. If not done correctly, there can be delays to your application/petition or it could result in more serious issues.
It is important to understand that not everyone is eligible to remain within the United States. At Nater Law Firm, PLLC we can evaluate your circumstances and properly guide you with regards to your options and possibilities of obtaining legal status in the United States.
NATURALIZATION/CITIZENSHIP
Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). By filing a Petition and taking and passing a test administered by the Department of Homeland Security, the petitioner maybe sworn in as a U.S. citizen.
GREEN CARDS
Having a Green Card (officially known as a Permanent Resident Card) allows you to live and work permanently in the United States. The steps you must take to apply for a Green Card will vary depending on your individual situation.
WORK VISAS
Many foreign nationals want to come to the United States to work. There are several types of employment-based nonimmigrant and immigrant visa classifications and other categories of foreign nationals who are eligible for employment authorization.
A common way to work temporarily in the United States as a nonimmigrant is for a prospective employer to file a petition with USCIS on your behalf. If you have the right combination of skills, education, and/or work experience, you may be able to live and work permanently in the United States by seeking an employment-based immigrant visa.
Temporary (Nonimmigrant) Worker
A temporary nonimmigrant worker is an alien who is in the United States to work for a limited time. This type of worker is restricted to the employment or activity, and the period for which they are specifically authorized.
Permanent (Immigrant) Worker
A permanent immigrant worker is an alien whom DHS has granted permission to live permanently in the United States. Some of these aliens immigrate to the United States based on employment with an employer, while others immigrate based on other reasons (for example, extraordinary ability in certain fields, rather than a specific offer of employment). These types of workers can work in the United States permanently.
Students and Exchange Visitors
Students and exchange visitors may, under certain circumstances, be authorized to work in the United States.
Temporary Visitors For Business
A nonimmigrant visitor will need to obtain a B-1 business visitor visa (unless the person is exempt from this visa requirement) to conduct temporary business in the United States in connection with their foreign employment.
ASYLUM
People come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Membership in a particular social group
- Political opinion
If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States. However, you must apply for asylum within one year of your arrival to the United States. There is no fee to apply for asylum.
You may include your spouse and children who are in the United States on your application at the time you file or at any time until a final decision is made on your case. To include your child on your application, the child must be under 21 and unmarrie
