Ways An Immigration Attorney Can Help Your Business

United States law requires that each individual be a citizen, legal permanent resident, or holder of a work visa to be employed. Each company is required to certify the status of each applicant before employment. If the employer does not comply and hires an illegal immigrant without documentation, they may face severe fines.

For any company that would benefit from the addition of foreign labor and a pool of candidates available, qualified immigration lawyers can help you work through visa and residency application complications.

Below are options for establishing a legal employment situation in the United States.

For companies that want to bring foreign specialists into the United States for up to six months to a year, they will consider the B1 business visitor visa. During their stay, foreign nations can participate in most business activities such as negotiations, sales, investment, training and humanitarian protection uk.

A B2 visitor visa is a tourist visa for a similar period. Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial or social ties to their country of origin to ensure that they will not remain in the United States when their visa expires.

An H1-B Visa is a non-immigrant visa designed to attract high-level or graduate experts in high technology, engineering, architecture, mathematics, medicine, and more. These highly qualified and educated individuals provide benefits to companies that are not readily available elsewhere. Candidates typically have at least a bachelor's degree or higher, plus some proven skills. H1-B visas can be extended for at least three years, although companies often request six years. H1-B visas have a limit limitation that sometimes requires an application for another type of visa.

H-2B visas are available to fill temporary and seasonal positions for non-farm businesses. Up to 60,000 temporary foreign workers come to the United States for seasonal work in H-2B status.

Some companies require temporary workers for intermittent work that peaks for a short period and then leaves. Because some companies have stable peak periods followed by a substantial drop, short-term foreign employees may be an essential solution to a variable demand situation.

The length of stay for an H-2B is generally limited to the required need period. There is some flexibility, and H-2B workers can stay for one year up to three years. Spouses or unmarried children can receive H-4 visas to remain during that time. However, the H-4 holder will not be able to work while in the United States.

L1 visas are non-immigrant visas designed so that global companies can transfer executives or individuals with specific knowledge and skills to reach an office. Some executives enter under the L1-A management status and then apply for an EB1-C immigrant or Residence visa.
