Common Categories & Pathways

Employment-based immigration can involve different categories, eligibility requirements, and timing considerations. The right approach depends on your background, plans, and the details of a potential role or petition.

  • Employment-based immigrant petitions, including EB-1 and EB-2/EB-3 categories where relevant.
  • PERM labor certification processes where applicable.

Questions to consider

Frequently Asked Questions

These general answers are drafts for attorney review and cannot replace advice about your circumstances.

Which employment-based category might fit my circumstances?

It depends on the individual facts, proposed role, qualifications, and other factors. A category should not be selected without reviewing the circumstances and applicable requirements.

Does every employment-based case require PERM?

No. Whether labor certification is involved depends on the particular category and case. The applicable process must be assessed individually.

Can an employer and employee plan together?

An employer and prospective or current employee may have related questions. Their roles, responsibilities, and available options depend on the specific process and facts.
