Permanent Residence Through Employment

Individuals may be eligible for lawful permanent residence in the United States (also known as a Green Card) through a job with a U.S. employer. KMA Law can advise you about the aspects and viability of the different employment-based green card categories as they would apply to your circumstances or the circumstances of your employees. Many cases that are based on an offer of permanent employment require a PERM labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor as a first step in seeking a Green Card. The purpose of the labor certification is to demonstrate that there are no U.S. workers who are willing, qualified, or available to work in the geographic location of the proffered position, and to show that no American workers would be displaced by a foreign worker. In some cases, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will waive the labor certification process and give priority to individuals who immigrate through any of several immigrant categories, including to outstanding researchers and professors, employees who possess extraordinary ability in certain professions, multinational managers and executives, individuals whose employment will serve the U.S. national interest, and certain investors and entrepreneurs. The Green Card process can be a long and multi-step process, and KMA Law will bring to every case a passion for client advocacy, expertise, and a high level of commitment.

Nonimmigrant Employment-Based Visa Processing

Our immigration laws set forth various classifications of nonimmigrant visas for persons who wish to work temporarily in the United States. Even though there are many visa classifications, several of the most frequently utilized are the Temporary Worker Categories (such as H-1B, H-2A, and H-2B), Intracompany Transferee Category (L-1A and L-1B), and Trade NAFTA Category for citizens of Canada or Mexico (TN). KMA Law will file appropriate forms and supporting evidence with the U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and U.S. Consulates and Embassies abroad as required for the relevant classification sought.

Compassionate Representation for Family-Based Clients

Separation from loved ones is an unfortunate circumstance made even more difficult by the myriad of immigration laws and policies. A highly gratifying part of KMA Law's practice entails unifying families and achieving permanent resident status for individual foreign nationals. The Firm's work in this area entails representation of fiancés and fiancées, spouses, parents, children and siblings. With your personal needs in mind, KMA Law offers advice regarding the best strategies to ensure the successful immigration of the people you care about most.

Comprehensive Representation for Citizenship Clients

Permanent residence has its benefits, but becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen may be something you would like to pursue. Notably, the U.S. Constitution limits some rights to U.S. citizens, such as the right to vote, carry a U.S. passport, become a U.S. elected official, sponsor various family members for permanent residence, and receive certain forms of government assistance and protection. KMA Law will counsel you regarding your eligibility for U.S. citizenship and requirements that you must meet prior to becoming a U.S. citizen, file your application, and prepare you for your citizenship exam and interview with a USCIS officer.
