Immigration Allies For Workers Around The World

Securing an employment visa in the United States is immensely complex. That is why we’re dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process.

Zambrano & Ruiz, LLC, located in Marietta, proudly serves the Atlanta area with a focus on assisting Latin American artists and skilled workers in securing employment visas. Our attorneys have more than 15 collective years of experience and provide personalized legal support to immigrants around the globe. As immigration attorneys fluent in Spanish, we stand ready to advocate for you.

Empowering Skilled Workers To Come To The U.S.

Securing the right visa is crucial for skilled workers who have received a job offer in the U.S. or those who need to resolve an issue with their employment visa. Employment-based immigration typically requires sponsorship from a U.S. employer, but there are exceptions for certain fields where individuals can petition on their own behalf. Whether you’re exploring special immigrant categories or the immigrant investor program, our attorneys are adept at navigating these pathways. We efficiently guide individual workers through the complexities of the U.S. immigration system, ensuring you’re well-informed and supported every step of the way.

Partnering With Employers To Handle Their Immigration Law Needs

For companies seeking to enhance their team with international talent, we offer invaluable assistance. As Atlanta immigration attorneys, we understand that integrating skilled workers from abroad can significantly strengthen your business. We handle the legal intricacies of worker visas, allowing you to focus on what you do best. Our legal support not only helps you secure visas in a cost-efficient manner but also adds value by giving your business a competitive edge in the global marketplace.

What Are Special Immigrant Categories?

They are specific classifications that allow certain noncitizens to qualify for a green card (permanent residence) based on unique criteria. Examples include:

  • Religious workers: Members of a religious denomination (for at least two years) who are seeking to enter the U.S. for a religious vocation.
  • Certain broadcasters: Individuals coming to work as broadcasters for the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
  • Informants: Noncitizens who have supplied information concerning a criminal organization or enterprise, or a terrorist organization.

Other special immigrant categories include employees of international organizations and those who have served as translators for the U.S. Armed Forces.

What Is The Immigrant Investor Program?

Also known as the EB-5 program, this program allows foreign investors to obtain a green card by contributing to the national economy.

To qualify for the immigrant investor program, you must:

  • Invest at least $1,050,000 (or $800,000 in a targeted employment area) in a new commercial enterprise
  • Create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers

The program aims to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors.

I Have Received A Job Offer In The U.S., What Should I Do Next?

Receiving a U.S.-based job offer marks a thrilling moment in your journey, but be cautious. Start by confirming the offer is valid and learning more about the proposed terms of the job.

There are several employment-based visa options available in the U.S., depending on your situation.

  • H-1B: For specialty occupations requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher
  • L-1: For intracompany transferees in managerial or executive positions
  • O-1: For individuals with extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business or athletics
  • E-2: For treaty investors and employees
  • EB-1: For priority workers, including outstanding professors, researchers and multinational executives
  • EB-2: For professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability
  • EB-3: For skilled workers, professionals and others

Next, consider working with an experienced immigration lawyer. We can guide you and your prospective employer through the visa process, helping you avoid pitfalls and present a strong application.
