Employment Based Immigration
Immigration law is complex and comprises a multitude of rules, regulations, and exceptions. The information on this page only provides general information on immigration law. It is therefore highly advisable to contact a skilled immigration attorney to guide you through the application process.

H-1A or C Visa — Granted to registered nurses for temporary employment in response to the shortage of qualified workers in the U.S.
H-1B Visa — A temporary visa that entitles the holder to work in the United States for a specific employer for a particular position. The U.S. has a great need for specialized knowledge in computer science, engineering, the medical field, and many other areas. The number of H-1B visas, however, are set at an annual limit, and filing for one can be complex. Hiring a skilled immigration attorney with comprehensive knowledge of the constantly changing regulatory environment is highly advised.
Denver Immigration Advocates can also assist you with the following types of visas:
- EB-1 Visa (priority worker visa)
- EB-2 Visa (professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability visa)
- EB-3 Visa (skilled or professional worker visa)
- EB-4 Visa (special immigrant visa)
Employment based visa applications can be extremely complex and time consuming. Immigrants who desire employment in the U.S. must submit extensive documentation, including a labor certification signed by the U.S. based employer demonstrating that there is a job awaiting them in the U.S. that cannot be filled by an American worker. Colorado based Denver Immigration Advocates has the specialized knowledge and expert ice to guide you through this process and minimize waiting time while maximizing your probability of success.

H-2A Visa — Non-immigrant visas granted to foreign agricultural or seasonal workers allowing them to work in the United States on a temporary basis when U.S. citizen workers are unavailable.
H-2B Visa — Non-immigrant visas granted to foreign seasonal (non-agricultural) workers, allowing them to work in the United States on a temporary basis when authorized U.S. workers are unavailable. H-2B visas are most commonly given out in occupations such as construction, medical fields, manufacturing, food services, and hospitality services.

The requirements for obtaining employment visas are constantly changing, and government agencies frequently modify their policies. Immigration is an extremely technical area of the law, and seemingly small mistakes on an application or missing documents or deadlines can force your to start over from the beginning of the process, setting you back months or potentially years. Despite this, the Immigration and Nationality Act provides a yearly minimum of 50,000 employment-based immigrant visas that are divided into five preference categories. Foreign nationals wanting to work in the US have several options for legal immigration, both temporary and permanent. Our attorneys understand how to navigate the requirements of employment-based immigration issues and work with both employers and employees to identify the right immigration course of action. Denver Immigration Advocates can help our client to obtain green card through employment, obtain temporary work in specialty occupations, or work on an exchange-based program.
