Employment-Based Petitions
If one has the right combination of skills, education, and/or work experience, one may be able to remain living in the United States permanently. In certain circumstances, permanent worker applicants must have their employer obtain an approved labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor to qualify. Attaining this labor certification verifies the following: Whether there are already sufficient, available, qualified and willing U.S. workers to fill the position being offered at the prevailing wage, and whether hiring a foreign worker will have an adverse effect on similar employed U.S. workers’ wages and working conditions.
Victims of Human Trafficking (T)
The T visa allows certain victims of human trafficking to receive temporary legal status to remain living in the United States. Under the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, the T visa allows law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute human trafficking, while offering protection to the victims. Some of the requirements for attaining a T visa are:
- That one must be the victim of trafficking, as defined by law;
- Reside in The United States, America Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or is at a port of entry due to trafficking;
- Comply with certain requests from law enforcement to assist in the investigation and prosecution of the human trafficking involved;
- Demonstrate that one would suffer extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm if removed from the United States;
- and is admissible or can attain a waiver of inadmissibility.

A lawful permanent resident of the United States may be able to file for their husband or wife or unmarried son or daughter.
