Immigration Law FAQs

Q
What can employers ask about immigration status?
A

Employers should not directly ask if you are a citizen, but they can and likely will ask if you are legally authorized to work in the United States.

Q
What are the requirements for employment based immigration?
A

Receiving your employment based green card has several different requirements depending on the path taken to apply for the green card. In some cases, it will need to be shown that a US citizen is not qualified for the position and in others an employee’s work history is the focus of the application. Some individuals may qualify for a green card based on an investment into a US business. No case is the case.

Q
How long does employment based immigration take?
A

Employment based immigration can be a long process but varies from case to case. It is difficult to determine a specific amount of time because every situation is different.

Q
How hard is it to get an employment based green card?
A

It is difficult to say how hard it is to get an employment based green card because this process varies from person to person and involves many factors. However, proper legal counsel will facilitate this process for you and ensure that receiving your green card runs smoothly and as quickly as possible.
