An immigration lawyer does not seek out an employer for someone who is hoping to work in the United States. Rather, an immigration attorney helps people who have job offers or residency obtain a work permit from the U.S. government.
In most instances if you are not married to a U.S. citizen or don’t have permanent residency in order to work in the U.S. you must obtain sponsorship before you arrive. The government does not want employers to give jobs away to foreigners that can be staffed by U.S. citizens. The H1-B visa program allows companies to import employees that can do work that a U.S. citizen could not. In order for an Illinois immigration lawyer to help you obtain a H1-B visa you would need to show one of the following:
- That you have extraordinary abilities
- You are a professional talent such as an athlete
- You are the executive of an international company
- You are a distinguished researcher
- You are a significant investor that can create jobs in the U.S.
Filing the correct paper work to obtain a H1-B visa takes a special understanding of U.S. immigration laws and experienced with previous filings. The federal government limits the number of H1-B visas that are granted each year.
