New Jersey Green Cards Attorney
Green cards and other employment-based immigration needs are important to employers and job-seekers. And when you need answers about the highly complicated state of American immigration and green card law, you want to turn to someone with experience you can trust.
My name is Edwin Rubin, and I have more than 50 years of experience in immigration law. I’ve weathered the frequent changes in the immigration process and know how to proceed through any immigration filing.
What You Need To Know About Employment-Based Green Cards
There are several types of employment-based immigration options available that can help you achieve your goals. One of the most effective options is adjusting status for existing employees with an existing visa. Most work visas (E visas, H visas and L visas) are eligible for a change in status, but the O-1 visa is not. It is still possible to pursue permanent residency for someone with an O visa, but the method is a little different.
The right green card option exists for your situation, but what that is and how to pursue it can be hard to figure out. But that assurance and direction is exactly what I bring to my clients.
Frequently Asked Questions About Green Cards
One of the first things I do for clients with green card concerns is answer their questions. While most questions are going to be specific to your individual circumstances, a lot of them are much more general, including these below.
What are some of the requirements for filling out these employment-based green cards?
Before you can adjust someone’s status – the technical term for moving from a nonimmigrant work visa to a permanent resident visa – you must first verify their eligibility for adjustment. Eligibility can include several factors such as:
- You are a current visa holder.
- You are present in the U.S. at the time of the filing.
- You do not meet any bars to adjustment.
- You are not implicated in any grounds of inadmissibility.
After that, you’ll follow the standard process of filing a Form I-485, which will include statements about your intent to work, and copies of your ID and birth certificate, as well as many other important forms.
Are there any common issues that come up with the process?
Problems can come up in any green card application and can include health-related grounds, an inability to support yourself or criminal convictions. However, one of the most frustrating problems you can run into is misstatements in your applications, which may be completely unintentional and still set you back considerably.
How can an experienced immigration law attorney help?
I help clients by taking the mystery and uncertainty out of the process. I look over every aspect of your documentation and application, and make sure it meets standards. And if an appeal is necessary, I take on that piece as well. I help you make your green card journey a lot easier by offering the experience and insight that you need.
