Knowledgeable Employment Immigration Lawyers
At The Law Offices of Marilyn Labrada Dume, in Englewood, New Jersey, we represent employers in employment-based immigration matters, but we are often first contacted by employees who are interested in working in the United States. If you are an employee, you must work with your employer on employment-based immigration matters. You may contact our law firm as well to discuss the best way to proceed.
H-1B Visa Petitions
Our law firm assists employers who temporarily employ specialty, professional workers on an nonimmigrant basis. We work closely with our clients to explain the H-1B visa requirements and to guide them through the filing process. For example, a “specialty occupation” usually requires specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. Current laws limit the number of workers to be provided H-1B status, so it is best to talk with an attorney as soon as possible.
Permanent Labor Certification
Permanent labor certifications issued by the department of labor allow employers to hire foreign workers to work permanently in the United States, gaining eventual permanent resident status. Applications must be filed using the new PERM process. At The Law Offices of Marilyn Labrada Dume we have experience using this process and can guide you through the steps so that permanent labor certification petitions are made efficiently and without error.
Employment-Based Adjustment of Status
Aliens already working in the United States may be allowed legal permanent resident status if they have an approved employment-based adjustment of status petition. Although you may file for adjustment of status yourself, working with an experienced attorney is the best way to ensure that the forms and supporting documents are filed quickly and correctly. At The Law Offices of Marilyn Labrada Dume, we use years of experience to help our clients successfully file for employment-based adjustment of status.
