As immigration attorneys, it is a pleasure to be here to share valuable information on working legally in the United States. We know that this is a dream for many, and I am here to guide you through the 7 key points that you must understand to achieve it.
To work legally in the United States, you need to have an immigration status that allows you to do so.
The most common is the Work Visa, which varies in categories such as the H-1B for specialized workers, the L-1 for intracompany transfers, and many others.
You can also obtain a Green Card (Permanent Residence) that will allow you to work and live indefinitely in the country.
Once you have the appropriate immigration status, you must obtain the corresponding Work Permit.
For Work Visas, this permission is usually granted automatically.
However, some other statuses may require an additional process to obtain.
Most work visas require an offer of employment from an employer in the United States.
The employer must show that there are no US candidates available for the position and that your hiring will not disadvantage local workers.
Each type of visa has specific requirements. For example, in the case of the H-1B, you must have the appropriate education and experience for the position.
It is important to make sure that you meet all of these requirements before applying.
The employer will be able to verify your employment eligibility with E-verify
Once you start working, it is essential to maintain your immigration status.
This includes complying with the terms of your visa, such as not working in unauthorized activities and renewing your work permit as necessary.
If your goal is to settle permanently in the United States, consider exploring your options for obtaining a Green Card.
This can be through employment, family, investment or other programs.
Immigration can be a complicated and sometimes confusing process.
