An employer cannot hire you until you can prove you are allowed to work. That proof has to exist before the job does, which reverses the order most people expect, and it is where a work permit attorney is genuinely useful.
Working in the United States opens opportunities that are not available in many other countries, but every worker must demonstrate employment eligibility first. At The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates, we can help you obtain the right type of eligibility for your situation.
What Immigrants Need to Work in the United States
Immigrants have three primary ways to receive approval for American employment eligibility:
- Green Cards: A green card will establish you as a permanent resident with the right to work for any American employer.
- Work Visas: With an employment related visa such as the H-1B visa, you get permission to work for the specific employer who has sponsored your visa application. These visas are provided to workers with skills that are in demand among US companies.
- Work Permits: A work permit or Employment Authorization can be secured by submitting Form I-765. You can seek a work permit if you are authorized to work in the United States because of your immigration status or you are required to seek approval to work by requesting employment authorization.
