Employment-Based Immigration Rules
Visa application may vary depending on nationality and employment category. Additionally, employment-based visas typically require that an employer sponsor your petition. The visas above can depend upon receiving a labor certification.
Unlike employment-based temporary visas like H-1B or L-1, employment-based immigration allows you to enter the United States in permanent status. As a permanent resident, you may apply for citizenship within five years.
Also, if you are successful in gaining an employment-based visa, the benefits extended to you can be extended to your family. You are allowed to take spouses and children with you when entering the country. When they are admitted, they are afforded permanent resident status as well..
