E Visas

Employment And Immigration

Chaudhary Law Office helps employers and employees with immigration matters. Whether you are seeking entry or already working in the United States on a temporary visa, it is important to consult with an attorney about the paperwork and other legal requirements you must fulfill to permanently live and work in the United States.

There May Be Options Regarding Your Temporary Work Visa

You may already be working in the United States on a nonimmigrant temporary work classification such as the H-1 or L-1 temporary work visas.  Chaudhary Law Office processes many different employment-based green cards, but below are some of the categories of clients we enjoy the most.  Because we enjoy these areas the most, we are experts.  If your employer decides to sponsor your green card application, the procedure requires careful paperwork. In most cases, you must obtain an alien labor certification with the United States Department of Labor, in addition to filing a visa petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Employment Green Cards

There are five categories of employment-based immigrant visas. Since an attorney's admission to practice before the U.S. immigration courts is federal, I have submitted applications on behalf of individuals living across the country. Unlike employer-sponsored applications, various categories of immigrant visas do not require a labor certification. Some of my past clients include:
  • Investors: A non-U.S. citizen starting a new business in the U.S. may be eligible for an E Investor visa.
  • Polo players: Individuals recognized for their extraordinary abilities, such as professional athletes, may qualify for an EB-1 Priority Worker visa.
  • Sheepherders: Although most H-2 visas require labor certification, special procedures apply to sheepherders seeking a work visa or permanent employment.
  • University professors: After being offered tenure, immigrant professors who are currently teaching on a visa may be eligible to petition for a green card on their own, without employer sponsorship.
  • Religious worker visas: Religious workers, such as Hindu priests, may apply for permanent work authorization.
  • Cruise ship workers: Nonimmigrant cruise workers who arrive in the United States should consult with an immigration attorney about their work and residency options.

How Much Is An H1B VISA?

Image
"How much for an H1B?" It’s been a while since my last blog post and for that I apologize. First off, happy new year! And what better way to kick off 2020 than a new H1B visa filing season! I’ve discussed a lot of H1B issues in the past, and first usually refer newcomers to my blog post providing the big picture H1B process, and what it means to employers and foreign nationals. Please do read my  H1B Primer . “HOW MUCH FOR AN H1B?” Because I’m a solo practitioner, this is often the first question I get about the entire process.  It always feels strange to me, as if the time and expertise needed for immigration application is less if one uses a solo attorney.  More important, does the employee become less valuable depending on the price of the attorney?  So when I’m posed with a question about fees right off the bat, I try to answer with another question: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is the H1B’s approval?”  For foreign nationals who’ve just

Choosing An Immigration Lawyer

Image
This is going to be an ongoing series of postings about choosing an immigration lawyer. Today I chatted with someone who needed a lawyer because his mother died but left property in India and has a dispute with his sister. It was mainly a counseling session on how to focus the issues, sift out emotions, and pick the right lawyer. To recap: One. Absolutely be aware of any impending deadlines and tell a prospective lawyer immediately. I advised this individual to send a letter overnight express to request additional time to respond to a motion so he could find another lawyer. He can even ask his previous lawyer as a courtesy to e-file it. Two. Dial back the emotional fervor. Seek grief counseling. If there is no relevant death in the circumstances, think about one’s emotions in general. This helps a potential lawyer analyze your situation and decipher facts from emotions. Three. When looking for attorneys, focus on the factual issues. Identify your specific role in the matter to a po

Can I Marry A US citizen While On Post Completion OPT?

Image
I WAS RECENTLY ASKED THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: I just got back EAD card yesterday for my Post Completion OPT and within 90 days, if I don't get a job, then I'll be deported. My boyfriend is a US citizen and we are planning to get married. I was wondering if I can still stay in the country if we get married since I'm not sure if I have to leave after 90 days if I can't find a job. How does this work? Can I still stay in the US and also can I work as well?  ANSWER: In the past there was little chance for deportation for such a simple violation. However recent memos from the administration have threatened issuance of a Notice to Appear (NTA) in a Removal proceeding for even OPT and other student visa violations.  Please note, it shouldn’t be difficult to fulfill the 90-day job requirement, because unpaid internships and even self-employment count, as long as all other requirements are also met.  To your question of a marriage green card, you would simplify you
