These visas provide opportunities for foreign workers to contribute to the local economy and for companies to fill skill gaps in their workforce. Employment-based visas often require extensive documentation. Depending on the type of Visa, this documentation may include proof of education, work experience, information about the business, and sponsorship from the employer.
Family-Based Immigration & Visas
Family-based immigration allows for close relatives of US Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents to rejoin their families in the United States. If you are an US Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder), then your family members may be eligible to receive certain immigration benefits.

These visas require extensive documentation, including proof of the relationship, proof of meeting 'in-person' within two (2) years, and more. Your future spouse will be eligible to file for adjustment of status after getting married.
Naturalization & US Citizenship
