Do I need special qualifications to be eligible for an employment-based green card?

Yes, you need special qualifications to be eligible for an employment-based green card in Virginia. To qualify for an employment-based green card, you must have a job offer from a U.S. employer and meet certain criteria. In addition to the job offer, you must have the necessary qualifications for the job you have been offered. This includes education, experience, specialized knowledge or skills, and professional or other recognized accreditations. The U.S. employer who is offering you the job must prove to the government that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position, and that hiring you will not negatively affect U.S. workers. They must also prove that the salary and benefits they plan to offer you will not be less than the prevailing wages for similar jobs in the same geographic area. In addition, you may need to prove that you have the financial resources to support yourself without relying on public assistance. Your employer may also need to file a labor certification with the Department of Labor, and may need to apply for other documents on your behalf. Once all of these requirements have been met, you and your employer can then file the necessary paperwork with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). After approval, you will be issued an employment-based green card.

Para ser elegible para una tarjeta verde basada en el empleo, generalmente se requieren algunos tipos de calificaciones especiales. En Virginia, los solicitantes de una tarjeta verde de empleo deben primero obtener un certificado de oferta de trabajo y una visa de trabajo de un empleador. El empleador debe presentar una solicitud de ajuste de estado al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS). Esta aplicación debe contener una descripción de los requisitos de trabajo para el trabajo para el cual está solicitando una tarjeta verde. Además, el solicitante a menudo debe demostrar que es cualificado para la posición por medio de certificados, diplomas, informes de evaluación, experiencia laboral u otros documentos. El USCIS también considera factores como el número de puestos de trabajo, los salarios ofrecidos por el empleador, el campo de trabajo, la edad del solicitante y el nivel educacional. Si el USCIS determina que cumple con los requisitos previstos por la ley de inmigración, generalmente otorgará una tarjeta verde al solicitante.
