How can I obtain permanent residence through employment-based immigration?
Obtaining permanent residence through employment-based immigration in California can be done in a few different ways. The most common is to obtain a Permanent Resident Card (a.k.a. a Green Card) through an employer or through a family member. To apply for a Green Card through an employer, you must have a job offer from a U.S. employer who is either sponsoring you or willing to sponsor you, or has already done so. The employer must be willing to file a petition (Form I-140) on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If approved, the USCIS will then send you an employment-based immigrant visa so that you can enter the United States. Depending on the visa category, you may then be able to apply for a Green Card. Alternatively, a family member who is a U.S. citizen can also sponsor you for a Green Card by filing a petition (Form I-130) on your behalf with the USCIS. This can also result in you being granted an employment-based immigrant visa and, ultimately, a Green Card. Obtaining permanent residence through employment-based immigration in California can be done in a few different ways. It is important to research the various requirements, application processes, and conditions of each of these pathways, as well as the other immigration-related laws in California and the rest of the United States, so that you can make the best decision for your particular situation.
