We have also worked with clients who have suffered torture and persecution in other countries and are looking to find a safe and secure presence alongwith their families through Asylum visas in USA. We also work with clients on work visas, visitor visas and investor-friendlyvisas. Through our network of immigration attorneys, we are able to secure the right visas for the prospective clients. Visa processing for different types of visas involves distinct procedures, requirements, and eligibility criteria. Here’s a brief overview of the visa categories you mentioned:
Asylum Visa (Form I-589):
- Asylum is a protection offered to individuals who fear persecution in their home country due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
- To apply for asylum in the United States, you generally must be physically present in the U.S. and file Form I-589, Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal.
- Asylum cases can be complex and may require legal representation.
H1/H2 Visa (H-1B and H-2B Visas):
- H-1B Visa: This is for skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations, such as IT professionals, engineers, doctors, etc. The sponsoring employer must demonstrate the need for the specific skills and obtain a Labor Condition Application (LCA) from the U.S. Department of Labor.
- H-2B Visa: This is for temporary non-agricultural workers. Employers must prove that there are not enough qualified American workers available to fill the positions.
B1/B2 Visa (B-1 Business Visitor and B-2 Tourist Visitor):
- B-1 Visa: This is for individuals visiting the United States for business purposes, such as meetings, conferences, and negotiations.
- B-2 Visa: This is for tourists and individuals seeking medical treatment, visiting family, or attending social events.
EB-5 Visa (Immigrant Investor Program):
- The EB-5 program is designed for foreign investors seeking to obtain permanent U.S. residency (a green card) by investing a specific amount of capital in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs for U.S. workers.
- There are two investment options: a minimum investment in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or a higher investment in a non-TEA. The investment amounts may vary depending on the location.
Visa processing for each category involves completing specific application forms, paying fees, providing necessary documentation, and attending interviews in some cases. It’s essential to thoroughly review the specific requirements for the type of visa you are interested in and consider seeking legal assistance if needed. Keep in mind that immigration policies and procedures may change over time, so it’s crucial to check the latest information and requirements on the official website of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or consult with an immigration attorney for the most up-to-date guidance.
