SERVICES
OUR NETWORK
An attorney will file your immigrant worker petition (I-140). During this process, your USCIS fees (government filing fees) will be paid. Next, we help arrange your Consulate Interview and prepare you.
CONSULTING
We consult with you to determine the best immigration strategy to meet your needs and the needs of the sponsor employers. We provide case management from the start of your case until it is completed.
SETTLEMENT SERVICES
We will help you until the end - from finding housing to local schools for your children. These basic settlement services are included in your fee. Our priority is for you and your family to receive a green card to the United States

EB-3 PROGRAM SUMMARY
2 types of Programs
1. Skilled workers - Most need to have professional degrees. i.e. nurses, doctors, medical professionals
2. Unskilled Workers - Anyone qualifies. i.e. janitor, box packer, cafeteria worker

The EB-3 Program is designed to assist U.S. Employers that are experiencing chronic labor shortages and are unable to fill positions with qualified U.S. workers.
-
The job must be full-time and non-seasonal
-
The program allows these employers to sponsor qualified foreign workers to fill those job openings through permanent residency immigration.

The EB-3 Visa leads to U.S. Permanent Residence- also known as a Green Card.
-
Spouse and dependent children of sponsored workers also receive a green card.
