Messing's Immigration Factoids ™
| |
Every year a limited number of new immigrant visas is generated, but demand generally outstrips supply. Backlogs in some categories can last for decades. The State Department's monthly Visa Bulletin is useful to estimate remaining time periods. But spouses and other immediate relatives of U.S. Citizens can get immigrant visas immediately, without a wait.

Arizona Employment Immigration Lawyer
For many
reasons American employers may seek out foreign workers, particularly where
American workers are in short supply. Immigration laws may permit such employment
under carefully defined visa categories, each with its own specific rules and regulations.
Depending on the employment visa category, approvals may be required from multiple
agencies, some at the federal and others at the state level. These typically include
the U.S. Department
of Labor, the USCIS (formerly INS), and U.S. Consulates located in foreign
countries. In Arizona, the Department of Economic Security
is involved in some alien employment matters. Each agency has its own forms and procedures,
which sometimes requires the approval of another agency.
For those who have never been involved in the process, the learning curve is steep
and mistakes can be unforgiving. The services
of an experienced labor immigration lawyer at Messing Law Offices can
help employers and employees navigate the formidable complications
of employment based immigration.
Employment based visas are of two general types.
Non-immigrant employment permits the beneficiary to work and remain in the
United States temporarily, usually for a limited period. The alien worker is expected
to return home at the end of the employment period. Changing from
the temporary visa category to permanent residency except in very limited cases
is not allowed and can be dangerous.
Immigrant employment can lead directly to
permanent residency. For more information, please consult Messing Law Office's page
of employment based immigrant visa categories.
Dual-intent visas are nominally temporary non-immigrant visas that allow a beneficiary to apply for
an immigrant visa while living and working in the United States on
the
non-immigrant visa. The most popular of these visas is the H-1B visa. To learn more
about the H-1B visa, please consult Messing
Law Office's H-1B visa page.
Employer duties and sanctions with regard to checking eligibility of new hires have
generally been expanded under recent state and federal immigrant employee laws and
regulations, and in Arizona, as several other states, mandatory
checking of credentials of new hires against Government database records is required. Messing Law Offices
can help employers develop plans and tools to avoid workplace raids and sanctions
for unauthorized employment of foreignors.
