What types of visas are available to come to the U.S.?

There are a wide variety of visas that are available, and your eligibility will depend on your unique circumstances.

Common non-immigrant visas include student visas if you plan to further your education, and travel visas if you intend to travel throughout the U.S.

There are also immigrant visas for entrepreneurs, investors, skilled professionals, individuals with extraordinary abilities, and people who work in specialty occupations. 

Do I need an immigration attorney?

You are never required to hire an attorney for an immigration case or any other legal issue in the United States. However, U.S. immigration law is complicated. Hiring an experienced immigration attorney improves the likelihood that your application will be successful.

An immigration attorney knows U.S. immigration law and can provide advice on your immigration status and how to increase the likelihood that your immigration application will be successful. An immigration attorney can also represent you in proceedings before the United States Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS). Working with an experienced immigration lawyer reduces the stress on you and increases the likelihood of a successful result. 

What are the benefits of a green card?

Having a green card means you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States. When you have a green card, you can legally work in the U.S. and can travel freely throughout the country. In addition, green card holders can:

  • Apply for citizenship after 5 years (3 years if you are married to a U.S. citizen)
  • Sponsor relatives to apply for their own green card
  • Pay less for college tuition
  • More easily travel throughout the U.S. and to other countries
  • Improve their career opportunities
  • Receive Social Security benefits after working in the U.S. for at least 10 years
  • Renew their green card every 10 years

How long will my green card remain valid?

When your green card is first issued, it is often a temporary green card that is valid for two years. If you have not been convicted of any criminal activity during those two years and have maintained your eligibility status, you can apply for a permanent resident visa which is valid for 10 years.

How much will my case cost?

Every case is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all answer to immigration questions. That is why it is important to work with an experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate your situation and increase the likelihood of a successful result.

How long will my case take?

Like the cost of your immigration, the length of time your case will take will depend on a number of factors, including who is applying and what status they seek.

My visa expired. What can I do?

If your visa has expired, you should contact an immigration attorney right away. When you contact INVENTIMM, we will review your situation and help you determine the best course of action. But time is of the essence, and we recommend that you do not delay.

Do I need a job offer up before I can apply for a work visa?

In most cases (but not all) you need a specific job offer from a sponsoring U.S. employer before you can obtain a work visa.

If you have a green card, you are allowed to work and can change jobs and travel freely throughout the U.S.

What is a labor certification?

Some immigrant visa categories require proof that there is a specialized need that cannot be filled by a U.S. worker. The employer must complete a labor certification to verify that there are no U.S. workers who are eligible for the position.
