Temporary Work Visas
In order to work legally in the United States, you must first obtain work authorization. The United States has several different nonimmigrant visa classifications for temporary workers, through which the spouse and children who qualify as dependents are also able to obtain dependant visas.
Green Cards through Employment
A permanent resident is someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, a person is granted a permanent resident card, commonly called a “green card.”
Immigration Business Plans
At Richards and Jurusik, we understand that a business plan for immigration purposes is not just a business document—it’s a legal support document that must align precisely with USCIS requirements.
