How To Qualify For Legal Immigration

There are many factors that determine eligibility for legal immigrant status in the United States, all of which affect the legal path you take. The majority of these factors can be rolled into the following broad categories:

Your Employment Status

You are required to meet a number of criteria when seeking legal immigrant status based on a permanent employment opportunity.

  • You have to be in one of the five employment-based immigration categories recognized by federal law
  • Your employer must file an immigrant visa petition which must then be approved
  • Your employer must submit a labor certification request to the United States Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration

Family Situation

Legal immigrant status may be granted to individuals with a relative who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Your family situation must meet several requirements to be approved.

Yours must be a family relationship recognized under federal immigration law
Your relative must file a Petition for Alien Relative, and submit proof of your family relationship to petition for your legal status in the United States. The petition must be approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Bureau

Refugee or Asylum Status

In order to meet eligibility requirements for refugee or asylum status, you must have suffered past persecution or face future persecution from your country based on your race, religion, nationality, political views, or membership in a specific group. Additionally, you must be able to meet specific security and medical criteria to be granted refugee or asylum status.
