While many believe that recent world events have curtailed opportunities in the United States, we can assist you in obtaining permanent residence through employment or investment in the United States.
An ample supply of visa numbers should continue to be available for executive and managerial transferees, specialized workers, medical personnel, entertainers, advanced researchers, and scholars. Our experienced team can assist you with exploring which option is best suited for your professional experiences.
Igbanugo Partners assists individuals and businesses deal with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Labor, Department of State and Consular Posts to achieve our clients' business immigration goals. We are also highly skilled in helping employers comply with the PERM labor certification requirements. (NOTE: The law requires that the sponsoring employer pay the attorney's fees and the advertising fees for preparing, filing and obtaining the PERM labor certification.)
We help companies, organizations, and foreign national professionals secure permanent residence through every possible avenue under the U.S. Immigration & Nationality Act and its implementing regulations.
- EB-1: Foreign Nationals of Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professors and Researchers and Multinational Executives and Managers. Individuals in this category can petition for permanent residency without having to complete the time-consuming labor certification process.
- EB-2: Workers with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability in the Sciences, Arts or Business. Individuals in this category normally need a job offer and the potential employer must complete the labor certification process. The job offer and labor certification requirements can be waived if the individual can show that his or her entry to the United States is in the nation’s interest,
- EB-3: Skilled Workers and Professionals. Individuals in this category normally need a job offer and the potential employer must complete the labor certification process.
- EB-4: Special Immigrant Visas for Religious Workers. Ministers of religion are eligible for permanent residence.
- EB-5 (English)/EB-5 (Arabic)/EB-5 (Spanish): Investor/Employment Creation Visas. 10,000 visas per year are set aside for alien investors who either invest at least $500,000 in “targeted employment areas” (rural areas or those experiencing high unemployment) or those who invest $1,000,000 anywhere else.
