Immigrate to New York with the Help of a New York Immigration Lawyer
New York City is recognized as one of the best cities in the world. It is no wonder that many people from around the world want to immigrate to New York and take advantage of everything the city has to offer. It is the largest city in the state of New York and is known for being immigrant-friendly. New York City is the largest city by population in the U.S. and provides significant opportunities to both citizens and immigrants alike. If you dream of immigrating to New York, here is some information about New York and the immigration process from a New York immigration attorney at Pozo Goldstein.
Immigrate to New York Through the H-1B Program
The H-1B visa program is a popular way for many skilled workers to immigrate to New York. This visa is an employer-based non-immigrant visa that allows employers to find skilled foreign nationals to fill open positions for which the employers struggle to find enough U.S. workers to achieve full employment. In New York City, there are numerous opportunities for people in the financial, health care, insurance, and real estate sectors. There are also many employers in internet technology and the creative arts. If you are offered a position for a job in a specialty occupation, you might be able to move to the U.S. and work with an H-1B visa. This visa provides you with the ability to live and work in the U.S. for your employer for three years, and you can then renew it. While it is a non-immigrant visa, people who are lawfully present in the U.S. and work for their employers for six or more years might then be eligible to secure green cards through an adjustment of status as long as their employers are willing to apply for their behalf. While the H-1B visa program is very popular and sometimes hits its cap early, it still provides the best option for foreign nationals to migrate to New York and start new lives.
If you want to learn whether you might be eligible for an H-1B visa or about other potential visa programs, you should reach out to the attorneys at Pozo Goldstein for a confidential assessment. We will ask you several questions and help you understand which type of visa program might work best for you.
