In
order to qualify for a green card through employment:
-
You must have
a job offer from a U.S. employer;
-
Have the
correct background in terms of education and work experience for the job
that you have been offered, and
-
There must be
no qualified American willing or able to take the job.
Steps
to Obtaining a Green Card:
Step One:
Labor Certification
Labor
Certification is filed by your U.S. employer. The object of Labor
Certification is to satisfy the U.S. government that there are no qualified
American workers available and willing to take the specific job that has
been offered to you.
Step Two:
The Petition
The
petition is also filed by your U.S. employer. The object of the petition is
to prove that you do in fact, qualify.
Step Three:
The Green Card Application
The
green card application is filed by you. This application is your formal
request for a green card.
Step Four:
Paperwork
There
are two types of paperwork you must submit to get a green card through
employment. The first consists of official government forms completed by you
or your U.S. employer. The second consists of personal and business documents
such as birth and marriage certificates, school transcripts and diplomas,
and company financial statements and tax return.
