Immigration Visas – Milwaukee, WI
Obtaining a “green card” – indicating lawful permanent residency in the U.S.–is the primary goal of our clients who are planning to enter this country or to stay in this country if they are already here.
If that is your goal, too, please contact the Law Office of Attorney Mary L. Radzimowski to arrange a consultation and to learn how we can help you.
Having lawful permanent residency enables you to live and work in the U.S indefinitely. But because obtaining permanent residency has become more complicated since 9-11, applicants regularly need help navigating the process.
We can assist you in obtaining permanent residence through the categories (listed below) within two main types of permanent visas:
1. Employment-based immigrant visas
Immigrant investors with substantial funds invested in the U.S.
Immigrants with extraordinary ability in business, arts or sciences
Managers and Executives of multi-national businesses
Outstanding professors or researchers
Members of the professions holding advanced degrees
Immigrants with exceptional ability in the arts, science or business who will perform work in the national interest
Immigrants with job offers and a Bachelor degree or higher, or work experience
Ministers of a religious denomination whose services are required by their non-profit religious organization
PERM process: Some employment-based applications require you to go through a process called Program Review Electronic Management (PERM). This is a procedure by which the U.S. Department of Labor certifies there is a lack of qualified U.S. workers in your job category. Once the labor shortage is certified you can apply to the immigration service for your immigrant visa. We can help you navigate this procedure as well.
2. Family-based immigrant visas
You are an immediate relative of U.S. citizens, such as parent, child or spouse
You are the adult child, married or unmarried, of a U.S. citizen
You are the spouse or unmarried child of a lawful permanent resident
You are the brother of sister of a U.S. citizen
You are being adopted by a U.S. citizen
Diversity Lottery Visa
Each year, the Diversity Lottery Program makes 55,000 new immigrant visas available for individuals from underrepresented nations. Administered by the U.S. State Department, the Diversity Lottery Program requires that you have either a high school education, its equivalent, or two years work experience within the last five years in a job which demands two years training. You or your spouse must be a native of a nation eligible for the Diversity Lottery Program.
