Our step-by-step process ensures your employment immigration case is prepared with precision, strong evidence, and clear communication throughout.
We analyze your education, work experience, achievements, and employer support to determine the strongest employment-based category (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3). You receive a clear explanation of eligibility, evidence requirements, and realistic timelines.
Your case strategy is built around your qualifications and category requirements. For EB-1A we focus on extraordinary ability evidence. For NIW we demonstrate national importance. For PERM we coordinate labor certification with your employer.
For PERM cases, we work with your employer on prevailing wage determination, recruitment, and DOL filing. For NIW and EB-1A cases without PERM, we prepare and file I-140 petitions directly with USCIS with comprehensive supporting evidence.
We file your I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS, track processing, and respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) with targeted legal argument. Premium processing is available for most categories for faster adjudication.
After I-140 approval and priority date availability, we file I-485 adjustment of status or coordinate consular processing. You receive work authorization (EAD) and advance parole while your green card is pending.

Whether you are a researcher in Manhattan, an engineer in Brooklyn, a physician in Queens, or an entrepreneur anywhere in New York, we help professionals navigate EB-1, EB-2 NIW, EB-3, PERM labor certification, and all aspects of employment-based immigration.
National Interest Waiver and Extraordinary Ability cases require strong evidence and strategic positioning. Start with a consultation to assess your qualifications.
If your employer is sponsoring you, we coordinate PERM labor certification, I-140 filing, and adjustment of status from start to finish.
EB-1 is for individuals with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors/researchers, or multinational executives. EB-2 requires an advanced degree or exceptional ability (NIW available). EB-3 is for skilled workers and professionals. During consultation, we determine your best category based on qualifications.
NIW allows you to self-petition for a green card without employer sponsorship or PERM labor certification if your work is in the national interest of the United States. We help researchers, entrepreneurs, physicians, and professionals meet the three-prong NIW test.
PERM processing typically takes 6-12 months from prevailing wage determination through DOL approval. After PERM approval, the I-140 takes 4-6 months (or 15 days with premium processing). We handle the full PERM process with your employer.
Under AC21 portability rules, you can change employers if your I-140 has been approved for at least 180 days and your I-485 has been pending for at least 180 days. We provide portability analysis and strategy for job changes during green card processing.
EB-1A is for individuals with extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. You must demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim and meet at least 3 of 10 criteria. We prepare comprehensive evidence packages for EB-1A cases.
Yes. H-1B workers commonly transition to green cards through employer sponsorship (PERM and I-140) or self-petition (NIW or EB-1A). We develop H-1B to green card transition strategies that maintain status throughout the process.
DOL audits approximately 30% of PERM applications. Audits request additional documentation about recruitment and job requirements. We prepare audit responses with your employer and defend PERM cases through the audit process.
EB-1A and EB-2 NIW do not require a job offer or labor certification. EB-1B, EB-2 with PERM, and EB-3 require employer sponsorship and a permanent job offer. We advise on the best pathway based on your situation.
