FAQ
Kostiv Cardinal Employment-Based Immigration FAQ
The H-1B visa is designed for foreign workers in specialty occupations that require a bachelor’s degree or higher. The employer must file a petition on your behalf, and the position must meet specific educational and skill requirements. Kostiv Cardinal can guide employers through the H-1B process, ensuring that all documentation is properly filed and that the job role meets the criteria set by U.S. immigration authorities.
The processing time for H-1B visas can vary, but it typically takes several months, especially due to annual caps on the number of visas issued. Premium processing may shorten the timeline. Kostiv Cardinal can help expedite the process by ensuring your petition is submitted on time and in compliance with all legal requirements.
Yes, H-1B visa holders can switch employers, but the new employer must file a new petition for your H-1B status. You can begin working for the new employer as soon as the petition is filed. Kostiv Cardinal can assist with the transfer process to ensure a smooth transition between employers.
An L-1 visa is for intra-company transferees, allowing multinational companies to transfer employees from foreign offices to U.S. offices. An H-1B visa is for specialty occupation workers. Kostiv Cardinal can help you determine which visa is best for your situation and guide you through the application process for either option.
The O-1 visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability in their field, such as arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics. Kostiv Cardinal can help you gather the necessary evidence of your achievements and prepare a strong application to meet the high standards of the O-1 visa category.
Employers can sponsor foreign workers for a green card through the employment-based preference categories, often requiring labor certification through PERM. Kostiv Cardinal assists employers with preparing the necessary paperwork, filing labor certifications, and submitting green card petitions to ensure compliance with U.S. immigration laws.
PERM is a process where employers must prove that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position before sponsoring a foreign worker for a green card. Kostiv Cardinal helps employers navigate the labor certification process by ensuring all required steps are followed and documentation is properly submitted.
The timeline for obtaining a green card through employment can vary depending on the visa category, country of origin, and processing times at U.S. immigration agencies. Kostiv Cardinal works diligently to manage each case and minimize delays, keeping you informed at every step.
