Our attorneys can help you understand the different types of immigrant visas available to you and your loved ones.
At Arenas Immigration Law, our dedicated attorneys have been providing reliable and tenacious legal services for individuals and families alike since 2013. Our locally owned and operated law firm here in Raleigh, North Carolina specializes in immigration services, and we are well-versed in the various types of immigrant visas available to people today. We know that navigating immigrant visas can feel challenging and overwhelming, so we’re here to offer clarity and support to help you make the right decision according to your unique circumstances.
The two most common immigrant visas are family-based immigrant visas and employment-based immigrant visas. Family-based visas are reserved for relatives of US citizens or green card holders (lawful permanent residents). These immigrant visas can include spouses, unmarried children, siblings, and parents. However, if you don’t have family members who are US citizens or green card holders, you may need an employment-based visa instead.
There are five different types of employment-based immigrant visas, including:
- Priority workers (people with extraordinary abilities)
- Professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability
- Skilled workers and professionals
- Special immigrants (such as religious workers)
- Immigrant investors
If you don’t neatly fit into any of these categories, our attorneys can help you examine your situation and determine the appropriate path forward for you. We have worked with people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we’re confident that we can provide you with the clear legal guidance you need to make the right choice for you.
