Immigrant Visas

One of the most important principles in U.S. immigration law is family unification. There are various categories under which family members can be reunited with their relatives who are American citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Employment-based preferences are built on a system in which a total number of visas are given to a specific group of aliens each year. Most employment-based aliens must obtain Labor Certification—a complex procedure in which the Department of Labor verifies that no American worker is available and qualified to take the job.

Investment-based visas in the United States, such as the EB-5 and E-2, allow foreign individuals to secure visas by making significant financial investments in U.S. enterprises. These visas are designed to stimulate the U.S. economy by attracting capital and fostering business growth, creating opportunities for both investors and the nation.
