Trust our team’s expertise to navigate the U.S. immigration process effectively.

Employment-Based Immigrant Visas

 

The U.S. issues around 140,000 employment-based immigrant visas annually, divided into five categories. The process typically starts with labor certification (if required) and filing Form I-140. Categories include EB-1 for priority workers (extraordinary ability, outstanding professors, executives), EB-2 for advanced degree holders or individuals with exceptional ability, EB-3 for skilled and unskilled workers, EB-4 for special immigrants (like religious workers), and EB-5 for investors creating U.S. jobs. Spouses and children under 21 may also qualify, with possible waiting periods due to visa limits.

​

Nonimmigrant Visas for Temporary Workers and Their Families

​

The U.S. offers a range of nonimmigrant visa classifications for individuals seeking temporary employment, as well as their dependent spouses and children. These visas cover diverse categories, including treaty traders (E-1), treaty investors (E-2), specialty occupation workers (H-1B), agricultural (H-2A) and non-agricultural (H-2B) seasonal workers, intracompany transferees (L-1), individuals with extraordinary abilities (O-1), athletes and entertainers (P visas), religious workers (R-1), and participants in cultural exchange programs (Q-1). Dependent family members typically qualify for related classifications such as H-4, L-2, O-3, P-4, and R-2, allowing them to accompany the principal visa holder during their stay in the U.S. These visas are designed to support the temporary workforce needs of U.S. employers while fostering cultural and professional exchange.

Investment-Based Immigration

 

Investment-based immigration provides foreign investors a pathway to U.S. residency through significant financial contributions that create or preserve U.S. jobs. Key programs include:

 

EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa: Requires a minimum investment of $1,050,000 (or $800,000 in targeted areas) in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs. Successful applicants and their families can obtain green cards and eventually pursue citizenship.

 

E-2 Treaty Investor Visa: Available to nationals of treaty countries who invest a substantial amount in a U.S. business. While it doesn’t lead directly to permanent residency, it allows investors and their families to live and work in the U.S., with the option for extensions.

​

L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visas: The L-1 visa allows multinational companies to transfer key employees to a U.S. office. L-1A is for executives and managers, while L-1B is for specialized knowledge employees. It supports business growth, new office setups, and operational oversight. Spouses and children under 21 can join under L-2 status, with spouses eligible for work authorization.​

Family-Based Immigration

Hasan & Associates offers tailored legal support for family-based immigration, assisting with visa petitions, adjustment of status, consular processing, and waivers. We also provide strategic guidance for complex cases, including conditional green card removals, fiancé(e) visas, and immigration violations.

Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain family members for U.S. residency. Immediate relatives, such as spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens, have priority with no annual visa limits. Other family members, including siblings and married children, fall under preference categories with annual caps. The process typically involves filing a visa petition, proving a valid relationship, and completing either consular processing or an adjustment of status. Once approved, family members can live and work in the U.S. and may later pursue citizenship.

Humanitarian-Based Immigration

Hasan & Associates offers specialized counsel and representation for asylum, VAWA, U-Visas, T-Visas, and humanitarian parole applications.
We thoroughly prepare evidence, advocate for clients in immigration court, and address potential legal barriers like inadmissibility or prior violations.

Humanitarian-based immigration provides protection and relief to individuals facing persecution, violence, trafficking, or other life-threatening circumstances through programs such as Asylum for those fearing persecution, Removal Defense to assist people facing deportation, VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) for survivors of domestic abuse, U-Visas for crime victims who assist law enforcement, T-Visas for victims of human trafficking, and Humanitarian Parole for urgent humanitarian situations. These pathways safeguard vulnerable individuals by offering legal protection and opportunities to rebuild their lives in the United States.
