Do You Know Your Employment Visa Options?
The U.S. is a prime spot for athletes, artists and entertainers. The opportunities here, in Georgia and across the country, are immense for talented individuals. However, getting here can be a challenge without a skilled immigration attorney.
At The Katz Law Group LLC, the firm’s attorneys help clients in Marietta, Atlanta and across Georgia with employment-based immigration problems. Whether you’re an employer seeking to expand your talent pool internationally or a foreign national looking to expand your career in the U.S., the firm can help you.
Understanding Your Visa Options
If you want to move to the U.S. and work, you have to secure the right type of visa. You can do this on your behalf, but in many cases, an employer will file this paperwork for their employees. The most common visas the firm works with are for:
- O-1 visas: Often called “extraordinary ability” visas. These are for individuals who develop a special level of skill in a given area. These visas apply to elite athletes, artists and investors from across the world. This allows those with singular skills the chance to move to and work in the U.S.
- P visas: These visas are for artists and entertainers, with three variations: those who are members of international performance groups – such as international ballets; those who are members of an artist exchange program; and those who are moving to the U.S. to teach or perform.
- H-1B visas: These are for specialty occupations, often in the technology sector, where local businesses need to expand their reach to find talent. These can also apply to certain skilled professionals in the entertainment industry.
Of course, the firm has global experience with the employment-based visas available and can work with you or your employer to find the right immigration strategy to move forward.
Insight. Persistence. Skill.
The fact of the matter when it comes to immigration is that it is not a simple process. Even those cases that seem – on the surface – clear-cut and without complication can get into the weeds quickly. Carelessness or lack of focus is a massive problem, but not when The Katz Law Group LLC is on your team.
The firm’s clarity and experience pay dividends for clients and help them take control of their immigration fortunes. Reach out today for a meeting to find out more. Call 770-870-5344 or send an email.
