If you have having legal problems and hope to attain immigrant status in the United States, you should seek the services of an immigration law office. The lawyers in these offices have the knowledge and skills to handle cases that deal specifically with immigration regulations. People want to immigrate to other countries for a wide variety of reasons. The most common are to obtain legal permanent residency or to find work in that country. When you become a legal permanent resident, you are granted a license to stay in the U.S. on a permanent basis, free to live and work as you desire..

Getting a license means doing a lot of legal work, however, and an immigration law office is just the place to turn to for help.

To obtain a permanent residency, you should consult with attorneys that specialize in immigration law. They have training in how to handle cases that involve the laws regulating immigration. The best source of information and guidance in getting permanent residency status is the immigration law office. You can ask for advice about eligibility requirements and other rules and regulations governing the application for permanent residence. After receiving advice from the law office, you will know what route to take to get where you want to go in terms of residency.

According to the U.N. Population Division, there are now almost 200 million international migrants. About 50% of these existing immigrants are illegal OR undocumented. The worldwide immigration trend is increasing day by day. The intending immigrants also do not have good immigration plans to retain their legal status for a longer duration. They normally overstay their Visa period due to many reasons beyond their control. Then these overstayed/illegal immigrants are forced to live under inhumane circumstances for next many years of their life.

Immigration Laws and society do not help illegal immigrants.

80% of the world immigrant’s population is based on financial inspirations. They migrate in pursuit of financial freedom and happiness. Their existing recourses are not enough. They take big risk of their life to do OR die. Sometimes they loose life during their journey of Hope.

But most hardworking immigrants who plan their immigration with proper research and knowledge of immigration laws and procedures are normally able to achieve their immigration goals successfully. They define their immigration objectives in a very realistic way. Their immigration plan was similar to a good business plan. Their every immigration step is pre-planed and anticipated. They know their limitations of resources and set realistic immigration targets to be achieved.

At first glance, the U.S. green card lottery sounds like an exciting chance to make some cold, hard cash. However, this is no simple lottery that consists of scratching tickets or picking numbers. The Green Card Lottery, also known as the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, is run by the United States government. It makes approximately 55, 000 immigrant visas available to people of other countries that have low immigration rates to the United States.

An applicant who receives a Diversity Immigrant visa is allowed to permanently live and work in the United States. They may also bring their spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 along with them. When granted permanent residence through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, the cardholder can work at any job and/or start a business.

How it Works

The U.S. Government holds the U.S. Green Card Lottery each year, and randomly chooses about 110, 000 applicants from all qualifying entries. Each region’s entries are individually numbered when they reach the Kentucky Consular Center. At the end of the registration period, entries are randomly selected from each geographic region by a computer. Within each region, the first entry picked is the first case registered, the second entry is the second case registered, and so on. All entries from each geographic region have an equal chance of being randomly chosen.

The Green Card, or United States Permanent Resident Card, is an identification card for aliens attesting to their permanent resident status. A green card is proof that its holder is a lawful permanent resident and is granted immigration benefits, which include permission to live and work in the United States. Green cards are issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services which is a part of the Department of Homeland Security.

In order to obtain a green card, a three step process is necessary that can take years to complete, depending on the immigrant category and country of birth. The first step is an immigrant petition which is usually approved through a qualifying relative or employer. The three main groups of petitions are immediate relative immigrants, family-based immigrants and employer based immigrants.

The next step is determined by visa availability, according to quotas set by the Immigration and Nationality Act. (more…)

Quite appropriately, Tuesday exposes another facet of the foolishness that is U.S. immigration policy. April 1 is the day when employers are allowed to begin filing petitions with the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services for highly skilled workers to be given what are known as H-1B visas.

H-1Bs allow employers to hire foreign workers in certain professional occupations. They are good for three years and can be renewed for an additional three. Though an H-1B cannot lead to a green card - meaning the foreign professional is tied to one employer and has to leave the country after six years of productive employment - it’s still a pretty good deal.

The problem is that, even in this economic downturn, there aren’t enough visas: Congress limits the annual grant of H-1Bs, and that magic number has been set at 65,000 for five years now. Before that, and in response to the technology boom of the late ’90s, Congress temporarily raised the cap to 195,000. But that expansion expired in 2004, and the cap has been reached earlier and earlier in each year since. (more…)
