We are your immigration ally, providing the clear guidance you need.

Navigating the Path to Employment

The United States offers several pathways for foreign nationals to work legally, but choosing the right one is critical. Employment-based visas, such as the H-1B for specialty occupations and the EB-2 and EB-3 categories for permanent residency, have distinct criteria regarding education, experience, and employer sponsorship. Attempting to navigate these processes without legal counsel can lead to unnecessary delays or denials. Our team can identify the best strategy for your specific qualifications and career goals, ensuring that every petition is filed accurately and on time.

Immigration Solutions for Healthcare Professionals

The healthcare sector is in constant need of qualified professionals, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and allied health staff. However, the immigration process for healthcare workers involves unique hurdles, such as foreign credential verification and specific licensing requirements.

At Vrapi Weeks, we have extensive experience assisting healthcare professionals in Farmington. We guide you through the specific nuances of your field:

• Physicians: We assist with H-1B visas and help navigate complex pathways to permanent residency, including National Interest Waivers (NIW) under the EB-2 category for those serving in underserved areas.
• Nurses: Registered nurses often qualify for the EB-3 Green Card category. We assist with the “Schedule A” designation that can streamline this process, as well as the necessary VisaScreen healthcare worker certifications.
• Allied Health: From physical therapists to medical technologists, we determine eligibility for H-1B specialty occupation visas and guide you through the sponsorship requirements necessary to secure your work authorization.

Legal Support for Educators and Researchers

Our schools and universities thrive on diverse perspectives. We are proud to support the education sector, helping public schools, charter schools, and universities hire top global talent.

• Teachers: We assist K-12 educators in obtaining H-1B visas, guiding schools through the labor condition application (LCA) and sponsorship process to ensure they can fill critical teaching vacancies with qualified international staff.
• Professors and Researchers: For higher education professionals, we navigate H-1B petitions, often benefiting from cap-exempt status at universities, and pursue permanent residence through EB-2 (Advanced Degree) pathways. We ensure that your academic achievements are properly presented to meet U.S. immigration standards.
