Quitman, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Thoroughly understanding immigration options certainly can be complex. Generally, OPT is a nonimmigrant status by which a student can obtain temporary practical training; an H1B visa is another type of employer-specific nonimmigrant visa that authorizes certain professionals to remain in and work in the U.S. An Adjustment of Status application - the process by which an applicant seeks to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (get a "Green Card") - enables an applicant to live in the U.S. permanently, to work with any employer, in some to circumstances sponsor other family members to get immigration benefits, and to be on a pathway to becoming eligible to apply to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Each of these options has different requirements and considerations. It would be wise for you to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all the relevant information about you, your professional skills and job, your goals, etc., would be able to advise you about immigration-related eligibilities, options and strategies.
