The United States has long been one of the most desirable countries to live, attracting people from all over the world. However, as time has passed, it has become more and more difficult to relocate to the United States. This Immigration laws have become stricter, the border has become more rigid, and people’s requests to enter the United States are now frequently rejected.
For the people that are granted access to the United States, however, they still find a country that is full of opportunity and possibilities. The United States is still the largest economy in the world, and it is on its way to recovery since the financial struggles of 2008-2009. Just this past year US President Obama started a new aspect of the healthcare system that is designed to give health coverage to many residents who once lacked such coverage.
Our immigration lawyers can help you find the visa pathway which grants you legal access to the United States. We can maneuver through the minefield of immigration obstacles in order to find the right visa for you. Whether it’s a petition for a work visa, Green Card through family sponsorship or employment, the Diversity Lottery, or almost any other type of visa, we can provide you with the legal assistance that you need.
Each of the visa types listed above have their own separate legal requirements. Sometimes these requirements are based on education credentials, sometimes it is based on proving the legitimacy of a relationship, and other times one’s work abilities need to be demonstrated. Adding even further complexity to the application process, additional inadmissibility issues can arise such as previous criminal acts or immigration violations. Having an immigration lawyer that can navigate through these issues and safely guide you to an American visa can be the difference between an application being rejected and an application being approved.
The United States unemployment rate is 7.3% as of October 2013, which is an excellent number that shows the economy is regaining momentum. New businesses are forming, jobs are being created, and there is reason for legitimate optimism. A key to maintaining this momentum is to attract talented individuals from all over the world to the US. And if the US Government manages to make certain changes to the immigration laws (which they are currently discussing), then the economy may become even stronger. Finding a legal way into this powerful and promising economy is a life-changing opportunity.
