Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change employers on an H-1B?

Yes, H-1B workers can generally change employers with a new petition filed on their behalf.

To sponsor an individual for a green card through the PERM process, an employer must test the U.S. labor market to determine if there are qualified U.S. workers are available for the offered position.

Most employment visas allow spouses and children (under 21) to accompany under derivative status.

Eligibility is based on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) standards — typically your profession, skill level, and whether you have a U.S. employer sponsoring you. Because the process has become increasingly complex, the best way to find out where you stand is to speak with an experienced immigration attorney.

While it’s technically possible to file on your own, employment-based immigration cases involve complex requirements, strict deadlines, and costly mistakes that are hard to undo. Working with an attorney significantly improves your chances.
