Alcorn Immigration Law provides immigration legal services to companies, employees, founders and other talent seeking an employment-based green card. Most employment-based green cards require candidates to have an employer sponsor. However, a few allow candidates to self-petition without one.
Sponsor Yourself
If you want to sponsor yourself for a green card based on your expertise or ability to invest in a U.S. enterprise—without an employer sponsor—consider either:
- EB-1A Green Cards for Aliens of Extraordinary Ability
- EB-2 NIW National Interest Waiver
- EB-5 Investor Green Cards for Employment Creation
Sponsor an Employee
If you want to sponsor an employee and avoid the labor certification and recruitment process, consider either:
- EB-1A Green Cards for Aliens of Extraordinary Ability
- EB-1B Green Cards for Outstanding Researchers and Professors
- EB-1C Green Cards for Multinational Managers and Executives
- EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver)
If you want to sponsor an employee through the standard green-card process, consider either:
- EB-2 Green Cards for Members of the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees
- EB-2 Green Cards for Persons of Exceptional Ability
- EB-3 Green Cards for Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers
