At the Columbus, Ohio, law offices of Harrison Alo, Attorneys at Law, we will never shy from taking on a difficult employment immigration case.

Our clients have appreciated the creative solutions we have devised to alleviate their immigration problems. You will, too. Whether you are a worker or an employer, we can help.

Employment-Based Immigrant Categories

Foreign workers can acquire a green card under several conditions and programs, including:

• Professional workers or skilled and unskilled workers.
• Priority workers, meaning persons of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors or researchers, and executives and managers of multinational companies.
• Professionals holding advanced degrees or persons of exceptional ability in the arts, sciences, or business.
• Religious workers, persons seeking reacquisition of citizenship, returning residents, Panama Canal Treaty employees, commuters from borders, retired G-4 officers, foreign medical graduates, and court defendants.
• Investors in companies employing at least 10 U.S. citizens or authorized immigrant workers.

For temporary workers, the list of visa categories would include:

• Professionals
• Seasonal workers
• Fashion models
• People entering the U.S. for training
• Religious workers
• Nurses and other health professionals
• Investors
• Representatives of foreign media companies
• Athletes
• Canadian and Mexican citizens performing professional-level work
• Employees of international organizations

We are here to help businesses hire the employees they need and to help talented workers gain admittance to the United States. A few of the above categories are subject to quotas. Most of them call for labor certification. We help employers and employees determine which type is the best path to a green card.
