Every individual who is seeking to enter the US with the intention to work in the US needs to understand that every situation is different and that there are several paths to achieving authorized employment status.

Some of the questions that might have:
  • What is the eligibility?
  • How do I qualify
  •  How long will it take?
  • Which one do I choose?
  • How can I obtain a green card?
  • When can I apply for US Citizenship?
