Some people who want to come into the United States do so on an immigration visa. These are available each year in a limited number. For some visas, the person has to have a job here with an employer who has a labor certification. Obtaining that certification is the responsibility of the employer.
We realize that when you are ready to move to this country, that you want to do things in a legal and timely manner. Unfortunately, you might not be able to move quickly. Going through any immigration process takes time. There are some ways to ensure your petition gets through the process as quickly as possible. One is to have all of the paperwork in order. Any missing forms or omissions can result in the process taking longer than necessary.
When you are ready to work in the U.S., you need to be fully prepared for life here. Learning a bit about the American culture might help you since you will likely encounter scenarios throughout your work experiences that put these lessons to the test. As you interact with your co-workers and others once you get here, you will probably learn a bit more about life in the United States.
Another thing to consider when you come here on a work visa is whether you are able to bring your family with you. Sometimes, families decide to come here as a unit, but others prefer for the worker to come first and get established, with the others following later. It is important to make sure the whoever is coming has all their documentation in order when they arrive.
