Permanent residence is the status granted to immigrants to live and work permanently in the United States. In most cases, an immigrant who comes to the United States on an Immigrant visa receives one of the following types:
- “Family-based visa” for those with a relative who is a United States citizen or Permanent Resident, or
- "Employment-based visa" for which a job offer from an employer in the United States is generally required.
Everyone in the office has heard the phrase "Permanent Residence for Employment does not exist" or some similar phrase about Employment Immigrant visas.
To clarify doubts, we share this flyer published by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (Commonly known as Immigration) where they present this beautiful program to employers in English and Spanish. If someone you know needs to know about this process or doesn't believe it exists, share it with that person, they might thank you.
