Questions About U.S. Visas
What is the average timeframe for visa approval?
The timeframe varies significantly depending on the specific visa category and the complexity of the case. Generally, it can range from a few months to over a year.
Which documents do I need to begin a Green Card process?
Typically, you will need personal identification documents, proof of qualifying family relationships or a U.S. job offer, academic transcripts and diplomas, and financial documentation.
Do I need to speak English to start my process?
No. You can begin your immigration process even if you are not fluent in English. Our team provides comprehensive support in Portuguese throughout your entire journey.
How do I know if I am eligible for a Green Card?
Each immigration category has specific legal requirements. A free evaluation with our specialists can help determine your eligibility based on your professional background, family ties, or investment capacity.
What is required to prove professional experience?
Documents such as employment contracts, reference letters from employers, professional certifications, and a detailed career history are essential to substantiating your experience.
What are the requirements for the EB-2 NIW visa?
You must demonstrate either “Exceptional Ability” or hold an “Advanced Degree,” while also proving that your proposed endeavor in the U.S. has substantial merit and national importance, and that you are well-positioned to advance it.
Do I need a job offer to apply for an EB-1 visa?
Not necessarily. For the EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability) category, a job offer is not required. However, for categories like EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) or EB-1C (Multinational Managers or Executives), a U.S. employer sponsor is required.
Does the EB-5 visa require job creation? If so, how many?
Yes. The EB-5 program requires the investor to demonstrate that their investment will create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers.
What is PERM and how does it work?
PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is the labor certification process used to demonstrate that there are no able, willing, qualified, and available U.S. workers for a specific position. This is a requirement for certain employment-based Green Card categories, such as the EB-3.
Can I include my family in my immigration process?
Yes. Most immigrant visa and Green Card processes allow you to include your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 as derivative beneficiaries.
How long does the U.S. citizenship process take?
On average, the naturalization process can take between 6 months to over a year, depending on the specific USCIS field office jurisdiction and the complexity of the individual case.
