Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Work Visas

Keen Law Offices, LLC, serves individuals seeking to work in the United States, and assists employers sponsoring skilled workers from other countries. This complex and time-consuming process requires attention to detail and knowledge of immigration laws and the federal bureaucracy.

We represents foreign nationals applying for entry to the U.S., as well as students, visitors and other resident aliens already living in the U.S. who are seeking work visas. We also assist foreign employers and U.S. companies with employment-based visas for workers and managers. Contact our office in Orem, Utah, to discuss your situation.

Non-Immigrant Employment Visas

  • H-1B visa — Temporary work visa for professionals with a college degree who have a specific job lined up
  • H-1A visa — The "nurse visa" for medical professionals to fill shortages in the U.S.
  • H-2B visa — Low level/unskilled workers (construction, landscaping, hospitality)
  • H-2A visa — Agricultural jobs and other seasonal work
  • H-4 visas for the spouse and children of temporary workers
  • NAFTA TN visas for skilled workers from Mexico and Canada
  • L-1 and L-2 visas for managers, executives and critical employees
  • O visas for non-immigrants with extraordinary ability
  • E-1 and E-2 trading and investor visas ("treaty trader")

Non-immigrant employment visas, such as the H-1B and NAFTA visas, may be limited by annual quotas for each country. Our experienced immigration attorneys can process your petition quickly to meet filing deadlines and address any immigration violations or other problems that could result in rejection.

We also assist with visa extensions, waivers or adjustment of status if your employment visa is expiring and you wish to continue working in the U.S. or would like to get your green card.

Immigrant Work Visas

If you are seeking to enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), there are many immigration requirements to fulfill. We assist individuals or sponsoring employers with all paperwork, including the PERM labor certification process to verify qualification, eligibility and that the job cannot be filled by applicants within the United States:

  • EB-1 visa — Priority workers (scientists, engineers, programmers, physicians)
  • EB-2 visa — Advanced degree or exceptional ability
  • EB-3 visa — Other professionals or skilled workers
  • EB-4 visa — Special immigrants

Experienced and Detail-Oriented

Work visas are very technical and the rules frequently change. Any errors or missing information on your work permit application could result in denial or delay, putting you at the back of the line. Keen Law Offices, LLC, will walk you through the process, answer all your questions and give you updates on the status of your petition.
