Employment-based residencies in the United States for non-citizens require a Green Card. There are five types of employment-based green cards, generally referred to as EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4, and EB-5 categories. Most require an employer\/sponsor, but a few allow self-petitioning. JCL Immigration Attorneys can work with you to determine the best route for you to obtain your green card through employment and submit the necessary documentation with your application.<\/p>\n
