Employment Based Green Card

Immigration into the United States has always played a major role in the strength of its economy. Perhaps no one understands this more than the residents of Philadelphia, where the Liberty Bell still welcomes foreigners to one of the richest historical communities of our country.

Each year, the current immigration laws allow a designated number of individuals to qualify for a green card. Hykel Law is pleased to assist prospective immigrants and their employers to obtain permanent resident status, whereupon successful achievement of a green card allows a person to peacefully live, work, and become part of our U.S. heritage.

Paving the way for your employee’s green card status

Hykel Law has a wealth of experience in handling green card filings. We help you from start to finish, including organization, preparation and help with gathering eligibility requirements for employment-based immigration needs. If your prospective employee is currently overseas and you are prepared to go through the sponsorship process, Renee Hykel Cuddy is knowledgeable about the things that need to be done to get them into the United States legally.

The immigration process is complicated, especially regarding employment. A number of procedures must be navigated, both by the sponsoring employer and the prospective foreign national. An alien labor certification (PERM) is often necessary to complete the process.

The majority of employment-based green cards are granted by the USCIS through the EB-3 classification, which applies to skilled workers, professionals and others. Hykel Law guides you through the process as smoothly as possible, to make the transition easier both for the employee and the organization going through the sponsorship procedures. Having a great immigration lawyer in Philadelphia to advise you will certainly increase your likelihood of success. EB-1 and EB-2 classification are available to scientists, researchers, specialized physicians, professors and other niche positions, or for government and religious individuals. EB-5 visas are set aside for big investors.

Leave the complexities to Hykel Law. Let us evaluate your circumstances to determine the best course of action to get your most valuable employees into the U.S. legally, by way of green card designation.

Family Based Immigration

Not knowing or understanding the system and laws of the U.S. can be a disadvantage for many foreign immigrants who wish to obtain permanent residency in the United States, either for themselves or for their loved ones. Hykel Law’s Family-Based Immigration Services can lead you through the complicated process to achieve either temporary or permanent residency, depending on your situation.

Employment-Based Immigration

Immigration to the United States has always played a major role in the strength of its economy. America was built by welcoming the best, the brightest and the most energetic people to build our nation up from within. Perhaps no one understands this....

Citizenship & Naturalization

Becoming a U.S. Citizen, by birth or by taking the legal steps necessary to do so is one of the greatest feelings every person living in America has a right to experience. Hykel Law of Philadelphia, PA is honored to help immigrants who wish to obtain citizenship legally, because we understand the many freedoms and privileges it can bring to you and your family.

Marriage / Fiancé Visas

Some families become separated when a spouse or partner is able to achieve residency in the U.S. This could be due to one partner being born in the U.S., while their partner is considered a foreigner, or perhaps because of a work visa, student visa or many other circumstances.

Asylum

Having an experienced immigration attorney in Philadelphia who knows how to properly plan, organize, file, and represent your asylum case will dramatically increase your odds of being granted an asylum within the United States. Hykel Law has successfully achieved asylum for many of our clients throughout the various stages of the process.

VAWA Immigration Attorney

In 1994, Congress passed the (VAWA) Violence Against Women Act to help battered non-U.S. citizens be granted lawful immigration status in the United States. Basic eligibility requirements for a battered foreign non-citizen include being married to an abuser who is either a citizen of the United States or a lawful permanent resident.

Immigration Appeals and Litigation

If you are in need of a competent Pennsylvania immigration lawyer, Hykel Law serves this niche throughout Greater Philadelphia and Southern NJ. U.S. immigration laws are not always clear-cut like other laws. For some foreign nationals, our system is downright confusing and frustrating. Not everyone fits into the “mold” of what is allowed or not allowed under the current interpretation of immigration laws.
