EMPLOYMENT-BASED
IMMIGRANT VISAS

The Immigration and Nationality Act provides a yearly limit of 140,000 employment-based immigrant visas, which are divided into five preference categories. They usually require a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the filing of a petition with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This petition is usually filed by the US based employer, not the individual overseas.

Further information on employment based immigrant visas is available from US Citizenship and Immigration services.
