Whether you’re an ambitious professional seeking to build a career in the United States or a Florida business looking to hire international talent, employment-based immigration provides the legal path forward. The U.S. immigration system offers several categories of visas for skilled workers, professionals, and executives — but the process is complex.

At Diaz Shafer Immigration, our Tampa-based attorneys guide both individuals and businesses through these procedures with clarity and confidence. With decades of combined experience, we help our clients secure the visas, green cards, and work permits necessary to achieve their goals.

Employment-Based Immigration Options

The U.S. immigration system recognizes several “EB” (employment-based) visa categories, each with its own requirements:

• EB-1 Visas (Priority Workers): For individuals with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, or multinational managers and executives.
• EB-2 Visas (Advanced Degrees/National Interest Waiver): For professionals with advanced degrees or individuals whose work benefits the national interest of the United States.
• EB-3 Visas (Skilled Workers & Professionals): For skilled workers, professionals with bachelor’s degrees, and certain unskilled workers where no qualified U.S. workers are available.
• EB-5 Investor Visa: For foreign investors who contribute significant capital into U.S. businesses, creating jobs and strengthening the economy.

Each of these categories comes with unique requirements, deadlines, and documentation needs. Our attorneys will evaluate your situation and identify the best option for you.

The Role of Employers in Employment-Based Immigration

For many employment-based visas, U.S. employers play a critical role. Employers may need to:

• File petitions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
• Complete a PERM Labor Certification process to show no qualified U.S. workers are available.
• Provide job offers and supporting documentation.

At Diaz Shafer Immigration, we help businesses navigate this process smoothly, minimizing the risks of delays and denials.
