At BRAVLIN LAW, we help organizations secure permanent residency for the exceptional individuals they depend on-professors, researchers, executives, and professionals who make a lasting impact. Employment-based immigrant visa sponsorship isn't just about a green card-it's about investing in long-term talent, building continuity, and strengthening your institution from the inside out.
From our office in Arlington, VA, we support universities, nonprofits, research institutions, and companies across Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, and throughout the United States. Our remote-first model means we can assist you no matter where you're located, with seamless communication and strategic planning throughout the green card process.
A Strategic Approach to PERM Labor Certification
The PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) process is often required for sponsoring an employee for a green card under EB-2 and EB-3 visa categories. It involves a strict series of recruitment, wage, and timing requirements established by the Department of Labor. One misstep can derail the entire case.
At BRAVLIN LAW, we take a meticulous and proactive approach to PERM. We help you:
- Determine prevailing wage levels
- Conduct legally compliant recruitment efforts
- Navigate the audit risks associated with job postings and requirements
- File the ETA 9089 application accurately and on time
We also help you manage internal expectations, track priority dates, and plan ahead for I-140 immigrant visa petitions and adjustment of status filings. Our goal is to make sure your PERM case moves forward smoothly and in alignment with your hiring goals.
EB1B – Outstanding Professor or Researcher
Reserved for top-tier academics and researchers, the EB1B category requires an offer of permanent employment from a U.S. university or qualifying research institution. Candidates must have at least three years of teaching or research experience and international recognition in their academic field.
Our services include:
- Coordinating with universities and research departments to prepare petitions
- Documenting scholarly achievements, publications, and citations
- Demonstrating significant contributions to the academic community
- Ensuring petitions meet USCIS evidentiary standards
EB1C – Multinational Executive or Manager
The EB1C category allows multinational companies to transfer top executives or managers from an overseas office to a U.S. branch, subsidiary, or affiliate. The employee must have worked in a qualifying role abroad for at least one year within the last three years.
We assist by:
- Establishing qualifying corporate relationships between entities
- Documenting the executive or managerial role and its strategic importance
- Preparing clear evidence of the employee’s leadership responsibilities
- Navigating USCIS requirements for business operations and structure
Skilled and Unskilled Labor Sponsorship
Many of our clients rely on essential employees to support operations, manufacturing, construction, logistics, healthcare, and service industries. Whether you're seeking to sponsor a skilled technician or an unskilled laborer, we can help you pursue permanent residency options for long-term workforce needs. Some of the skilled labor occupations that we have handled include, but are not limited to, the following: physicians, lawyers of various specialty, logisticians, accountants, management consultants, engineers of various specialty, chefs, restaurant managers, etc. For unskilled labor occupations, we have experienced with cooks, cook helpers, nail technicians, customer service representatives, waiters/waitresses, etc.
The process typically involves PERM labor certification and an I-140 immigrant visa petition. We work with you to ensure compliance, avoid delays, and support your recruitment efforts. With increasing scrutiny on these types of applications, it's vital to have a legal counsel who understands the procedural nuances and potential challenges.
