Immigration Journey: From H-1B to Green Card
A software engineer from Brazil was on his third H-1B extension when his employer agreed to sponsor him for a green card. We guided both the employer and employee through the PERM labor certification process, prevailing wage determination, and the I-140 immigrant petition.

Step by Step Journey
The entire process took 18 months. His wife, who had been on an H-4 dependent visa, received her work authorization. Both children are now on a path to citizenship. The family bought their first home in Marietta last year.
The PERM process required extensive documentation of the employer recruitment efforts and proof that no qualified U.S. workers were available. We worked closely with the HR department to ensure every step was properly documented.
With the green card secured, the family now has permanent stability — no more visa renewals, no more uncertainty about status expiration dates.
