Free Webinar: Achieving Lawful Permanent Residency Through the Labor Certification Process
We here at Brick Gentry, PC, have an on-going in-house Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program, whereby all the attorneys take turns presenting on a different legal topic each month. In addition to conveniently earning yourself a handy CLE credit, the in-house program is great because it helps you become aware of your colleagues' areas of speciality and brings to light interesting cross marketing possibilities that might otherwise fall to the wayside during a hectic work week.
In December I presented a CLE entitled "The Employment-Based Path to Lawful Permanent Residency in the United States Through the Labor Certification Process". Despite the clunky (albeit descriptive!) title, the CLE was very well received and a number of partners suggested that I post it as our firm's first free webinar. We hooked up with Andrew B. Clark, who writes a cool marketing blog here, and Andrew really added a tremendous production value to the presentation I had written, the end result of which you see and can view and listen to below this very post!
By way of a brief introduction, I should note that there are a number of commonly acknowledged ways someone can immigrate to the United States: 1) through a family member; 2) as an asylee or refugee; 3) through the visa lottery system; 4) through the EB-5 investment program (more coming on this soon); and finally 5) through an employment relationship. It is this last category, the employment relationship, that serves as the focus of the webinar below. More specifically, this webinar speaks to a situation where a U.S. employer has a valuable foreign national employee and the employer wants to be able to retain the foreign national employee in the U.S. on a "permanent" basis. The most common way of helping this employee remain in the U.S. beyond their temporary status is through the labor certification process. For a whole slew of additional details, see below! And please keep an eye in the future here for additional webinars from Brick Gentry, PC.
