KMD Helps You Live & Work in the U.S.

Are you, or someone you know, interested in immigrating to the United States? Do you own a business or manage employees who need to transfer, modify, or otherwise maintain their visas? Our team can help.

Our country continues to be a magnet for people of other countries. The fact is that the United States attracts more visitors and immigrants than any other country in the world, every year. Citizens of other countries may be interested in coming for a very brief visit lasting only a few days, or staying for a few months or years, perhaps permanently moving to this country, or ultimately becoming American citizens.

Foreign citizens frequently ask us how they, having limited connections or no links to the U.S., could immigrate to this country. This requires a well-planned strategy, knowledge of the options available, and can take several specific steps. The U.S. government has established many visa programs based on different categories, which broadly can be categorized as employment, investment, family, and asylum.

Employment Immigration

Generally, but not always, a sponsor or employer is needed. There are different programs available for certain professions and trades, and the employment can be seasonal, temporary or permanent (green card). The availability of qualified labor and intellectual talent helps the United States remain economically strong and maintain its international competitiveness. In many cases, studying in the United States increases the probability of being offered employment here, as practical training, or for a permanent position.

Investors

In the interest of continuing to promote entrepreneurship and a business-friendly environment, the United States has established several programs that require capital investments and makes them available to citizens of certain countries. What the capital requirements are is a common question, and the answer may, or may not, be a fixed amount. In many cases, the required investment should be enough to support the family of the investor which varies from case to case, and in other programs a fixed amount is required (usually higher). The difference between the required investment amounts of each program would result in different types of visa granted, i.e., temporary or permanent (green card).

Family Immigration Services

As a nation of immigrants and with a history of large waves of immigration, the U.S. has now within its borders many American citizens and legal permanent residents who have relatives in their countries of origin. For many of those relatives, the differences in the quality of life and opportunities they have in their countries, compared with the life in the United States, is strikingly evident and makes them become interested in moving to the United States as a way of looking for a better future for them and their families.
