Options for Afghans to Immigrate to the United States
Asylum Lawyer
Introduction
Welcome to The Deng Law Firm, your trusted partner in immigration services. As an Afghan national, you may be exploring avenues to immigrate to the United States. We understand the complexities and challenges associated with immigration, especially during these uncertain times. Our expert team is here to provide you with comprehensive guidance on the various options available to Afghans seeking to make the United States their new home.
Family-Sponsored Immigration
One of the most common pathways for immigration is family sponsorship. If you have close family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, they may be able to petition for your immigration. Immediate relatives, such as spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21, have higher preference and faster processing times. Our experienced attorneys can assist in preparing and filing the necessary paperwork, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.
Employment-Based Immigration
Another option available to Afghans is employment-based immigration. If you possess certain skills, qualifications, or job offers from U.S. employers, you may be eligible for employment-based visas. These visas are categorized into different preference categories, with higher priority given to individuals with exceptional abilities, advanced degrees, or those in high-demand occupations. The Deng Law Firm can help you navigate the complex criteria and requirements associated with employment-based immigration.
Refugee and Asylum Status
For those fleeing persecution or violence in Afghanistan, seeking refugee or asylum status in the United States may be an option. Refugees are individuals who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Asylum, on the other hand, is available to individuals who are already within the United States and meet the necessary criteria. Our dedicated team can guide you through the refugee and asylum application process, ensuring your rights and safety are protected.
Diversity Visa Lottery
Each year, the United States government holds the Diversity Visa Lottery, also known as the Green Card Lottery. This program aims to diversify the immigrant population by randomly selecting individuals from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. Afghan nationals are eligible to participate in the Diversity Visa Lottery, giving them a chance to obtain permanent residency in the United States. The Deng Law Firm can assist you in understanding the eligibility requirements and submitting a successful application.
Investment-Based Immigration
If you have substantial financial resources and wish to invest in the United States, an investment-based immigration option might be suitable for you. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides a pathway to permanent residency for eligible entrepreneurs who invest a specific amount of capital in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs for U.S. workers. Our immigration lawyers can guide you through the investment requirements, documentation, and regional center selection to maximize your chances of success.
