Process wherein an employer offers a job to an immigrant.  The employer, through its attorney, must prove to the Labor Dept that hiring the immigrant will not displace an American from the job and that the immigrant is qualified for the job.  Job offers may be from a household (in the case of a domestic worker i.e. nanny) or from a corporation.  Ultimately, a Petition and Adjustment (greencard) is filed with the USCIS wherein the petitioner proves it can afford to hire the immigrant and the immigrant proves she is eligible for the greencard.  If the individual is out of status she must prove she is grandfathered by INA Section 245(i).

Required Documents: Employers Tax Return, Immigrant's: Diploma, Resume, Passport, I-94, Employment Reference Letter
