Special Visas
There are a few different types of specialized visas that
the United States grants for special circumstances. They
are as follows: T visa is for victims of human trafficking, U
visa is for victims of criminal activity, and VAWA is for

Naturalization
If you have lived in the United States for an extended period of
time, you may desire to become a citizen by the process of
naturalization. The law allows certain Legal Permanent Residents
(LPRs) to become a US citizen after they have maintained their LPR
status for a period of time and meet some other eligibility
requirements. This is not an automatic grant of status and
affirmative petition has to be filed establishing eligibility. Bhagat
Law is experienced in helping you with this process.

Employment Visa
A person can get a Green Card and become a Legal
Permanent Resident if a United States Employer files a
petition for them. Generally this process involves
getting a certification from the Labor Department
before the Employer can petition the Immigration
Service (USCIS). There are several categories for this
type of visa and the process differs based on the

Family Visa
The most common avenue to obtaining a Green Card is
through an immediate family member who is a US
citizen (USC) or LPR. The law allows a US Citizen and a
LPR to bring their immediate family members to live in
the United States if they desire. The sponsorship
process varies on whether your family member is a USC
or LPR and your relationship to them. There are set
visa numbers
for different preference

Investor Visas
The E1 visa deals with an alien setting up a business that
essentially trades between the US and the aliens home
country. The E2 visa enables aliens to buy or start their own
business and in the process create and sustain jobs. E1 and
E2 visas are non-immigrant visas but in some cases, can
lead to permanent resident status. The EB5 immigrant visa
allows permanent residence immediately upon entry to the
U.S. based on an investment between $500,000 and
$1million
a U.S. business.

Asylum: Defensive & Affirmative Application

If you have fled your home country in order to escape
unlawful treatment or persecution, you may be eligible for
asylum in the United States. An alien can file for asylum
as a defensive petition in the removal proceeding if he
can show past persecution and/or fear of future
persecution in his home country based on the five
statutory grounds. You can file an Asylum petition with the
Immigration Service as an affirmative application.
