Determine your eligibility for an employment-based visa category.

Find a U.S. employer willing to sponsor your visa application and file a labor certification application with the Department of Labor.

File Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to petition for your immigration.

Wait for the petition to be approved and a visa number to become available, which may involve a waiting period depending on the visa category and country of origin.
