How Can You Obtain a Green Card Through Employment?

Obtaining a green card through employment typically involves a three-step process: labor certification, filing a petition, and adjustment of status or consular processing. Once the labor department certifies there’s no qualified U.S. worker for the job, the sponsoring employer can file a petition. Once approved, you can file for an adjustment of status if you’re in the U.S, or undergo consular processing if you’re outside.
