Employment Immigration

Overview

How Mann Law Group helps

Employment cases succeed on timing, clean employer documentation, and choosing the right category for the job and the worker. Mann Law Group guides employers and employees through the temporary work visa, the labor-certification process where required, and the employment-based green card, keeping status intact along the way.

Common services and issues

Specialty-occupation and temporary work visas

For professional roles, we prepare the labor condition application and petition, advise on cap and lottery timing where it applies, and coordinate extensions and amendments as a job or worksite changes.

PERM labor certification

Many employment-based green cards begin with PERM — a recruitment and prevailing-wage process where the employer tests the U.S. labor market. We manage the steps and the documentation that audits scrutinize.

Employment-based green cards

We handle the immigrant petition and the final residence step, track the priority date against the Visa Bulletin, and advise on portability so a worker can change jobs at the right stage without losing the case.

Employer compliance and documentation

We help employers keep the public-access files, wage records, and petition support that the government expects, reducing the risk that a strong case is undone by a paperwork gap.

What to keep in mind

Some work visas are subject to annual caps and a lottery, so filing windows matter — plan months ahead of a needed start date.
Employment green cards depend on the priority date in the Visa Bulletin, and country backlogs can add years even after the petition is approved.
Changing employers or roles can affect a pending case. There are rules that allow job changes at certain stages, but a move at the wrong time can reset or end a case — get advice first.
The employer is a party to most of these filings. Coordinated, accurate documentation from both sides prevents avoidable requests for evidence.

Common Questions

Sometimes, and the rules depend on the case type and stage. At certain points a green-card case can be 'ported' to a similar job, but a change at the wrong moment can jeopardize the case. Get legal advice before making a move.

PERM is the first step in many employment-based green cards. The employer conducts a defined recruitment process and obtains a prevailing-wage determination to show no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role, before the immigrant petition is filed.

It varies by category and by your country's priority-date backlog. Some cases move in a reasonable timeframe; others wait years for a visa number. We give you a realistic estimate based on your category and nationality.
