Saugerties, NY Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

There are many countries that generally do not care about the immigration status of an immigration applicant in another country. The United States for one does not care, and we have immigrated many people to the States whose immigration statuses were not legal in a third country. More of an impediment is probably your age and possible lack of high education and working skills if attempting to immigrate through employment.  You would have to speak with people who know about the immigration rules of other countries on your specific circumstances. We unfortunately do not.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

That depends upon whether your bachelor’s degree was earned in the US or if not, is the equivalent of a US baccalaureate degree – and whether it is related to the position that you will be sponsored for, which must be in a specialty occupation requiring a related bachelors degree. If your bachelor’s degree is not the equivalent of a US bachelor’s degree, you might be able to qualify for H-1B specialty occupation status if you had sufficient related professional work to make up for the lack of a US degree. In immigration parlance, three years of such work can make up for one year of missing education. There is even the possibility of your master schooling being added to your baccalaureate schooling to give you the equivalent of a baccalaureate degree related to the specialty occupation. If you meet those conditions, your employer can sponsor you. For FY-2025, cap H1B registration season goes from 3/6/24 – 3/22/24. If you miss this registration, you would have to wait until next year for the next round.
