If you are a United States green card holder whose spouse has been offered employment abroad, you may be a bit concerned about being able to maintain your green card while traveling or living abroad with your spouse. Not to worry, the Immigration and Nationality Act provides a way for green card holders to naturalize through their spouse’s qualifying employment and to waive the physical and continuous presence requirements.

Are you an accomplished professional working in the arts, sciences, business, education, or athletics seeking to work in the United States? Do you have an offer of work in the United States, but your employer is hesitant or unwilling to sponsor you? Depending on your academic and professional background, you may qualify to immigrate to the United States to work in your field of endeavor with an approved EB-1A petition.

Looking to work in the United States, but not sure of your options?

Congratulations! You and your spouse have made it through USCIS’ vetting, and you now have a green card that is valid for two (2) years.
