Northern Virginia Lawyer for Self-Sponsored VisasHelping Start American Dreams There are several types of visas available that allow for self sponsorship, including persons with extraordinary ability, asylum seekers, and battered spouses and children. I am experienced in assisting self-sponsering aliens with both immigrant and non-immigrant visas. Paul L. Good An Experienced Lawyer for Self-Sponsored Visas Self-sponsoring is possible in the follow situations: Investment There are two categories of non-immigrant visas available for investors from countries with which the U.S. has a special treaty. The E-1 visa is for national of such a country who intends to conduct trade between the U.S. and their country. The E-2 is for national of such a country who wants to set up a business or direct such a business. Asylum Applications I have experience handling asylum applications and hearings related to asylum. The government is very selective in accepting asylum application. I work closely with my clients to help them fill out Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal. Battered Spouses Alien spouses who have been battered by their U.S. citizen or green card husbands can self-petition and, if approved, can file for a green card. Exceptional Ability Persons These special people have a distinct advantage in obtaining immigrant visas based on proven talent. Professionals in many fields, such as sciences, arts, education, business, athletics, academia, research, multinational management may be eligible. Exceptional Ability Persons Research scientists who are involved with subjects of national interest can self-sponsor, i.e. they do not have to obtain labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. Victims of Criminal Activity Two options are included in this category. Local or federal law enforcement support is generally needed to qualify for the U or T visas. Special Immigrants This category of unusual person includes returning U.S. residents, former U.S. citizens, certain alien employees, certain alien military recruits, and certain Iraqis.
