Practice Areas
Self-Sponsored and Employment-Based Immigrant Visas
Employment-based immigrant visas provide a pathway to permanent residence for individuals whose work, expertise, and contributions are of value to U.S. employers and the broader economy. These cases often represent a long-term investment for both the organization and the individual, requiring careful planning, strong documentation, and a clear understanding of regulatory expectations.
At Salvetti Law Group, we guide employers and professionals through both employer-sponsored and self-petition pathways with a focus on positioning each case for long-term success. Our approach is deliberate and strategic, ensuring that every petition reflects not only eligibility, but the strength and purpose behind the application.
We regularly work with healthcare organizations, academic institutions, and highly skilled professionals navigating complex immigration pathways, including physician-focused cases and advanced degree professionals. Each matter is handled with attention to detail, coordination across stakeholders, and alignment with long-term career and organizational goals.
Key Visa Pathways
EB-1 – Extraordinary Ability
The EB-1 category is reserved for individuals who have demonstrated a high level of achievement in their field. These cases require a compelling presentation of accomplishments supported by strong evidence and clear positioning.
We represent:
- EB-1(A) extraordinary individuals with sustained national or international recognition
- EB-1(B) outstanding researchers and academics
- EB-1(C) multinational executives and managers transferring to U.S. operations
Each petition is carefully developed to meet rigorous evidentiary standards while clearly articulating the individual’s impact and qualifications.
EB-2 – Exceptional Ability / Advanced Degree
The EB-2 category is designed for professionals with advanced degrees or individuals who demonstrate exceptional ability in their field. These pathways often provide flexibility in how permanent residence is pursued, particularly for individuals whose work has broader significance.
We guide clients through:
- National Interest Waivers (NIW), allowing qualified individuals to self-petition based on the value of their work
- Physician National Interest Waivers (PNIW), tailored for physicians serving in areas of need
Our approach focuses on building well-supported cases that clearly demonstrate both eligibility and the importance of the individual’s contributions.
PERM (Labor Certification) based I-140 petitions
PERM-based petitions are a foundational component of employer-sponsored permanent residence. These cases require strict adherence to Department of Labor regulations, including recruitment, documentation, and timing requirements.
We advise employers through each stage of the PERM process and subsequent I-140 petition, ensuring compliance while aligning the process with broader workforce planning and retention strategies.
Schedule A I-140 petitions for Nurses and Physical Therapists
Schedule A petitions provide a more streamlined pathway to permanent residence for certain healthcare professionals, including nurses and physical therapists.
We work with healthcare employers and professionals to navigate these cases efficiently, coordinating immigration requirements with licensing, credentialing, and employment considerations.
A Strategic Approach
Permanent residence is often the result of multiple coordinated steps over time. The choices made early in the process can significantly impact long-term outcomes.
Our role is to provide clear, strategic guidance at each stage, ensuring that every decision supports both immediate needs and future opportunities. With a focus on precision, structure, and thoughtful planning, we help our clients move forward with confidence.
