Employment-Based Immigration
Employment-based immigration matters frequently involve both business planning and individual eligibility. Rajan Legal PC supports employers that sponsor foreign national talent and individuals who wish to pursue work-authorized status or permanent residence through their careers.
H-1B
H-1B is used by employers seeking to employ workers in specialty occupations and is tied to a petition-based process. Many cases also involve government-set timing and selection procedures, which makes early preparation important when a new hire, a change in work location, or a start-date deadline is involved.
L-1
L-1 supports intracompany transfers, including L-1A for managers and executives and L-1B for employees with specialized knowledge. These filings often depend on a well-documented relationship between qualifying entities and a persuasive description of the role, reporting structure, and the employee’s background within the organization.
O-1
O-1 is available to individuals who can demonstrate extraordinary ability or achievement in designated fields. Strong O-1 filings commonly turn on how the evidence is organized and how each exhibit is tied to the regulatory criteria and adjudication standards described by the government.
TN
TN permits qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to seek temporary entry for listed professional activities under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement rules. Timing and documentation are central, especially when coordinating between a job offer, role description, and the requirements that apply to the specific profession.
P-3
P-3 supports artists or entertainers coming temporarily to perform, teach, or coach as part of a culturally unique program. These cases typically require careful presentation of the program’s cultural focus and the beneficiary’s role in that program.
E visas
E visas, including E-1 treaty trader and E-2 treaty investor classifications, are issued to eligible nationals of treaty countries and are generally processed through visa application procedures. These matters often require disciplined financial and corporate documentation to show that the enterprise and the investment or trade activity meet the applicable standards.
When counsel is most valuable in this area is when a case has tight deadlines, when a worker is changing roles, locations, or employers, when a prior filing history must be reconciled across new submissions, or when a case is likely to face higher scrutiny due to role requirements, documentation gaps, or prior immigration issues. Rajan Legal PC focuses on building filings that are consistent, well-supported, and aligned with the criteria the government applies to each classification.

PERM labor certifications
Many employment-based green card paths require a Permanent Labor Certification, commonly called PERM. This process is administered by the United States Department of Labor and is centered on required recruitment steps and wage rules before an employer can move to the immigrant petition stage.
Rajan Legal PC’s services are most helpful when the employer needs to align internal hiring practices with PERM requirements, when job requirements must be framed in a way that is supported by business necessity and consistent with recruiting, or when audit risk is elevated. We assist employers in planning the sequence of steps, coordinating documentation, and preparing filings that are ready for government review.
Employment-based green cards including EB-1, EB-2, EB-3
Employment-based permanent residence generally proceeds through immigrant petition procedures and, depending on the category, may involve a PERM labor certification first. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services describes employment-based green card eligibility across EB-1, EB-2, and related groupings, while Form I-140 is the core immigrant petition used by employers in many employment-based cases.
Visa availability can also affect timing. The United States Department of State explains that employment-based immigrant visas are allocated each fiscal year and are divided into preference categories.
Rajan Legal PC helps clients identify the strongest category fit, assemble supporting evidence that matches the category’s standards, and coordinate the next step after petition approval, whether that is adjustment of status in the United States or immigrant visa processing through a consular post.

Extensions, amendments, and employer compliance matters
Work-authorized classifications often require ongoing filings over the life of employment. Extensions and amendments may be needed when employment terms change, and employers also face compliance duties that can affect both business risk and employee status. For many worker classifications, the starting point is Form I-129 for petition-based temporary worker filings.
In some extension scenarios, a timely filed extension petition can allow continued work authorization for a limited period while the government processes the filing, which can be critical for uninterrupted operations and payroll planning.
For H-1B matters, employer obligations also connect to the Labor Condition Application process administered by the Department of Labor, which is part of maintaining program compliance and meeting wage and notice rules.
Rajan Legal PC assists employers and employees with planning for end dates, role changes, worksite moves, and documentation updates, to keep filings aligned with real-world employment and minimize avoidable interruptions.
