FAQs

We are here to help you and committed to address your inquiries within 24 hours. While you may find some answers to your questions on this page, we would be delighted to assist you with anything you may need within immigration and global mobility.

Am I required to complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification for every employee?

Yes. A Form I-9 must be completed for every employee a company hires. Employers must complete this document within three (3) business days after the employee’s start date and physically examine documentation confirming the new employee’s employment eligibility.  Contact us to discuss this process and ensure compliance with current regulations. 

I entered the United States on a B-1 visa. Can I get paid?

Yes, but the rules are strict when it comes to receiving compensation while on a B-1 business visitor status. Contact Antonioli & Associates for an analysis of your case.  

Are there any immigration benefits for a start-up investor?

Yes. If you are a start-up investor with a 10% ownership interest in a U.S.-based company, you may qualify for an International Entrepreneur Parole. Contact Antonioli & Associates to discuss your eligibility for this benefit.

I am in H-1B status. What are my options to obtain Permanent Residence?

For H-1B workers, the most common way to obtain Permanent Residence is through the Labor Certification process, also known as PERM. At Antonioli & Associates, we have been working on PERM cases since the program was introduced in 2005. Contact us to discuss your eligibility.

I am in F-1 status. Can I work in the United States?

Yes, but under strict circumstances. Significantly, F-1 students may not work off-campus during the first academic year but may accept on-campus employment under certain conditions and restrictions. After the first academic year, F-1 students may engage in three types of off-campus employment: Curricular Practical Training (CPT), Optional Practical Training (OPT) (pre-completion or post-completion), and STEM Optional Practical Training Extension (STEM OPT).

F-1 students may also be eligible to work off-campus on a case-by-case basis due to special situations such as severe economic hardship or special student relief.

Can I maintain my student status (e.g., F-1) while exploring other immigration options?

Yes. Antonioli & Associates can help you explore options to stay in the United States after completing your studies, including changing your status to a work visa and eventually in exploring permanent residence options. 

How does Antonioli & Associates handle intracompany transfer cases under the L-1 category?

We evaluate the company’s structure and the employee’s role to ensure compliance with L-1 visa requirements, including the relationship between the parent company and branches, affiliates, or subsidiaries, and the nature of the current and prospective roles (i.e., whether executive, managerial, or specialized knowledge).

How can I start my permanent residence process in the United States?

The permanent residence process can be initiated through an employer or as a self-petitioner. Antonioli & Associates will guide you through each step to ensure you meet the appropriate eligibility criteria for the category that best suits your credentials. 

How can I find out if I qualify for an "Einstein visa" or a visa for individuals with extraordinary abilities?

Please contact Antonioli & Associates for a meticulous analysis of your background. We will expertly assess your credentials and determine if you meet the threshold requirements for an extraordinary ability visa. We can also help in exploring your eligibility for permanent residence.  

What specific criteria does Antonioli & Associates evaluate to determine eligibility for an EB-1 visa?

We assess significant achievements in the person’s field, such as international awards, academic publications, memberships in recognized associations, and major contributions to the industry. It is crucial to demonstrate that the individual is recognized as a leader in their area of expertise. We recommend that the individual seeking an extraordinary abilities visa meet—at a minimum—five of the criteria outlined in the regulations. 

Can you help me determine if I am eligible for U.S. citizenship?

Yes. We would be delighted to discuss your options for seeking U.S. citizenship. We will expertly guide you through filing the appropriate application and, most importantly, prepare you for the interview, which includes English and Civics tests.
