Employment-Based Immigration
Whether you are a skilled professional pursuing opportunity in the United States or an employer working to bring in essential talent, Sukkar & Associates navigates the complex landscape of nonimmigrant work visas. We prepare H-1B specialty-occupation petitions, L-1 intracompany transfers, O-1 extraordinary-ability visas, TN professional applications, and more — building petitions that hold up to scrutiny and keep your timeline on track.
What Employers & Professionals Experience
Work visa cases live and die on documentation and deadlines. We manage prevailing-wage determinations, labor condition applications, and Requests for Evidence so nothing slips. The result is a cleaner filing, faster adjudication, and far less disruption to your career or your workforce.

Visa Categories
Choosing the correct category is the single most important decision in a work visa case. We match the petition to your qualifications and goals.
For professionals in roles that require a bachelor's degree or higher, including the annual cap lottery and cap-exempt employers.
For managers, executives, and specialized-knowledge employees transferring within a multinational company.
O-1 for persons of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, athletics, or film and television; P-1 for recognized entertainers, circus artists, and athletes; R-1 for religious workers; and TN for qualifying Canadian and Mexican professionals in a listed profession.
The H-3 visa allows training in the United States in almost any field of endeavor — agriculture, technology, communications, governmental leadership and more — but not graduate medical training.
For nationals of treaty countries entering the U.S. to develop and manage a business enterprise in which they have invested, or plan to invest, a substantial amount of capital in a managerial or supervisory role.
A visa available only to citizens of Australia, created by Congress following the U.S.-Australia Free Trade Agreement negotiations.
For Employers
We work alongside HR teams and business owners to prepare petitions that satisfy Department of Labor and USCIS requirements while minimizing disruption to your workforce.
For Professionals
Your visa is the foundation of your life in the United States. We help you understand your options, maintain valid status, avoid gaps that can derail a career, and plan the transition from temporary work authorization to permanent residency when the time is right.
The Process
We assess credentials and the role to select the strongest visa category.
Where required, we handle the LCA and prevailing wage determination.
We assemble and file a documented, persuasive petition with USCIS.
We guide consular processing or change of status and plan for the future.
The Details Other Firms Miss
A single lapse — a late extension or an unreported employer change — can jeopardize your stay. We track deadlines and amendments so your status never quietly expires.
Smart work-visa planning sets up employment-based permanent residency later. We think two steps ahead so today's filing supports tomorrow's green card.
Common Questions
Congress limits new H-1B visas each fiscal year. When registrations exceed the cap, USCIS runs a random selection. We handle registration, timing, and cap-exempt options to maximize your chances.
Yes. Most work-visa categories allow spouses and unmarried children under 21 to accompany you in a dependent status, and some spouses may qualify for work authorization.
We confirm that the nature of the position and your background are appropriate for the H-1B and suggest alternatives if the initial proposal is not viable. We work with both you and the employer on documentation and legal issues, prepare filings for the Department of Labor, U.S. Embassy, and USCIS, and prepare documents for your dependent family members.
The classification requires that you are coming to work temporarily in a specialty occupation, that you hold the equivalent of at least a U.S. bachelor’s degree in a related field, and that the sponsoring company pays the prevailing wage, gives proper notice to its workforce, and is not involved in a strike or lockout.
Often yes, but it usually requires a new or amended petition before you begin work. We manage the transfer so there is no unlawful gap in employment.
