Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker)

Form I-140 is a petition filed by a U.S. employer on behalf of a foreign worker who wishes to immigrate to the United States permanently based on their job skills or qualifications. This form is used for various employment-based preference categories, such as EB-1 (priority workers), EB-2 (professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability), and EB-3 (skilled workers, professionals, and other workers). The employer must demonstrate that the foreign worker meets the qualifications for the specific category and that the job offer is bona fide.
