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 national employee seeking to immigrate to the United States based on their job skills or qualifications. The form is used for various employment-based preference categories, such as EB-1 (priority workers), EB-2 (advanced degree professionals), or EB-3 (skilled workers, professionals, and other workers). Form I-140 requires the employer to provide information about the job position, the foreign worker’s qualifications, and any required labor certifications. The form is adjudicated by USCIS and, if approved, allows the foreign national to apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status.
