Visa Approvals



Introduction: There are many churches that are international in their membership where they have churches based in many countries. Quite often these churches invite pastors, youth workers, worship leaders, teachers and missionaries to spend time in one of the American churches. These aliens will be able to travel to the US under the R1 Religious Workers visa. The R1 visa enables these workers to spend up to five years in the US and from this visa the alien can progress to their green cards. For the most part the alien will need to be invited by the US branch or demonination of their church and that church is also required to have 501(c) non-profit charitable status.

Religious workers play a vital role in the community. Just recently we have been working with a religious Jewish youth worker who will be working with young adults in Louisianna in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Religious workers often choose to work with the homeless and in a variety of social areas that truly enrich the lives of many Americans. Our law firm counts it a privilege and awesome opportunity to help religious workers relocate to the US to carry out these types of ministries.

I’ve created a series of links for your kind perusal so you can explore the various options that may be available to you. Enjoy.
