The journey towards securing a United States Green Card can be intricate and overwhelming. One common question that arises amidst the complexities of immigration law is, “Can a family member who owns a business sponsor my employment-based green card?” The simple answer to this question is yes, but the process involved is layered with nuances. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our team of talented and experienced attorneys is dedicated to providing aggressive and professional legal representation. Our firm’s experience in immigration law allows us to guide you through the process smoothly.
Who Can Sponsor an Employment-Based Green Card?
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) allows certain family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to sponsor a foreign national for a green card. Family-sponsored Green Cards are divided into two categories: Immediate Relative and Family Preference. The Immediate Relative category is reserved for close kin of U.S. citizens, including spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents. The Family Preference category covers other family relationships, such as siblings and married children.
On the other hand, an employer-sponsored Green Card, often termed an employment-based Green Card, requires an employer to demonstrate to the Department of Labor that they cannot find a qualified U.S. worker for the position. This process, known as obtaining a Labor Certification, forms a crucial part of the application.
How Can a Family Business Sponsor My Green Card?
So, where does a family-owned business fit into this process? When a family member owns a business, they could potentially sponsor your employment-based Green Card. However, the business must meet certain requirements. For example, the company must show a genuine need for your services or skills, which cannot be fulfilled by a U.S. worker. The business’s ownership structure, financial health, tax returns, revenue, and employees’ salaries play a significant role in this determination.
However, it is important to note that this process is not without its limitations and challenges. The sponsoring business must prove financial responsibility and meet prevailing wage requirements. Furthermore, the Immigration Service and the Department of Labor will scrutinize the relationship between you and the sponsoring family member to ensure the position is not created solely for the purpose of obtaining a Green Card.

We have been in the dark with our case for over 2 decades, while working with other big firms who just kept me in the dark and sat on our case without making any effort to move it forward until I met the wonderful team at Kriezelman & Burton. AO and JP are truly God-sent angels who with their knowledge, collaboration, sense of direction and outside the box thinking, managed…
Highly recommend attorney Kevin Raica and attorney Agata Bigdanowicz. They were super helpful, responded on time, and won my case in record time. It took about a month and half in total for me to get my approval after filing!
Brittni Rivera and her team (Carina Lopez) are fantastic! They are responsive, efficient and beyond compassionate. Brittni Rivera and her team treated me with dignity and respect as they patiently answered all of my questions. They didn't move on without making sure I understood each step. Their work ethic was impressive. It felt like they were an extension of my personal team. I can't say enough to convey my gratitude…
I wanted to share my experience and say that attorney Britney Rivera is extremely competent in her work. I had heard from friends that she was a very strong lawyer, and she certainly proved to be one. She won our case in a very short time, and my family and I are incredibly grateful to her!🌹And a big thank you to her team as well!🌹🌹🌹
Huge thanks to Attorney Matthew for his incredible support on our immigration case! 🙏 He was professional, responsive, and his expertise led to a successful outcome. We truly appreciate his hard work and highly recommend his service.
I’m deeply grateful to God for leading us to this law firm; it is a true blessing to work with such professional and passionate individuals. Their dedication and commitment help make a difficult situation far less traumatic. In our case, we received 100% support from Attorney Andrea Ochoa and paralegal Rafael. May God bless them and allow them to continue this wonderful work. Thank you—a thousand thanks.
I give my total recommendation and trust in this great organization that has supported me and my family in very difficult times, especially the lawyer Andrea Ochoa and her paralegal Rafael who were little angels that God has sent us to be able to face all the obstacles that we have had along the way. Thank you very much with all my heart. ❤️
I have heard from several people that Brittni is a great attorney. When my friend was detained, I recommended Brittni to take his case. She did an amazing job putting together all the necessary information, especially given that we had only a couple of days to submit the habeas corpus application. She and her team worked very professionally and provided clear guidance throughout. She stayed in touch consistently and was…
Highly recommend Jennifer Peyton in federal litigations. She’s very polite and experienced.
I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing. From the consultation to the final approval, he gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process. When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
