Re: HIV and Green Card

First, if your employer is willing to offer you a permanent position, then labor certification should be prepared and processed. If you can't get an offer for permanent position, then at least get your employer to extend your contract for additional three years.

Second, you should look into family sponsored adjustment in order to qualify for a waiver. Good luck.

Re: HIV and Green Card

HIV is considered to be a communicable disease, which makes you excludeable for the green card process through employment. There is no waiver available. HIV waivers are available for asylees and family-based immigrants.

If you fall into those categories, I will be able to assist you with the HIV waiver and the underlying application. Please feel free to contact me for a consultation. My phone # 415-834-1884.
