Outstanding Immigration Legal Support by Iskra Panteva
I had the pleasure of working with Iskra Panteva and her team for both my J-1 Specialist Visa and later my successful O-1 Visa application for the United States. From the very beginning, Iskra demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep knowledge of immigration law, and a true dedication to her clients.
She guided me through each step of the process with clarity, confidence, and precision.
I can confidently say all the best about my experience with her. I highly recommend Panteva Law Group to anyone seeking a trustworthy and highly competent immigration lawyer in the U.S.
Thank you, Iskra, for your exceptional work.
Iskra is incredibly professional and highly knowledgeable in her field. She was thorough, reliable, and always available to answer my questions. I truly appreciate her support and expertise — highly recommended!

I definitely recommend Ms. Panteva. She is diligent, trustworthy, detail-oriented, and most importantly, responsive. The crew is very helpful and responsive as well.

EB2 NIW successfully approved
I highly recommend Iskra and her team as professional, empathetic, and result-oriented immigration lawyers who hear you as a client and person, see your specific situation, help you with your questions and worries, and always advise you on the best options. Iskra supported us in my EB2 NIW case with the consular processing. Also, we successfully managed to get the waiver of the 2-year rule with her guidance. We had our EB2 NIW interview and were approved this week. This morning we got our passports with the immigration visas in. Wow, what a moment :) If you are looking for your immigration lawyer, look no more — Iskra and her team will get you covered. Many thanks to Iskra for being so supportive and patient with all our questions, and all the best to the team!

HR Professionals, CEOs, and Foreign-Born Workers: What you should know
According to the American Immigration Council, approximately 18% of the labor force in Illinois is made up of foreign labor. Changes to immigration policies have indeed had an impact on companies looking to bridge the skill gap. If you are an official of a company looking to hire a foreign worker, you must:
- Call Panteva Law Group. We will walk you through the complex process of sponsoring immigrant employees, paying special attention to the new processes involved
- Identify the employment eligibility of the potential employee
- File a Foreign Labor Certification on behalf of the employee; this will need to be submitted at the time of petitioning for sponsorship.
These are only a few steps of the employment immigration process. At Panteva Law Group, we will work on your behalf and beside you to resolve your employment immigration case and bring your new, or transferring, employee to your company.
Who is eligible for an Employment Visa?
In order to obtain an employment visa, the foreign national must be sponsored by their employer (or another qualified entity). Additionally, they must meet certain criteria, such as having adequate qualifications for the job they will be performing. It is important to note that, depending on the type of visa, there may also be restrictions on the types of activities an individual can engage in while in the United States. Employment visas are highly regulated and require careful consideration, so it is important to consult with our qualified immigration attorneys at Panteva Law Group if you have any questions about how they may affect your situation.

About Work Visas
Permanent Workers Visa (Green Card)
Some categories of work visas require individuals to have a permanent job offer from a United States employer. This employer will be considered the sponsor/petitioner and will need to file a petition with USCIS on behalf of the worker. If no job offer is required, we may file a petition on the worker’s behalf.
EB-1 (Employment-Based, First Preference) Visa
An EB-1 visa is an employment-based immigrant visa that provides the holder with permanent residency. This visa is granted to immigrants who possess extraordinary abilities and have proven national or international acclaim.
Many immigrants desire the EB-1 visa because the wait time is often a lot shorter than for other employment-based visas. There is also no required PERM process, wherein the Department of Labor must be convinced that there are no U.S. workers who could fill the same position.
EB-2 and EB-3 (Permanent Work) Visas
Approximately 140,000 visas are available each year for individuals seeking to immigrate to the United States for employment-related purposes. With the right combination of experience, education, and career skills, you or your employees could be eligible to become a permanent resident in the United States.
Certain visas require that you already have a job offer from an employer in the United States. In this case, the employer is your sponsor and must acquire a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
National Interest Waiver (For EB-2 Visa)
A national interest waiver (NIW) is a petition we can file when applying for an employment-based, second-preference visa – also known as the EB-2 visa.
An NIW allows immigrants to obtain an EB-2 without the otherwise required labor certification, which means a green card may be obtained without a sponsorship from an employer. The labor certification process can be long and costly. See if you qualify for a national interest waiver.
H-1B (Specialty Occupation) Visa
Through the H-1B visa, employers can hire qualified workers from outside the country temporarily for specialty occupations. There is a cap of 65,000 H-1B visas every fiscal year; those with a U.S. master’s degree or higher have an additional 20,000 petitions. Panteva Law Group can help you apply for an H-1B visa or seek an H-1B on behalf of prospective corporate employees.
O-1 (Extraordinary Abilities) Visa
To obtain an O-1 visa to come to the United States, those who are considered to have extraordinary abilities and have been recognized on a national or international level for their achievements in:
- Athletics
- The sciences
- Education
- Art
- Motion pictures
- Television
- Business
L-1A Visa
An L-1A visa allows foreign executives or managers to be transferred to their company’s offices in the United States in a non-immigrant capacity. It can also cover employees who are being moved to the United States to establish an affiliate office, a new branch, or a subsidiary office. Typically, the L-1A visa holder’s spouse and children under the age of 21 can join him or her in the United States with an L-2 visa.
