Spouse Immigration

There are many specialized categories in the immigration code relating to specific or "specialty" professions. These regulations define a "specialty occupation" as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including, but not limited to, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor's degree or its equivalent as a minimum. Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent and state license, if required to practice in that field. Many of these workers are married and so have an interest in spouse immigration in addition to their own immigration process.
