The complexity of the U.S. immigration system stems from a basic conflict between businesses seeking “the best person for the job” and U.S. immigration laws aiming to protect U.S. workers while preventing lower cost foreign labor from depressing the U.S. labor market.

However, the government also recognizes the significant contributions foreign businesses, entrepreneurs and workers have made to the U.S. economy, and the importance of a relatively free flow of goods and services around the world. In order to reconcile these two conflicting realities, the government developed specific policies and procedures to allow foreign workers, entrepreneurs and business people to invest, work and immigrate to the U.S.
