Question 12 • (Zielinski) 28209 Civics 1st Nine Weeks

Oni is a Nigerian citizen who works remotely as a programmer for a US company. The company would like her to transfer to their headquarters in California. With their help, what could Oni apply for?

Answer
A
asylum
B
a green card
C
citizenship
D
refugee status

Explanation

With help from her employer, Oni could pursue employment-based immigration to live and work in the United States, which may lead to a green card (lawful permanent residency). Asylum and refugee status are for people seeking protection from persecution, not for an ordinary work transfer. Citizenship is generally a later step, after meeting requirements such as having permanent residency for a period of time.
