Counsel for Individuals and Employers
Our team of experienced immigration professionals assists employers and individuals throughout the United States in a variety of employment-based and family-based immigration matters.
With the globalization of the labor market, an increasing number of foreign nationals are working, training, and studying in the United States. Our experienced team helps employers tap into this vast pool of talent. We assist small to midsize businesses and large multinational corporations in obtaining employment-based immigrant and non-immigrant visas for the employees they seek to hire. A considerable portion of our practice is devoted to filing H-1B petitions for employees working in specialty occupations. We counsel businesses on immigration compliance matters and take pride in helping our clients navigate the often complex immigration law process.
We also recognize that family unity is a critical ingredient in the great melting pot of the United States. Our skilled, knowledgeable, and dedicated team helps U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents petition for relatives who are nationals of other countries, including filing marriage-based petitions for permanent residency for spouses, removing conditions on residency, and other family-based immigration matters.
