The following list is a sample of the services we
provide. Many other services are available upon
request.
Employment-Sponsored Immigration
We assemble, prepare and submit to the Department of
Labor and United States Citizenship and Immigration
Services the extensive documentation and forms
required for various types of employment-sponsored
immigration, including the following:
Nonimmigrant visas
E-1: For individuals from certain
specified countries coming to the United States
temporarily to carry on substantial trade in goods
or services between the United States and the
individual's home country.
E-2: For individuals from certain
specified countries coming to the United States
temporarily to develop and/or direct an enterprise
in which the individual is a substantial investor.
H-1B: For individuals coming to the
United States temporarily, or already in the United
States in another status, to work in a specialty
occupation. Must have a bachelor's degree or
equivalent work experience. Individuals in H-1B
status are usually eligible to apply for permanent
residence.
L-1: For individuals who have
worked for a multinational corporation outside of
the United States for a specified amount of time,
depending upon the position. The individuals must be
coming to the United States temporarily to work for
the same employer that they have worked for
overseas.
O-1: For individuals of
extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts,
education, business or athletics, coming to the
United States on a temporary basis. A person
with critical skills or experience may accompany the
O-1 holder on an O-2 visa.
TN: For citizens of Mexico or
Canada coming to the United States temporarily to
work in specified occupations. The individual's
education and experience must be appropriate for the
position sought in the United States.
Labor certifications (permanent residence through
employment)
For individuals coming to the United States, or
already in the United States in another status, to
work in a specified position. Permanent residents
are free to live and work anywhere in the United
States they wish, and to travel internationally as
desired. Permanent residents can apply for
citizenship after five years.
We discuss with each client the implications of the
client's status for his or her family members.
Immediate family members can usually accompany the
client to the United States, and can sometimes
receive employment authorization.
Family-Sponsored Immigration
Children, parents and spouses of United
States citizens and permanent residents
can generally obtain permanent residence. Some may
need to apply from abroad; some may be eligible to
apply while in the United States. We discuss each
case with the client to determine what is
appropriate for the client's family. We will assist
the client in assembling the necessary
documentation, then prepare and submit all required
forms to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration
Services.
Consultations
In addition to meeting with clients in our office,
we offer convenient consultations for simple
questions by telephone and e-mail. We request that
the client fax us his or her immigration paperwork,
then we call or write to discuss the client's
immigration alternatives. We always deduct our low
consultation fee from future invoices for
substantive work.
