Immigration
Our Expertise
We advise multinational and domestic employers on the full life cycle of employment-based immigration. That includes nonimmigrant sponsorship for new hires and transfers, immigrant petitions that lead to permanent residence, and the day-to-day compliance that keeps operations audit-ready.
For temporary needs, we secure H-1B specialty occupation visas, L-1A and L-1B intracompany transfers, TN professionals, E treaty investors and traders, E-3 specialty occupation professionals from Australia, O-1 individuals of extraordinary ability, and B-1 business visitors where appropriate.
For long-term staffing, we prepare PERM labor certifications and immigrant petitions in the EB-2 and EB-3 categories, and pursue EB-1 classifications for multinational managers and executives, outstanding researchers, and persons of extraordinary ability. We coordinate changes and extensions of status, respond to Requests for Evidence and Notices of Intent to Deny, and manage site visits, audits, and investigations. We also guide employees and families through advance parole, adjustment of status, and naturalization when appropriate.
We represent employers in defense and shipbuilding, advanced manufacturing, technology, healthcare, higher education, energy, logistics, and professional services. Many matters involve multi-site operations, security-sensitive environments, or cross-border assignments. We coordinate with global mobility providers, in-house counsel, and outside recruiters to keep filings synchronized across agencies and consulates.
Compliance is central to our work. We advise employers on I-9 and employment eligibility issues, conduct internal audits or guide clients through their own reviews, and assist when the government comes knocking. Our lawyers represent employers during site visits, audits, and investigations by USCIS, ICE, the Department of Labor, and U.S. consulates. We perform privileged internal reviews, correct documentation errors, prepare responses to Notices of Inspection, and negotiate practical resolutions that minimize business disruption and legal risk.
