Employment & Business Immigration 

The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign professionals for jobs that require specialized knowledge, such as engineering, information technology, healthcare, finance, and other professional fields. We assist employers and employees throughout the H-1B process, including registrations, petitions, extensions, and transfers.

Already working in the United States on an H-1B visa? You may be able to change employers without restarting the entire process. We help professionals transition to new employment while maintaining their immigration status.

Many H-1B workers are eligible to extend their status beyond the initial approval period. We help ensure extension petitions are filed accurately and on time.

The L-1A visa allows international companies to transfer managers and executives from a foreign office to a U.S. office. It is an excellent option for expanding an existing business or opening a new U.S. branch.

The L-1B visa allows companies to transfer employees who possess specialized knowledge about the company's products, services, technology, or operations. This helps businesses bring valuable expertise to their U.S. operations.

Foreign companies looking to establish a new office in the United States may qualify for a New Office L-1 visa. We assist business owners in developing strong applications that support long-term business growth in the U.S.

Available exclusively to Australian citizens, the E-3 visa allows professionals to work in specialty occupations in the United States. It offers many of the same benefits as the H-1B visa while avoiding the annual lottery.

The P-1 visa is for internationally recognized athletes, sports teams, entertainers, and entertainment groups coming to the United States for competitions, performances, or events.

The National Interest Waiver allows certain highly qualified professionals to apply for permanent residency without employer sponsorship if their work provides significant benefits to the United States. This option is popular among physicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and other professionals whose work serves the national interest.

The EB-3 category allows U.S. employers to sponsor skilled workers, professionals, and certain other workers for permanent residency when qualified U.S. workers are unavailable.

Many employment-based green card cases require employers to complete the PERM Labor Certification process before filing for permanent residency. We help employers navigate recruitment requirements, Department of Labor filings, and compliance obligations.

Certain occupations facing nationwide labor shortages, such as registered nurses and physical therapists, may qualify for a streamlined employment-based immigration process that bypasses portions of the traditional PERM procedure.

The EB-5 program provides a pathway to permanent residency for foreign investors who make a qualifying investment in a U.S. business that creates jobs for American workers.

Hiring foreign workers involves ongoing immigration compliance responsibilities. We assist employers with maintaining required documentation, I-9 compliance, work authorization verification, and immigration recordkeeping to help reduce legal risk.

Many employment visas allow spouses and children to accompany the primary visa holder to the United States. We help families obtain dependent visas and understand available work and study benefits.

Many employment-based applicants may qualify for authorization to legally work in the United States while their immigration case is pending. We assist with initial applications and renewals.
