PRACTICE AREAS
IMMIGRATION LAW
The firm handles predominantly immigration matters. These include employment based immigration (non-immigrant visas and permanent residence), naturalization and family based immigration.
We help our clients to apply for employment based non-immigrant visas such as the following:
- H-1B visa which is a temporary work visa for specialty occupations;
- E-3 visa created specially for Australian nationals and has the same requirements as the H-1B visa in most respects;
- O visa for scientists, artists/performers and business people with extraordinary abilities;
- P visa for athletes, entertainment groups, cultural exchanges and ethnic performers;
- L visa for intra-company transfers;
- J visa for training and educational exchange students; and
- E visa for treaty traders and investors.
In addition, the firm deals with petitions for the following employment based petitions for permanent residence (green card):
- EB1 classification for outstanding artists, scientists and business people;
- EB2 classification for aliens with advanced degrees and those who qualify for national interest waiver;
- EB3 classification for skilled workers with at bachelor's degrees and/or equivalent work experience; and
- EB5 classification for foreign business investors.
During and pending the adjustment of status from nonimmigrant to immigrant status, we will assist clients with applications for employment authorization and advance parol.
Last but not least, the firm provides advice and guidance on the road to naturalization for all permanent residents who seek to become a US citizen.
