Immigration laws continue to change regularly affecting individuals who want to immigrate to the U.S. In general, to apply for an immigrant visa, a foreign citizen must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen relative(s), U.S. lawful permanent resident, or by a prospective employer, and be the beneficiary of an approved petition. We represent small and mid-sized corporations, colleges, universities, governmental entities, as well as individuals, in all aspects of the immigration process by preparing and guiding them in all steps related to filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We also guide non-immigrants to apply and stay in the U.S. on a temporary or permissible dual-intent basis. We can speak to you regarding all immigration procedures including I-9 compliance issues.
