BUSINESS IMMIGRATION
Our office handles Business Immigration matters as we work closely with immigrants seeking employment visas or looking to start a business to become employers through investment visas. After meeting with the client and understanding their history and goals, the attorney will work to formulate a strategy to pursue the visa that works for you.
Understanding Visa Options
The attorney can provide guidance on the various visa categories available for foreign workers, such as H-1B for specialty occupations, L-1 for intra-company transferees, and other employment-based visas, helping the employer choose the most appropriate option.
Eligibility Assessment
The attorney assesses whether the employer and the foreign worker meet all requirements for the chosen visa, including job qualifications, labor market conditions, and compliance with immigration policies.
Labor Condition Application
For certain visas like the H-1B, we can help employers prepare and submit the required Labor Condition Application to the U.S. Department of Labor, ensuring that wage and workplace conditions are met.
Petition Preparation
Our office assists in preparing and filing the necessary petitions with the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), ensuring all details are accurately represented and required documentation is included.
Compliance with Immigration Laws
We can provide advice on compliance with immigration laws and regulations, including maintaining proper documentation and understanding employer obligations regarding worker benefits and rights. If applicable, our team can guide employers on how to conduct employment verification processes under the Form I-9 requirements, ensuring compliance with immigration regulations.
Navigating the Process
Our team will guide employers through the entire process, advising on timelines, potential challenges, and best practices to avoid delays or denials of petitions.
Responding to Requests for Evidence
If USCIS requests additional information during the application process, the attorney will respond effectively and timely to these Requests for Evidence.
Permanent Residency Applications
If the goal is to transition foreign workers to Legal Permanent Resident status, we can assist with the appropriate processes, including Labor Certification and Adjustment of Status.
INVESTMENT VISA
Understanding Qualifying Investment Visas
The attorney can explain the different types of investment visas available; the EB-5 Visa and the E-2 Visa, detailing the requirements, benefits, and processes for each option. He will assess the client’s financial situation and business plans to determine eligibility for the visa.
Preparing Investment Documentation
Our office will assist in compiling the necessary documentation to prove the investment’s legitimacy, including evidence of funds, a comprehensive business plan, and details about job creation.
Business Plan Development
Investment Visa applications require a thorough business plan. The attorney works with consultants who specialize in creating plans that meet USCIS requirements.
Responding to Requests for Evidence
If USCIS requests additional information during the application process, the attorney will respond effectively and timely to these Requests for Evidence.
Tranistioning to Permanent Residency
For clients seeking Legal Permanent Residency through investment, our staff can assist with the Adjustment of Status process once the initial immigrant visa is granted.
Post-Visa Support
The attorney will provide ongoing support and advice on any issues that may arise related to maintaining the visa status or transitioning to other immigration options
