Immigration

The Firm’s Immigration practice area represents individuals, domestic employers and foreign clients with a particular focus on business immigration. Our business clients strive to recruit the best employees from around the world and help them navigate the web of immigration and naturalization laws to make that recruiting possible.

The Firm assists with temporary employment visas, labor certification processing, national interest waivers, priority worker immigrant visa petitions, consular processing, family-based immigration, permanent resident applications and records maintenance policies. We help our clients to understand and plan for the delays and problems associated with the new regulations and procedures following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
