We offer experienced representation for international business, foreign-based investors, and U.S. employers. Our immigration attorneys have served a diverse group of international business clients and foreign-based investors establish businesses, invest in American businesses, or hire skilled labor. If you are a business, we can help you with the labor certification process.

Our lawyers provide advice in navigating regulations governing the employment of foreign nationals, establishing a business in the U.S. or obtaining permanent residence through an investment in a U.S. enterprise through the following visas:

• EB-5 immigrant visas obtained through an investment of $500,000 to $1,000,000
• Employment-based immigrant visas for professional, skilled workers and persons of extraordinary ability
• The 'PERM' labor certification process
• E-1 Treaty Traders who establish a business conducting substantial trade with their home country
• E-2 Treaty Investors who invest substantial capital in a US business that they supervise
• H-1 persons holding advanced degrees and who will perform specialty occupational services for a US employer
• H-2 persons performing occupational services for which there is a shortage of workers in the US.
• L-1 Employees transferred to US operations of their foreign-based employer
• TN-1/2 NAFTA professionals from Canada or Mexico

Although there are many steps to this process, an attorney with years of experience can help you get through the paperwork and make sure all necessary forms are filled out correctly and submitted on time.
A brief overview of the immigrant visa process:

• Submit a petition
  
• Begin National Visa Center (NVC) processing
  
• Choose an agent and pay any fees
  
• Submit your visa application form to the NVC
  
• Collect financial and supporting documents and submit them to the NVC
  
• Interview with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General
  

The length of time will largely depend on what group you fall into. For example, whether you are an immediate relative of a United States citizen or an employee will make a big difference in how long your visa application takes. An immediate relative of a United States citizen may only have to wait 9 to 12 months for the processing to be complete. However, in other cases, the process can take years, if not a decade or more. This is why it is important to have a practiced attorney by your side.
