An Immigration Law Overview
We handle a broad range of immigration matters, including:
- Employment based visas - We handle a variety of visas affecting employment, including H1B, E-1, E-2, L-1, O, R, and P visas, as well as PERM labor certification issues. We also have experience with EB-1 visas, EB-2 visas, EB-3 visas, F-1 visas, National interest waivers and J-1 waivers. We also work with employers who face punishment for improper immigration or hiring practices, including issues of I-9 compliance.
- Family based visas - We assist immediate family members of a citizen or a lawful permanent resident with their immigration needs. This includes spouses and children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, parents, brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, fiancee visas, adjustment of status and consular processing.
Relief from removal proceedings - In certain circumstances, the government may seek to have you physically removed from the country - a process known as removal or deportation. In these situations, you may be eligible for cancellation of removal, withholding of removal, asylum, or voluntary departure.
You should meet with an attorney to discuss your particular situation.
