Our Immigration Law Practice 

We represent clients in the following areas of immigration law:

Employment-Based Immigration 

Our employment-based immigration practice includes obtaining nonimmigrant and immigrant visas and green cards for professionals, including: 

Work Visas: H-1B, TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-3, O and P visas, and E-2 investor visas.

Green Card Petitions

• Professional/skilled workers 

• Advanced degree professionals 

• Investors 

• Multinational managers 

• Outstanding researchers and professors 

• Extraordinary ability immigrants (including artists, researchers and scientists)

We also handle nonimmigrant temporary visas related to business travel, including B-1 (business visitor) and B-2 (tourist) visas.  

National Interest Waivers 

A large part of our employment-based immigration practice includes helping individuals with unique skills obtain U.S. green cards through national interest waivers.  

The national interest waiver is a visa category that allows "advanced degree professionals" or "aliens of exceptional ability" to receive green cards without going through the sometimes-burdensome labor certification process and without needing employer sponsorship. 

We have successfully helped many clients obtain their green cards through the national interest waiver category.  These individuals  have made important contributions in fields such as:

•  Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering & Wood Science 

•  Robotics Engineering and Mechatronics

•  Industrial Engineering, Operations Research & Systems Engineering 

•  Cell & Gene Therapy (gene therapeutics & genetic vaccines) 

•  Management Information Systems, Health Information Technology & Systems, Healthcare Self- Management Systems 

•  Systems Biology & Data Science 

•   Information Theory & Machine Learning 

•  Computational Mechanics & Material Science 

•   Ocean Sciences, Oceanography 

•  Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Structural Biology (epigenetics and chromatin biology)

•    Molecular & Cell Biology (autoimmune diseases, rejection in transplantation) 

•  Computational Materials Science (thin film transformations) 

•  Electrical Engineering (MEMS technologies) 

•  Mechanical Engineering 

•  Chemical & Biomedical Engineering 

•  Electrical and Computer Engineering (data analysis, data mining, machine learning and deep learning algorithms for speech technology and computer vision) 

•  Biomedical Engineering 

•  Green Engineering Science and Energy Storage Technologies 

Additionally, we have successfully obtained green card approvals through the NIW category in more uncommon fields such as Stained Glass Art, Periodontics involving laser applications for treatment & surgeries for gum diseases, Astronomy (galaxy evolution and radio astronomy), Yacht design (Aerospace Engineering) and microenterprise learning programs for economically disadvantaged areas, a highly specialized area combining the field of education and small business development for economically disadvantaged areas.    We have obtained approvals in many more fields than those listed above.  We have only provided a sample.
