Corporate Immigration Visas
Our corporate immigration services are rooted in empowering companies to maximize hires and drive efficiency in international recruitment processes. We will help you realize your business growth goals by hiring and retaining the right workers. Some of the most common work visas used by U.S. employers to employ foreign workers include:
- H-1B visas to employ college graduates who have degrees in specialized fields.
- O-1A visas for hires with extraordinary ability in their field.
- L-1 intracompany transferee visas for overseas companies to transfer owners, managers, and key employees to U.S. offices.
- TN visas for Canadian and Mexican professionals to work for a U.S. employer.
- E-3 visa for Australian citizens and H1-B1 visas for Chilean and Singaporean citizens who work in specialty occupations.
- E-1 trade visa, E-2 investor visa, and J-1 researcher visa for other types of business and employment in the United States.
Permanent Residence
With decades of combined experience, we have successfully navigated a vast range of permanent residence scenarios. Whether you are filing for a Green Card for a single employee or aiming to develop a streamlined immigration process for your mid- to large-sized organization, we can help. We empower startups, established companies, and large multinational organizations to:
- Recruit top talent with extraordinary abilities with the EB-1A Green Card.
- Hire outstanding professors and researchers through the EB-1B Green Card.
- Transfer managers, executives, and key employees to fill new roles that require specialized knowledge and an understanding of the company’s work culture with the EB-1C Green Card.
- Bring in innovators and key professionals whose work will inherently benefit the national interests of the United States using the EB-2 NIW Green Card.
- Acquire degree-holding professionals through the PERM-based EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards.
How Can Foreign Nationals Obtain Permission to Work in the United States?
The immigration channel you use to hire foreign nationals and obtain permission to work in the United States will depend entirely on the nature of the position and your long-term business objectives. Nonimmigrant visas are generally the right fit for short-term work, such as overseeing a project, developing a new office, or temporarily filling a vacant role.
Long-term positions require a different approach, with many professionals seeking immigrant visas, which are green cards, to solidify their ability to live and work in the U.S. on a more permanent basis. Immigrant visas for degree holders, international managers, extraordinary individuals, and enterprising professionals may be available to avoid the restrictions that traditionally accompany nonimmigrant work visas.
Your corporate immigration attorney will evaluate your needs within the context of your long-term growth strategy to identify the right visa to obtain permission to work in the U.S.
How Can an Employer Help an Employee Get a Green Card?
After having supported thousands of employers with employment-based Green Card filings, we consider ourselves experts in this area. U.S. employers have a valuable opportunity to sponsor employees to get a Green Card. The process of helping an employee secure a Green Card can usually be broken down into three stages: the PERM Labor Certification, I-140 petition, and I-485 adjustment of status.
All employment-based Green Card application processes are built upon the I-140 petition, with additional requirements depending on the visa category and the unique experience of the employee. It should be noted that some Green Cards waive the requirement for a PERM Labor Certification, such as the EB-1 and EB-2 NIW.

How to Choose the Best Immigration Attorney for Your Company
Your corporate immigration attorney will act as a strategic partner in your business growth. When hiring an immigration team, it is important to weigh not only the quantifiable metrics of the firm – such as their approval rating and record of success – but also the qualitative aspects of their practice. Are they compassionate and put your interests first? Do they have the acumen necessary to help business- and tech-minded individuals navigate complex immigration matters? Do they create solutions based on your unique goals and growth? These factors play a key role in the attorney’s ability to provide high-level strategic guidance on your complex, sophisticated corporate immigration issues.
