TN visas under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) are also available for certain Canadian and Mexican nationals.

How An Attorney Can Help With Employment And Immigration Issues

The legal system can be very complex when it comes to employment opportunities for immigrants, and it is crucial that you understand exactly what steps to take. Our attorneys can help in many different areas, depending on your unique needs and your specific situation. Some examples include:

Determining what visa you require: First, we can help you find the correct work visa, such as an EB-1 visa if you are coming to the United States with extraordinary abilities that most workers do not have or an H-1B visa if you work in a specialty occupation. It is critical that you know what visa you will need as we start this process. Our insights and experience can help you identify the correct category and the necessary steps to seek work authorization.
Preparing and submitting your application: After you know which visa you need, you have to gather the required documentation to apply for it. This could include your employment history and education credentials, for example. In some cases, employers will sponsor a visa on a worker’s behalf. We can provide advice and assistance to both employees who are seeking visas and employers who are seeking foreign workers.
Representing your interests: You may need to attend various court hearings or go through interviews related to your visa and your immigration status. Our attorneys can help represent you and present your case while working toward an optimal outcome. We can provide guidance on any potential concerns you have or the appropriate responses to interview questions.
Addressing additional complexities: Some people who are seeking employment opportunities have a complex past, such as a history of previous immigration violations or a criminal record. This does not mean that you can’t immigrate or seek employment, but it can help to work with an attorney to overcome these challenges.
Providing up-to-date legal information: Immigration laws and statutes are always changing in the United States. Our attorneys are up to date on the latest changes, and they can advise you on how this may affect your legal options or your chances of obtaining the visa you need.

We have the experience you need and are available 24/7. We also offer free initial consultations, so there is no risk to meet with an immigration lawyer and begin exploring your options.
