    Employer-Sponsored Visas & Corporate Immigration Compliance

    H-1B Specialty Occupations & The PERM Labor Certification Process

    H-1B visas require a special knowledge and education. An employer can hire an individual from outside the United States for a specific role and they can live in the US for up to 6 total years on the H-1B visa. During this time, if the individual would like to pursue permanent residency, the employer can start the PERM labor certification process. They will work with the US Department of Labor to establish there are no other qualified candidates for the position within the United States. If the employer makes it through the necessary steps and is approved, the foreign employee can apply for a green card.

    TN visa application process for Canadian and Mexican professionals under USMCA

    TN Visas for Canadian & Mexican Professionals (USMCA)

    Canada and Mexico have a unique agreement with the United States that allows citizens to enter and work in the US on a TN visa. This visa tends to be much cheaper and quicker to obtain. Individuals must work for specific approved jobs and must be sponsored by an employer, but if they are able to do so, they can live and work in the United States with unlimited visa renewals. Their immediate families can also join them, though they are unable to work. If you are curious about sponsoring someone from Mexico or Canada, or maybe you’re someone who wants to be sponsored, reach out to our law firm for specialized advice.

    I-9 Compliance, Audits, and Employer Sanctions Defense

    If an employer receives a Notice of Inspection from ICE, they will be required to produce all of the I-9 forms for their employees. Every employee must have this form. These audits can be even more in-depth requiring payroll records, E-Verify data (if applicable), and other business documentation. If your business is found non-compliant, you could incur significant penalties. Contact our lawyers right away if you are given a notice that you will be audited. We will ensure your rights are protected and you produce the necessary paperwork right away. In the event that violations are found, we can be essential in employer sanctions defense.

    Frequently Asked Questions By Foreign Investors & US Employers

    EB-5 Visas are a great opportunity for individuals to gain permanent residence in the United States without the need for a sponsor or specific education or language level. As of 2026, the minimum investment is $800,000 for a Targeted Employment Area and $1,050,000 for a standard area. This amount is subject to inflation and could grow in the coming years. The rules for this investment are that it will be placed “at risk” in a new commercial enterprise and must create or preserve at least 10 full time U.S. jobs.

    If you have foreign talent working for you and you want to start the PERM labor certification process to give them a permanent position, it is important to understand the timeline and how the process works. Your first step will entail determining a government-set wage which can take 2-4 months. From there, you must start a recruitment period to see if there are any US workers available and qualified for the position. This can take 3 months or more. After filing for your PERM labor certification, the Department of Labor will review your application. This can lead to audits, especially in tech roles which adds another 6-12 months to the process.

    Yes! Your spouse is able to work under either immigration status and they are not limited to the primary visa holder’s employer. They can work for any employer and even start their own business. However, when it comes to children under the age of 21, they may not work. Once your child turns 21, or “ages out”, they must transfer to another visa. Talk to our immigration lawyers about employment opportunities for your family and how to handle dependents “aging out”.

    Yes! Typically, you will receive an RFE from USCIS for missing documents, clarification of facts, or necessary additional proof. The notice will include exactly what you need to provide. The deadline to provide this information is typically 30-90 days. This deadline is important because if you miss it, your case will be denied. Ensuring the documentation is thorough and well-organized is also very important. Our lawyers can help you with all of this. We will ensure you understand exactly what you’re missing, we will communicate with USCIS on your behalf, and will put together your response for the best possible chance of success.

    L-1A visas are for manager or executive positions. The focus is on leadership roles. They are given a maximum stay of 7 years and tend to have a quicker route to a green card. L-1B visas are for individuals who have specialized knowledge and expertise that is not easily obtainable. Their maximum stay is 5 years. They can get a green card, but it is typically more difficult. Our lawyers can counsel you on the right route you need to take for your future goals in the United States.

    Yes they can! However, the requirements are strict. For H-1B visas, a startup must prove there is a real relationship with the possible employee, a legitimate specialty occupation that the individual qualifies for, a credible business structure, and the startup is able to pay the required wage. Startups can use the L-1 visa if they have a qualifying foreign company relationship, the employee worked abroad for at least 1 continuous year in the last 3 years, and the US office is a real, operating business (or will be within a year). These requirements can be challenging to meet for startups, but our lawyers can help!

    Temporary non-immigrant visas are given to individuals who have strong ties to their home country and intend to return home after a time. Examples are tourist visas and school visas. If someone is on a temporary non-immigrant visa and attempts to stay permanently, they will be denied. Dual intent visas allow individuals to come to the US on a temporary visa, but also intend to apply for a green card in the future. Examples of these types of visas may be an H-1B or an L-1 visa. Whether you’re on a temporary non-immigrant visa or a dual intent visa, reach out to our lawyers if you have questions or want to determine your future options.

    Yes, but it depends on the exact circumstances. If you terminate an employee before their employment period is up, you may be liable for their return travel costs. However, you will not have to pay for their family members or for shipping household goods. Additionally, if the individual chooses to stay in the United States or is hired by another employer, you will not be responsible for any costs. This only applies if you terminate them. In many cases, the employee will resign willingly and you will not be liable for return costs. Talk to our legal team for help determining your best course of action should an employee situation not work out.

    If you are audited, ICE will likely review all your I-9 forms and ensure one exists for every employee. They will inspect payroll and hiring records, and will conduct on-site visits and interviews. If they find you are in violation, you will incur significant civil fines which can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars per violation. If it is discovered that you are intentionally violating the law, you could face criminal charges in addition to significant fines and prison time. Whether you are facing consequences for accidental violations or serious fraud, our lawyers can help!

    Premium processing can initiate a review within 15-45 days. Once reviewed, you will receive either an approval, denial, request for evidence, or notice of intent to deny. The eligible forms include Form I-140, Form I-129, and Form I-765. This process will not speed up the steps you must take before filing, however, which is often the biggest bottleneck. However, it can help once the steps are complete if you need a faster answer. Talk to our lawyers about how to move forward with premium processing.
