Providing thorough attention to your unique immigration case
We meticulously assess your situation in order to provide you with an individualized strategy that meets your needs. Every visa comes with its own set of essential criteria, which your foreign national employee’s qualifications must match precisely. Accordingly, it is necessary to have an experienced immigration attorney on your team who can gather the documentation and evidence that supports your foreign national employee’s eligibility. As immigration laws and policies often change, our dedication to maintaining and deepening our knowledge ensures the smooth advancement through USCIS’s complex visa process.
Knowledgeable attorneys help you with complex rules and regulations
Even if your business has just one employee, you are required to comply with INA requirements on employment eligibility. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) enforces INA provisions addressing employment eligibility, employment verification and nondiscrimination. The consequences of an employer hiring unauthorized workers or failing to properly complete and retain an Employment Eligibility Verification Form, commonly known as a Form 1-9, can include criminal charges and penalties.
We are able to thoroughly review and strategize your I-9 procedures and processes to ensure compliance. Our attorneys can also provide you with proactive measures to help protect against discrimination lawsuits arising from improperly handled 1-9 forms under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA).
