Over the past decade, dealing with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (formerly "INS") and related immigration agencies has become increasingly complex due in part to heightened national security concerns, as well as ever-changing federal immigration laws and regulations.

With our close proximity to the emerging economies of Mexico and Latin America, as well as Asia and the Pacific Rim, our law firm represents companies, institutions and organizations in obtaining nonimmigrant (temporary) work visas for their top executives and managers, specialty personnel, scientists, researchers, athletes, artists and performers. In addition, our immigration practice has counseled organizations and their foreign employees through the process of obtaining U.S. Permanent Resident ("Green Card") status for themselves and their immediate family. We are also experienced in representing individuals and their families with family-based Green Card application procedures.
