Immigration & Naturalization
The immigration and naturalization group at Spilman recognizes the growth of the global market place and the need to attract and retain top-notch workers, regardless of nationality.
One of our primary focuses within the field of immigration law is health care. Our experience in this immigration area spans more than a decade and includes such things as the preparation and filing of J-1 waiver applications and related applications, the preparation and filing of H-1B and O-1 petitions, the preparation and filing of applications for alien labor certification, standard and national interest I-140 petitions, I-485 applications for adjustment, and the like.
Our business immigration practice group works with employers to assess their individual hiring needs and aids them in attracting, employing and retaining temporary foreign workers.
We provide advice and assistance on available non-immigrant visas, including:
- Vistor visas (B-1, B-2 and WB)
- Temporary work visas (H-1)
- Intracompany transferee visas (L-1)
- Exchange visitor visas (J-1)
- Student visas (F-1)
- Extraordinary ability visas (O)
- Treaty visas (E-1 and E-2)
- Treaty NAFTA status (TN)
Our immigration lawyers also provide our clients with counsel and assistance for employees seeking to become permanent, lawful residents of the United States. Our lawyers guide employers through the complexities of obtaining permanent residence.
In addition to our visa services, we help companies comply with various immigration employment laws, including guidance on I-9 record keeping issues. In fact, our practice group can assist employers in virtually all their immigration needs and will help each client build and retain the workforce it needs to be successful.
