Sponsoring companies misunderstand work visas about as often as applicants do, and a mistake on the employer’s side stalls the application just as completely. A work visa attorney usually ends up advising both parties, because the petition depends on the two of them being consistent.
US immigration law lets foreign workers bring their skills to projects run by American companies. We help American employers and foreign born employees obtain work visas. The primary goal is economic growth, but a work visa can sometimes lead to permanent resident status as well.
An Overview of a Work Visa
Work visas are temporary documents that allow foreign born workers to stay in the United States for a specified period. Every type of work visa requires employers to submit a petition to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Before you apply for a temporary work visa at a United States embassy or consulate, your employer must first file Form I-129.
Our law firm handles every type of work visa application, with H-1B visas representing one of the most frequent types of work visas we help our clients acquire. The United States government issues H-1B work visas to foreign workers that have specialized skills, such as technical skills many companies cannot draw from their own workforces. We provide legal services for foreign born teachers, attorneys, and engineers who have developed working relationships with American companies.
Expedite Your Work Visa Application
At The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associate, we understand that foreign workers and American companies have a limited amount of time to complete projects requiring specialized skills. We encourage our clients to initiate the work visa application process long before a project is scheduled to begin in the United States. Alejo Lugo has followed changes in immigration law closely for over 20 years to ensure our clients file timely paperwork and submit work visa applications before United States immigration law deadlines.
