Nationwide Service in Business and Employment Immigration
The immigration attorneys of Robert Brown LLC offer comprehensive client service to corporate and individual clients who need assistance with business or employment-based immigration. With headquarters in Cleveland and offices in Orlando and Raleigh, our practice covers the full range from immigration general counsel services to focused advice on complex PERM labor certification issues or worksite enforcement defense. Contact us by phone or e-mail to learn how our experience and focus allows us to meet the needs of clients throughout the United States and around the world.
Some of our clients depend on our firm to obtain EB-1 employment-based immigrant visas for priority workers of extraordinary ability, of internationally-recognized distinction in a research or academic field, or who are experienced executives or managers of multinational corporations. Holders of EB-1 visas enjoy permanent residence status, and our attorneys understand how to meet the stringent requirements for establishing eligibility.
Most employers find that nonimmigrant employment visas will cover most of their foreign recruiting needs, especially in the first years following creation of the employment relationship. Workers entering the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas can later explore their options through the immigrant worker petition process, adjustment of status, or consular processing to achieve permanent residency (or "green card") status, which puts them on the path toward naturalization and citizenship.
Efficient and Dependable Counsel on Nonimmigrant Employment Visas
Different categories of nonimmigrant employment-based visas cover different kinds of workers. While an important function of your immigration lawyer is to match the characteristics and qualifications of a particular employee to the criteria and conditions of a particular visa category, our experience with business immigration allows us to find solutions to visa problems where the usual approaches just won't work. In some cases, we find that family-based visa options will satisfy an employment-based entry problem better than a more obvious alternative.
Examples of the kinds of nonimmigrant entry and visa problems we handle include:
- E-1 and E-2 visas for treaty traders and investors
- H-1B visas for specialty workers
- H-2B visas for seasonal or temporary workers
- J-1 visas for exchange visitors, scholars, teachers, trainees and others
- L-1 visas for intracompany transferees
- O visas for people with demonstrated extraordinary ability in the arts, sciences, business, education or athletics
- P visas for athletes, artists and entertainers
- R-1 visas for religious workers
- TN visas under NAFTA for workers from Canada or Mexico
