Family Immigration

 

Lauren Jo Law understands that maintaining family unity during the immigration process is essential. Met the love of your life? Marriage-based green cards or K-1 fiancé visas are a great option, as they do not require an employer sponsor in the U.S. Other family relationships may also qualify for family based green card applications.

Immigration Compliance

 

The labyrinth of continuing immigration and labor regulations in connection with your company’s compliance with immigration laws is complex and ever-changing. Violators of these compliance laws may face steep fines or criminal penalties. Lauren Jo Law can assist with ensuring your business complies with:

  • Labor Condition Application regulations for H-1B, H-1B1, or E-3 employees

  • PERM green card audit files for Department of Labor compliance

  • I-9/E-Verify compliance for all employees

  • Self-employment immigration regulations

Citizenship

 

The last step in the U.S. immigration process is becoming a U.S. citizen, in a process called Naturalization. Lauren Jo Law can help determine if and when you qualify for Naturalization and the rights and responsibilities of becoming a U.S. citizen. The process includes a petition to USCIS, an in-person interview at USCIS with English and U.S. Civics tests, and an oath ceremony swearing you in as a U.S. Citizen.

Representative Industries

 

Technology

A decade of experience working with technology clients obtaining visas and green cards gives you comfort in knowing your company is in good hands. Companies in every industry rely on technology to keep their businesses running. I have experience with the government adjudication trends on petitions in the technology sector, such as H-1B specialty occupation, L-1B specialized knowledge, PERM green card applications, and more.

Professional Services

Success and the profitability of your business may depend on the talent you are able to secure. The financial services, legal, and consulting industries rely heavily on U.S. immigration, and require efficient and effective service. Options for visas in these industries often include H-1B Specialty Occupation, TN Canadian or Mexican Professional, E-3 Australian Specialty Occupation, L-1 Intracompany Transferee, and O-1 Extraordinary Ability, as well as permanent resident green cards.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry often has a myriad of immigration matters including transfer of foreign workers to U.S. plants, traveling site engineers, and high tech workers that can apply for temporary work visas as well as permanent residency. Options include TN visas for Canadian or Mexican workers, E-3 for Australian workers, H-1B Specialty Occupation, or L-1 Intracompany Transferees, among others.
