Experience Highlights

  • Short-term need v. long-term strategy

    A Canadian company decided to relocate 45 senior management and R&D employees to the U.S. We held in-person meetings with all employees in Canada, mapped out individualized short-term and long-term visa strategies for each employee, and over a period of several years achieved U.S. permanent resident status for all employees and their families.

  • Beating the [production] clock

    A U.S. film production company signed a famous foreign actor to host a nationally syndicated television series. With little time before filming began, the production company needed an O-1 extraordinary ability case prepared and passed through all gateways to U.S. embassy visa issuance without delay to prevent down time in production. We developed a strategy and timeline with the production company and the actor’s agent — gaining the O-1 visa in the actor’s passport just in time for his arrival for the scheduled shoot.

  • Alternative routes to proper wages

    We have worked closely with university international student and scholars offices, and human resources and compensation officers, who have experienced difficulties because the compensation offered to H-1B faculty or staff fails to meet prevailing wage requirements. We help university clients identify acceptable alternatives allowing them to successfully file H-1B petitions.

  • Creative thinking lessens restrictions

    A European food industry supplier decided to establish a U.S. service facility but lacked an existing U.S. presence to obtain an unrestricted L-1 intracompany transfer visa for its key employee’s assignment to the U.S. We established the supplier’s existence as part of a larger U.S. corporate investment, overcoming U.S. government resistance to obtain approval of the key employee’s visa without the restrictions typically imposed on new applications.

  • One-size-doesn’t-fit-all for H-1B status

    A U.S. telecommunications provider wanted to hire a wireless marketing expert from abroad to help expand its business. The H-1B Specialty Occupation category was the company’s only visa option, but the marketing expert lacked a university degree typically required for the H-1B category. We developed a comprehensive portfolio of evidence to overcome the U.S. government’s contention that the lack of a university degree disqualified the expert from the H-1B category.
