Immigration · Employers, workers and visitors

Work, business and visitor visas

Hiring a worker from abroad, working in the U.S. on a visa, or visiting for business or tourism depends on choosing the right category and filing it correctly. We help employers, workers and visitors through the process.

When to call us

Immigration is federal law. Fees, forms and processing times change, so we confirm current details with you.

I want to hire a foreign worker

We identify which visa categories may fit the job and the worker.

I am a worker with a job offer

We explain the options and what the employer must do.

I need to extend or change status

We review deadlines and eligibility before you file.

I am visiting for business or tourism

We help with business (B-1) and tourist (B-2) visitor visa applications and supporting documents.

What we do

Immigration is federal law. We focus on employment, business and visitor matters. We do not handle removal (deportation) defense.

  • Temporary and seasonal worker petitions
  • Business visitor (B-1) and tourist (B-2) visa applications
  • Professional and specialty-occupation visas
  • Treaty and intra-company transfer categories
  • Extensions, changes of status and amendments
  • Employer compliance guidance
  • Responding to government requests for evidence

How it works

Timelines depend on the category and agency workload: many petitions take several weeks to a few months; premium processing, where available, is faster.

  1. STEP 1

    Evaluate

    We review the job, the worker and the possible categories.

  2. STEP 2

    Prepare

    We gather documents and prepare the petition.

  3. STEP 3

    File

    We submit it and track the case.

  4. STEP 4

    Follow through

    We handle requests, consular steps and extensions.

How we charge

We work on a flat-fee basis and quote the fee in writing before work begins, so you know the cost up front. Government and filing fees are separate.
