From intracompany transfers to specialty-occupation professionals and treaty investors, we manage the full nonimmigrant visa process end to end.
For multinational companies transferring managers, executives and specialized-knowledge employees to U.S. operations.
The L-1 visa allows international organizations to transfer qualifying employees from a foreign office to a U.S. parent, branch, affiliate or subsidiary. L-1A applies to managers and executives; L-1B applies to employees with specialized knowledge. We handle individual and blanket petitions and the establishment of new U.S. offices.
For professionals in specialty occupations requiring at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent.
The H-1B classification covers workers in specialty occupations, from technology and finance to the sciences and academia. We manage the full process — from prevailing-wage and Labor Condition Applications through petition filing, extensions and amendments — including guidance on multiple concurrent employers and the six-year maximum stay.
For nationals of treaty countries engaged in substantial trade with, or investment in, the United States.
E-1 Treaty Trader and E-2 Treaty Investor visas are available to nationals of countries maintaining a qualifying treaty with the U.S. We advise on qualifying investments, substantiality of trade, and the impact of changes in corporate ownership and nationality on continued eligibility.
A dedicated specialty-occupation classification for nationals of Australia.
The E-3 visa allows Australian nationals to work in specialty occupations in the United States, with renewable two-year terms and favorable spousal work authorization.
For individuals with extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics.
The O-1 classification recognizes individuals who have risen to the top of their field. We assemble the extensive evidentiary record required to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
For temporary visitors coming to the United States for business or pleasure.
B-1 business visitors may consult, confer and negotiate for a foreign employer; B-2 covers tourism and medical treatment. We advise on permissible activities and the important limits on employment.
For academic students and exchange-program participants, including practical training options.
We counsel students (F-1) and exchange visitors (J-1) on maintaining status, curricular and optional practical training (CPT/OPT), and the transition from study to employment-based classifications.
Guidance for eligible travelers entering the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa.
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables citizens of participating countries to travel to the U.S. for business or tourism for 90 days or less, subject to ESTA authorization. We advise on eligibility, ESTA requirements, and when a formal visa is required instead.
