Some of the services we provide include the following:

Our mission is to provide clients with the highest quality business immigration services available in the world.  The highest quality services include superlative customer service and expertise, attorney availability, creative solutions, state-of-the-art technology and case-tracking systems (www.visatrax.com), flexibility and fairness.

We handle business immigration matters for Fortune 500 companies, foreign corporations, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign parent corporations, publicly traded and private U.S. companies, research facilities and universities.  We also handle business immigration matters for start up companies as well as individual alien investors, executives, managers and professionals.

We are focused upon creating "win/win" paradigms with our clients. For example, upon request, we assist capable corporate clients in developing "in-house" immigration systems. Preparing government forms for clients, albeit important, is usually not as valuable to the client as consultation, strategic planning, preventive maintenance and thorough review. For many clients, both corporate and individual, this model of tailored and intermittent representation provides the best value and the client controls the amount of services rendered and professional fees incurred (see Fee Arrangements).
