Yes. We regularly work with clients around the world.

While many of the clients we represent are already in the U.S., we also assist international clients as they begin their immigration journey while living and practicing abroad. We manage cases seamlessly across time zones and coordinate closely with prospective employers and institutions in the United States to ensure an efficient and well-organized process.

It is best to seek guidance early, even if your case appears straightforward.

U.S. immigration law is complex and constantly evolving, and small missteps can lead to delays or long-term consequences. Early planning helps to protect your status, ensure valid work authorization, and secure future opportunities.

Immigrant visas are for individuals who intend to live in the United States permanently and obtain lawful permanent residence.

Nonimmigrant visas are for temporary stays tied to a specific purpose, such as employment, study, or travel, and do not directly provide a path to permanent residence.

Some J-1 visa holders, along with their J-2 spouses and children, are required to return to their home country for two years after completing their exchange visitor program, as outlined in section 212(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

This requirement often applies to physicians in graduate medical training or to those individuals whose programs were government-funded or tied to the exchange visitors skills list. Our firm has amassed decades of experience in successfully obtaining waivers of the home residency requirement, allowing clients to adjust or change status in the U.S.

Clients can expect clear and timely communication, thoughtful strategy, and consistent guidance at every stage throughout the process.
