Employers rely on Dinsmore’s 100+ years of combined immigration law experience to develop strategies and implement solutions to meet their needs. Both U.S.- and foreign-based employers turn to us to help them obtain visas for foreign nationals to work temporarily and/or permanently in the U.S. as managers, professionals and other specialized employees. Because immigration is based on federal law, our attorneys can assist clients located anywhere in the country and abroad.
Clients appreciate the strategies and solutions we craft to meet their unique immigration needs. Our immigration attorneys anticipate the areas where the U.S. government may challenge a case and reverse engineer it to lower the risk of a challenge or denial.
We advise on issues regarding compliance with I-9 employment verification rules and counsel employers involved in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Department of Labor audits and investigations and Department of Justice immigration-related unfair hiring practices investigations. We also serve employers that hire foreign nationals under the H-1B specialty worker (and companion TN and E-3) program. Because clients often need to bring new hires on board quickly, they appreciate that we know how to resolve issues with candidates’ sometimes complex U.S. immigration histories, and we regularly work with candidates whose educational backgrounds create substantive eligibility challenges.
Additionally, our clients further benefit from our counseling and assistance to adapt their immigration sponsorship policies, practices and compliance programs to keep pace with ever-evolving standards.
