Overview
As the business world becomes more of a global marketplace and as skilled worker shortages become more pronounced in the United States, employers in a number of industries often have to look abroad to find qualified personnel. Lawyers in our Immigration Practice Group can work with you to develop the best approach for meeting those employment needs within the framework of existing immigration laws and restrictions. Much of the firm's immigration law practice involves employment-based applications and petitions (particularly non-immigrant workers and permanent residents), and related labor condition and certification applications. Bond represents clients throughout the preparation, filing, and processing of immigration-related applications and petitions with government agencies. The firm also provides general assistance and advice to clients concerning the proper visas for employees and potential employees; governmental procedures and pitfalls; and the content and format of applications, petitions, and related documents. Our attorneys also routinely counsel human resources managers on I-9 compliance issues and represent employers facing immigration audits and enforcement actions.
