We aim to become an extension of HR and Legal teams, and comprehensively lead the immigration strategy and its execution for our clients. While we specialize in business immigration matters, we also work on family-based immigration.
We are a small team that values hard work, self-starter attitude, and hustle. We offer fantastic work-life balance, and a work environment that is diametrically opposed to the H-1B/PERM factories of the large corporate immigration law firms. We work with interesting and dynamic startup and scaleup founders/executives, and pride ourselves in our client-centric approach. We are not a body shop. We are not a case assembly line. We are a fun, tight-knit group of professionals, obsessed with providing the best advice and executing optimal immigration strategies for our clients to ensure they can live and work in the United States hassle-free.
