Business Immigration

Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor apply stringent regulations when it comes to allowing a United States (US) company to hire workers using non-immigrant or immigrant visas. Unfortunately, these regulations are complicated; this is one reason why many business owners and human resource departments turn to a business immigration attorney to help them navigate the system.

We help businesses with:

TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT

• E Visas (Treaty Trader & Investor)
• G-Visa (International Organizations)
• H-1B Visas (Specialty Occupation)
• I-Visa (Foreign Media)
• L Visa (International Company Transfers)
• P-1 Visa (Athletes & Entertainers)
• R Visa (Religious)
• TN Visa (Canadian or Mexican professional)

TEMPORARY CULTURAL EXCHANGE

• Q Visa (Cultural)
• J-1 (Exchange Visitors)

PERMANENT GREEN CARD EMPLOYMENT

• EB-1 (Priority worker)
• EB-2 (Advanced Degree/Exceptional Abilities)

It is important to work with a business immigration lawyer who understands how the law applies to your business to ensure you are using the correct category of visa to meet your needs: contact the Washington, D.C. Law Office of Bruce I. Yamashita, PLLC.

“Our attitude toward immigration reflects our faith in the American ideal. We have always believed it possible for men and women who start at the bottom to rise as far as their talent and energy allow. Neither race nor place of birth should affect their chances.”
