Wong
Fleming provides assistance with nonimmigrant visa categories available to
business visitors (B-1), foreign professionals (H-1B), agricultural workers
(H-2), trainees (H-3, J-1), and individuals with extraordinary ability (O-1),
NAFTA professional workers (TN), intracompany transferees (L-1), religious
workers (R-1), and others.
Our
attorneys assist employers with employment-based immigrant visa petitions, PERM
Labor Certification applications, and applications for adjustment of status or
consular processing of the immigrant visa for their foreign employees (EB-1,
EB-2, EB-3, and EB-4 for religious workers). Wong Fleming also provides counsel
to investors and entrepreneurs on nonimmigrant visas E-1 (Treaty Traders) and
E-2 (Treaty Investors), and EB-5 investment immigration.
We
also advise employers on the procedures and obligations related to the E-Verify
program. We provide internal audits of I-9 compliance to help employers
correctly and efficiently meet their employment eligibility verification
obligations, as well as representation following an inspection of employer
records by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following an ICE Notice
of Inspection, Wong Fleming will work with employers to respond to document
requests in an appropriate manner. Where ICE issues a Notice of Intent to
Fine proposing a monetary penalty of the employer, Wong Fleming represents
employers seeking to minimize their liability.
Wong Fleming is also experienced
in all types of family-based immigration, including
but not limited to petitions for family members, adjustment of status to
permanent residency based on a family relationship, consular processing for
relatives overseas, including nonimmigrant visas (fiancé K-1, spouse K-3 visa,
visitor B-2), and adoption. We diligently research each individual’s
immigration history and prepare thorough applications to avoid unnecessary
delays in our clients’ cases.
Wong
Fleming has successfully represented numerous clients in their Green Card
applications based on marriage or relationship to U.S. citizens or
permanent resident relatives. Wong Fleming is sensitive to the diverse cultural
and economic backgrounds of our clients and their families. We are experienced
in effectively presenting family relationship evidence to help our clients
demonstrate the good faith nature of their relationship that is often required
for getting their Green Cards. We also represent clients whose cases are
subject to fraud investigations, where a good faith family relationship is
wrongfully suspected and investigated by the immigration service.
Wong
Fleming assists clients in obtaining United States citizenship through the
naturalization process. We can help to determine if you are eligible to
naturalize, obtain supporting documents, prepare and submit your application,
and attend the naturalization interview. We can also analyze complex
naturalization cases where there are extended absences from the United States,
criminal history, or adverse immigration factors.
