Employment-Based Immigration

Washington State Employment Immigration Lawyer

Bellevue and Redmond

At Amini Law Firm, P.S., we have been handling employment immigration cases since 1994. Our principal lawyer, Susan H. Amini, helps employers navigate the immigration system to hire the workers they need. We assist clients such as high tech companies, medical organizations, and manufacturing businesses. As a result of our help, they can bring permanent and temporary employees to work for them in the United States.

Helping employers hire temporary employees

Our law firm helps employers hoping to hire foreign nationals for temporary work in the United States. There are a number of visa types for employees in this category that vary depending on the country of origin, the professional specialty of the worker, and the length of stay. A common visa type in this category is the H-1B visa, which can be obtained by filing an I-129 petition. We help with the petition and with subsequent petitions for extensions of this and other visa types.

Labor certification: the first step on the road to a green card

To learn more about our immigration law services to employers, contact our Bellevue, Washington, law firm. In addition to helping employers hire foreign nationals on an H-1B and other temporary visa types, we also help employers with the labor certification process with the U.S. Department of Labor. This is the first step on the road to permanent resident status; employers receiving labor certification are able to hire permanent workers on E-1 and other visa types after demonstrating that their need for employees cannot be met in the United States. The process is long and tedious; we can take care of it.

We help with all employment-based visa types

At the Amini Law Firm, we focus on providing the best solution to your company's immigration needs, based on a thorough review of your immigration options and business requirements. Some of the business visa types we have helped businesses obtain for employees include the:

O-1, for employees of extraordinary ability

Helping You Find the Best Solution For Your Business and Employment Immigration Needs
