Employment-Based Immigration

For a worker to qualify, they need the right combination of skills, education, and work experience to qualify for an employment-based immigrant visa.
I-9 Compliance
All employers must complete and retain Form I-9 for their employees in the United States, which includes citizens and noncitizens. Employers are required to verify the employment eligibility, identity documents presented by the employee, and record the document information on the Form I-9. Even in the quietest of times, immigration law, especially I-9 compliance, can be complex. Fortunately, with a lawyer by your side, you can more easily navigate this process.
