U.S. Immigration Services
TN Visa
Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) (also known as The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)), Canadian and Mexican citizens who work in certain qualifying professions can enter the United States to work temporarily. If you have a job offer from an American employer or your Canadian or Mexican employer wants you to work in the United States on a temporary basis, reach out to us for a consultation.
I-192 waiver of inadmissibility
A criminal record, a prior immigration violation, or a past finding of inadmissibility does not necessarily mean the U.S. border is permanently closed to you. The I-192 waiver (Application for Advance Permission to Enter as a Nonimmigrant) allows individuals who have been found inadmissible to request discretionary permission to enter the United States temporarily — to visit family, conduct business, attend events, or travel for any other legitimate nonimmigrant purpose. If you have been refused a U.S. visa, turned away at the border, or told that your history makes you inadmissible, an I-192 waiver may be the path forward. Reach out to us for a consultation to assess whether a waiver is available in your case and how best to prepare it.

EB-1C green Cards for multinational managers and executives
We assist multinational managers and executives in obtaining US permanent residence through the EB-1C Green Card. If you have been transferred to the United States through an L-1A visa or your multinational employer wishes to sponsor you for permanent residence, the EB-1C category offers a direct path to a green card without the requirement of PERM labor certification. Reach out to us for a consultation to assess your eligibility.
Green Cards for Employment-Based Immigrants (EB-2 and EB-3)
The EB-2 and EB-3 green card categories allow US employers to sponsor skilled and professional workers for permanent residence. The EB-2 category is available to individuals holding advanced degrees or who can demonstrate exceptional ability in their field. The EB-3 category covers skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled workers. Both categories generally require a PERM labor certification through the Department of Labor before filing an immigrant petition. If your US employer is ready to sponsor you or you would like to assess your eligibility, reach out to us for a consultation.
