Immigration

When immigration needs arise to support the talent recruited by an organization or to achieve family immigration needs, Vogel Law Firm can help. We serve clients throughout the United States.

Our services include visa petitions, employer compliance assistance, citizenship and naturalization. U.S. immigration requirements are complex. We attain immigration benefits through strategic planning and timely case preparation. We successfully take on complex, discretionary cases and achieve positive results.

The clients we serve include:

• Physicians
• Scientists
• IT professionals
• Educators
• Businesses
• Investors
• Families
• Temporary workers

Our knowledge and experience allow us to plan for several different immigration benefit matters, including:

• J-1 waivers through state and federal agencies, including the Conrad State 30 Waiver program: For foreign nationals subject to the two-year home country residence requirement, we obtained J-1 waivers of the two-year requirement or, alternatively, qualified foreign nationals for other appropriate nonimmigrant status.
• Maximum time reached in H-1B status: When unable to extend H-1B status for a foreign national beyond the six-year limit, we have found another appropriate nonimmigrant category as well as filed an immigrant petition for the foreign national to secure employment authorization.
• PERM labor certification obtained after audit: Through careful preparation and documentation, the U.S. Department of Labor certified applications after comprehensive review of the created audit file.
• Referrals to overcome USCIS request for evidence and notice of intent to deny
