We consult businesses on strategies for employing foreign nationals on a temporary or permanent basis. We regularly assist multi-national corporations seeking to employ or transfer international personnel to the United States. Similarly, we help local organizations obtain the necessary visas for foreign professionals and specialty workers. We also advise on recordkeeping and termination issues relating to foreign nationals.

We represent companies and individuals in INS district offices and regional service centers, the U.S. Department of Labor’s alien certification units and U.S. embassies worldwide. Our experience includes providing advice about and assistance with obtaining visas for graduates and students, executive and managerial transferees, investors, persons of extraordinary ability in business, the arts, science, education or athletics, performers, musical groups and religious workers.

While Brouse McDowell primarily represents companies across the United States and around the world in immigration matters, we also assist foreign nationals in obtaining and maintaining the appropriate visas, work authorizations or permanent residency. We also assist in family-based visa filings, and we help immigrants obtain U.S. citizenship.
