OUR EXPERIENCE

Our client, an e-commerce company, has maintained a long-term relationship with the A&A team to handle H1-B work visas and EB-2/3 immigrant greencards for foreign employees. Upon receiving the assignment, we initiated an EB-2 petition for one of the client's foreign employees, who held a market analyst position. Working closely with the client, our attorney team conducted meticulous legal research, drafted the petition documents, and filed a prevailing wage determination application with the U.S. Department of Labor, which was successfully approved. Our attorneys then guided the client through advertising the job, organizing the hiring documentation, and filing the Labor Certification/PERM application with the Department of Labor. After one year and one month of waiting, the DOL approved the PERM application without any issues. Our client can now file an I-140 petition within 180 days. The foreign employee's EB-2 greencard application has now completed the first of three critical steps.

Our client, a U.S. citizen currently residing and studying in New York City, had reached the age of 21. She wanted to apply for a U.S. Green Card for her father, a Canadian national currently residing in mainland China. The A&A team counseled the client, and gathered all the necessary information and documents to prepare adequate and detailed financial evidence. Upon submission of the application, the green card application was approved in one year and one month.

A, an internal employee, went through the employment-based greencard process. She first received her EAD, then her greencard - without an interview. She is now a permanent resident!

M is a VAWA self-petitioner who suffered abuse at the hands of her deceased husband. She supported herself by collecting bottles and cans as her husband refused to apply for a Green Card on her behalf. After his passing, we assisted her in gathering all necessary evidence and applying for both a Green Card and an EAD card. Nearly six months later, she finally received the Prima Facie Determination Notice. The supporting evidence had satisfied all eligibility requirements for the VAWA self-petition, allowing her to potentially access public benefits.

Our client, Mr. M (who is from Taiwan), had his naturalization oath ceremony in early August. He started at one New York firm on an H-1B as a Law Clerk, and then progressed to Associate after he passed the bar. Later, he got married to a U.S. citizen. He retained our firm to assist him in filing application of his marriage Green Card, which was promptly approved. The two year conditional Green Card coincided with his eligibility to file for naturalization. We continued assisting him and filed the naturalization application. Both petitions were approved at about the same time, in a short period.

Mr. S was a long-time H-1B holder who worked as a Music Director in Missouri. He started the greencard process in 2021. The PWD was determined, and the PERM was certified without an audit. We were able to file the I-140 and the I-485 together because the priority date was current for his country of origin. They received their EAD first, which would have allowed them to travel. The Green Cards came right after, without an interview. Both he and his wife are now lawful permanent residents.
