Experiences

EB-5

Our attorneys are well-versed in every phase of the EB-5 process, including investment structuring, source-of-funds compliance, USCIS petition preparation, and coordination with regional centers and project developers.

We take a strategic, detail-oriented approach to ensure each investment aligns not only with immigration goals, but also with broader wealth management, tax, and legacy planning considerations.

With a strong foundation in both immigration and private wealth law, we provide our clients with the clarity, confidence, and legal precision necessary to navigate the EB-5 process successfully.

E-2

Our team offers deep experience in navigating the legal, financial, and operational aspects of E-2 visa applications—from entity formation and business planning to investment verification, USCIS filings, and consular processing. We work closely with clients to structure qualifying investments that meet both immigration and business objectives, while ensuring long-term compliance and scalability.

With a multidisciplinary approach grounded in immigration, corporate, and wealth law, we deliver tailored E-2 solutions that support global investors in establishing a secure, strategic presence in the United States.

EB-1

Our team includes attorneys with academic and professional backgrounds in science, technology, and business—enabling us to understand the substance of our clients’ achievements and to present them effectively within the legal framework required by USCIS. We craft compelling petitions supported by carefully curated documentation, strong legal arguments, and a strategic narrative tailored to each applicant’s professional field.

Whether you are a leading researcher, a published scholar, or a globally recognized executive, we offer a meticulous, results-driven approach that maximizes your success while minimizing risk throughout the EB-1 process.

NIW

Our NIW practice focuses on representing scientists, researchers, medical professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs, and policy experts whose work advances critical areas such as public health, national security, technological innovation, and economic development. With attorneys who possess scientific and technical backgrounds, we are uniquely positioned to evaluate the merit of each case and to develop persuasive, well-structured petitions that meet the national interest criteria.

We combine in-depth legal strategy with a clear understanding of each client’s professional contributions, ensuring that their application highlights not only individual excellence, but also a compelling case for national benefit.
