What a Visa Lawyer in NYC Can Do
With the deepening recession and increasing number of unemployed workers, the U.S. government has become more restrictive by trying to protect jobs from being taken by foreign born workers and by limiting the number of employment-based visas issued each year.
The visa application process, although more efficient in recent years, is now more complex and requires a great deal of time and energy to complete properly. Each situation is unique and involves decisions about the correct type of visa to apply for, compliance with government regulations, proper filing of applications, and proving why a potential employee should be able to fill the position in the United States.

The visa lawyers in New York City at the office of Garganigo, Goldsmith & Weiss have the specialized training and knowledge to handle complex employment-based immigration matters. Our immigration lawyers are aware of the constantly changing rules and regulations as they relate to business-based immigration. This knowledge ensures that companies and employees will apply for the right work visa and submit documentation in compliance with the most recent immigration laws and procedures.
Visas may be granted for temporary or permanent employment. Temporary (nonimmigrant) visas are offered in more than 30 categories, each with its own set of qualifications. Permanent visas, usually based on the PERM labor certification process, can be more difficult to obtain, as employers must prove no American workers are qualified and willing to fill the position. Professions are classified according to a number of factors including the need within the United States, the job duties, the qualifications of the applicant, and allowing those in certain professions to go through the process faster than others.
Due to the complicated nature of employment visa applications it is best to hire an experienced Garganigo, Goldsmith & Weiss attorney to ensure the process is handled properly. Allowing an experienced attorney to handle your application avoids unnecessary mistakes that may lead to delays or even rejection of your case.
