Employment Immigration Services For Employees And Sponsoring Employers

Visiting, temporary and permanent workers from abroad often need legal guidance as they navigate the appropriate U.S. immigration laws. Our immigration team at YK Law can help keep your application on track. We also work with employers that wish to sponsor workers from abroad.

If you entrust your employment immigration case to our firm, we will ensure that you understand your responsibilities for providing documentation and adhering to all laws regarding your arrival, stay and work status in the U.S. In addition, we will explain the specific immigration benefits that you qualify for, such as a visitor’s visa, work visa, change of status or green card (confirming legal permanent resident or LPR status).

From offices in New York, California, Texas and several countries overseas, our immigration law attorneys have helped employees and employers through routine and complex cases. Some of our diverse, talented lawyers have gone through the immigration process themselves. Others have played a direct part in sponsoring employees and family members.

Whether you are an employer or aspiring employee, and whether you are already in the U.S. or still in another country, YK Law is well positioned to streamline the process of applying for a work visa or sponsoring an employee.

We help employers who are sponsoring applicants for job offers in their U.S. companies. This process includes obtaining labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Our attorneys are ready to simplify the necessary steps for our employer clients and advise would-be employees on how they can accelerate the process.

Our lawyers advise future workers in the following categories:

• EB-1 for persons of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics; academics; and executives or managers of multinational corporations
• EB-2 for people in professions requiring advanced degrees; and people of exceptional ability in the arts, sciences or business
• EB-3 for professionals and skilled workers in a variety of industries
