A business immigration lawyer helps individuals, families, and businesses navigate the U.S. immigration system — from temporary work and student visas to permanent residency and citizenship. At Nonaj Law, we provide personalized guidance whether you’re an individual seeking to live and work in the United States or a company sponsoring foreign employees.

Common employment-based visa categories include the H-1B and H-1B1 for specialty occupations and professionals from Chile or Singapore; the L-1A and L-1B for intracompany transferees such as executives, managers, and specialized-knowledge employees; the E-1, E-2, and E-3 for treaty traders, investors, and Australian professionals; and the O-1, P-1, Q, and TN categories for individuals with extraordinary ability, athletes, entertainers, cultural exchange participants, and NAFTA professionals.

The H-1B is for specialty occupations that typically require a specialized degree, while the L-1 is for transferring executives, managers, or specialized-knowledge employees from a related company abroad to a U.S. office. The right choice depends on the role, the employee’s background, and your corporate structure, and we help you determine which path fits best.

Two common options are the EB-5 Investor Visa Program for those making a qualifying investment that creates jobs, and the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa for nationals of treaty countries investing in a U.S. business. We assist foreign investors and entrepreneurs in evaluating and pursuing the option that aligns with their goals.

Yes. We assist with the F-1 student visa, including Optional Practical Training (OPT), and with J-1 exchange visitor and H-3 trainee visas. These pathways can be important first steps for students and trainees who later seek employment or other status in the U.S.

Employment-based green cards fall into categories such as EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3, and many require steps like PERM labor certification and consular processing. We guide individuals and families through the full process of obtaining green cards and permanent residency, helping ensure each stage is handled correctly.

PERM labor certification is a process for many employment-based green cards in which an employer tests the U.S. labor market before sponsoring a foreign worker for permanent residency. It’s a detailed, documentation-heavy step, and we help employers and employees navigate it as part of the broader green card strategy.

Lawful permanent residents who meet eligibility requirements can apply for naturalization to become U.S. citizens. Our attorneys provide trusted guidance through citizenship and naturalization, helping prepare your application, gather documentation, and ensure compliance with all requirements.

While not legally required, immigration sponsorship involves strict rules, deadlines, and documentation, and mistakes can be costly or delay your hire. We help companies and professionals obtain employment-based visas and navigate complex requirements, reducing risk and improving the odds of a smooth approval.

The best first step is to contact our team to discuss your case or schedule a consultation. We’ll review your goals — whether that’s a work visa, investor visa, green card, or citizenship — and outline a clear path forward tailored to your situation.
