Employment-Based Immigration and Work Visas
United States employment-based immigration cases are more than mere formalities. They are matters of law and require the careful attention of qualified lawyers experienced in immigration.
The Law Offices of Brian J. Halliday, Inc. keeps abreast of the latest employment-related immigration issues nationally and in Ohio.
Ensuring accuracy in permanent immigration records
Simply obtaining the immediately desired result, at the expense of potential fallout down the road, is not satisfactory. The firm carefully analyzes each case individually, creating an immigration record for the client that is clear and correct in order to avoid unwanted implications that could affect future outcomes. The firm provides thorough, attentive, and informed representation by a qualified lawyer at all stages of the immigration process. It is vital not to cut corners, as errors may become part of a permanent immigration record. They may escape notice for years. But these errors may cause serious problems for an employer or employee at an audit, at a port of entry, or when applying for a green card or naturalization.
