Whitepaper - SB04 | Independent Immigration Counsel

Your employer has immigration counsel. But who is advising you about your own immigration future?

Our new Independent Immigration Counsel Whitepaper explores the issues that matter personally to H-1B, L-1, TN, and other employment-based professionals, including portability, career changes, layoffs, green card strategy, and independent immigration options.

If your immigration strategy has always been managed through your employer, this is worth reading.

Whitepaper - SB03 | Extraordinary Talent & Self-Petitions
A strong profile is not enough. The evidence has to be built into a legal argument.

Our new Extraordinary Talent & Self-Petitions Whitepaper explains how EB-1A and NIW cases are structured, from evidence mapping and gap analysis to expert letters, petition strategy, and RFE prevention.

For professionals considering EB-1A or EB-2 NIW, this is a deeper look at what actually goes into building a persuasive case.

Your company may already have immigration counsel. But who is looking at your immigration strategy from your perspective?

Our new Independent Immigration Counsel Playbook explains how visa-holding professionals can better understand their status, portability options, self-petition pathways, and long-term immigration strategy outside the employer’s legal program.

If you are on H-1B, L-1, TN, or another employment-based status, this is a useful place to start.

Your achievements may already be the foundation of a strong immigration case.
Our new EB-1A & NIW Playbook explains how professional achievements, recognition, leadership, publications, media coverage, and industry impact can be evaluated as part of a self-petition strategy.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your career profile could support an EB-1A or EB-2 NIW, this is a good place to start.

Your work visa comes with more than restrictions. It may also come with rights and options you have never been told about.

H-1B workers have wage protections and access to certain public compliance records. Depending on your immigration history, you may also have options to change employers, preserve your status, or use employment-based green card portability.

But the rules are different for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, and adjustment applicants - and the details matter.

Independent counsel helps you understand what applies to you, not just what your employer needs to maintain compliance.

No assumptions. No pressure. Just a clear picture of where you stand.
