We advise employers and their employees on various aspects of employment and investment related transfers to the United States and also assist with individual and family-based immigration. US immigration law can be complicated and its practical application has become even more difficult post 11th September 2001. We can advise on the various options available and the processing times involved as well as the filing procedures and security issues which will affect the timing of each move. Whether you are an employer or an individual, feel free to contact us for an initial discussion of your requirements, free of charge, to assess which categories may best meet your needs and whether all the relevant criteria can be met. The best route forward can often be established during this initial conversation although, in some cases, a more detailed consultation may be necessary.

The information below summarises some of the main categories but it isn’t an exhaustive list – other options may be available. Please also note that this information should not be treated as a substitute for proper advice on specific matters (see conditions of use for more details). Sometimes it is necessary to work with an external US attorney for some parts of the application process and we work with an excellent network of specialist attorneys based in the UK and the US. However, where external assistance is required, we continue to handle everything on behalf of the client so that there continues to be just one point of contact.
