Visa Programs

Three Pathways for Skilled Workers

The H-1B, H-2A, and H-2B visa programs each serve distinct workforce needs. Our attorneys provide comprehensive legal support for all three — helping employers and workers navigate each program's specific requirements, timelines, and obligations.

H-1B
H-1B
Specialized Occupations
Technology · Engineering · Healthcare · Finance · Education

The H-1B visa is designed for professionals in specialized fields requiring at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. It allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers with advanced knowledge and skills for roles that are theoretical or technical in nature. We handle every aspect of the H-1B process — from LCA filing and petition preparation to extensions, transfers, and cap-exempt filings for qualifying institutions.

  • Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the DOL
  • H-1B petition preparation & USCIS filing
  • Cap-exempt filings for universities, research institutions & nonprofits
  • Extensions, amendments & employer transfers
  • Wage & working condition compliance
  • RFE responses & USCIS communication
H-2A
H-2A
Temporary Agricultural Workers
Farms · Orchards · Nurseries · Livestock Operations

The H-2A visa program enables U.S. agricultural employers to hire temporary foreign workers to address seasonal labor shortages when U.S. workers are not available. Our firm supports agricultural businesses in maintaining a reliable workforce while meeting every legal obligation — from the initial job order through final worker departure. We have extensive experience handling the DOL certification process and ensuring full compliance with H-2A housing, transportation, and wage requirements.

  • DOL job order & agricultural clearance process
  • Temporary Labor Certification filing
  • USCIS H-2A petition preparation & filing
  • Housing, transportation & wage compliance
  • Recruitment & U.S. worker displacement compliance
  • Extensions & worker entry coordination
H-2B
H-2B
Temporary Non-Agricultural Workers
Hospitality · Construction · Landscaping · Seafood · Events

For non-agricultural industries that experience predictable peak seasons — including hospitality, construction, landscaping, seafood processing, amusement parks, and event staffing — the H-2B visa program provides access to temporary foreign workers during periods of demonstrated need. We guide employers through the multi-agency certification and petition process, helping them secure the seasonal workforce they need on time and in full compliance.

  • Prevailing wage determination & job description drafting
  • Temporary Labor Certification — DOL filing
  • USCIS H-2B petition preparation & filing
  • Cap allocation & returning worker strategies
  • Compliance support & penalty avoidance
  • Extensions & supplemental cap filings

How We Work

Comprehensive Support, Every Step

H visa petitions are complex, deadline-driven processes that can derail quickly if a single document is missing or a regulatory requirement is overlooked. Our attorneys manage the full lifecycle of every case — from pre-filing strategy through USCIS approval — with the precision and proactive communication that immigration matters demand.

“Whether you are hiring specialized professionals or addressing seasonal workforce demands — we handle every filing, deadline, and compliance obligation so you can focus on what matters most.”

Tolga Ozek — Founding Principal
01
Eligibility Assessment

We evaluate the employer's needs and the worker's qualifications to determine the appropriate visa category, assess the strength of the case, and identify any potential obstacles before the process begins.

02
Pre-Filing Preparation

We prepare all required supporting documentation — including job descriptions, prevailing wage determinations, employer attestations, worker credentials, and any required recruitment evidence — ensuring every filing is airtight before submission.

03
DOL Certification Filing

For H-1B, H-2A, and H-2B petitions, the Department of Labor certification or LCA step is critical. We manage all DOL submissions, respond to any deficiency notices, and obtain the necessary certifications within required timelines.

04
USCIS Petition Filing & Tracking

We prepare and file the I-129 petition with USCIS, monitor processing timelines, respond to any Requests for Evidence (RFEs), and keep employers and workers fully informed at every stage.

05
Approval, Entry & Ongoing Compliance

After approval, we advise on consular visa stamp procedures, port-of-entry guidance, and the ongoing compliance obligations that attach to every H visa status — including extensions, amendments, and status maintenance throughout the authorized period.
