Currently, the firm handles all employment based immigration cases, including EB1 (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability, Outstanding Professor and Researchers, Multinational Corporate Executives), EB2 (National Interest Waivers, Alien of Exceptional Abilities) and EB3 (Labor Certifications, RIR, Skilled Workers, Registered Nurse, etc.).
