USA Immigration

There are numerous ways in which an individual may apply for temporary and/or permanent status in the United States. The Bomza Law Group US immigration lawyers are pleased to assist both corporations and individuals with meeting the extensive requirements of gaining legal entry into the U.S.A.

For Corporate Clients

The Bomza Law Group is experienced in providing corporate clients with a full spectrum of American immigration services that will facilitate the quick and efficient relocation of their employees across the Canada/US border, either temporarily or permanently. This includes non-immigrant visas, such as NAFTA-related applications, as well as intra-company transferees, and Skilled Worker (Green Card) immigrant visas.

Following our initial evaluation of a corporate client’s short or long term American immigration requirements, we recommend the most suitable visa category and provide extensive assistance and guidance on the documentation required, the drafting of employment letters; the review of corporate documents; the preparation of a complete submission package for the employee; and assistance with obtaining employee education credential assessments. We also counsel each employee as to the procedure for applying for the visa upon their initial entry into the United States.

As immigration considerations are invariably a facet of any overall business strategy, our lawyers are readily available to coordinate our immigration advice with your tax, legal, financial, and HR professionals.

For Individuals

Our individual clients come to us at various stages of the application process. Some individuals have not yet received an offer of employment in the US or are not certain what type of jobs they should be looking for. For these individuals, we schedule a consultation and comprehensively review the individual’s resume, education background, and family situation to determine the available options that ensure the best chance of US Immigration success.

For those individuals with a valid job offer, or who are ready to begin a sponsorship application, we will provide a thorough review of the company and individual’s goals in order to determine the best visa category to apply under, as well as assist the individual with document collection, application preparations, and submission.

Processing Timeline

As the processing times vary for each U.S. Immigration matter, our firm will investigate the quickest and least demanding post to approach prior to filing the visa application. Our ongoing liaison with U.S. consulates, embassies, INS Processing Centres and immigration staff at various U.S. ports of entry, keeps our lawyers apprised of recent changes to immigration regulations and trends at different visa posts. This helps ensure that every application is dealt with in a time-efficient and reasonable manner.
