Family and Employment Immigration
Many immigrants who do not consult with an immigration attorney fail to reach or remain in America due to missteps that could have been avoided by having a legal advocate on their side.
At the Law Offices of Patrick C. McGuinness, LLC, our immigration attorney helps individuals, families, and employers understand and properly handle immigration law issues.
Attorney Patrick C. McGuinness represents both individuals and business clients seeking visas and green cards to live and work in the United States. More specifically, we help individuals who need assistance with family-based immigration issues, including citizenship applications and representation in deportation and removal proceedings and businesses seeking to employ individuals on a temporary and permanent basis.
Services for Employers and Foreign Workers
Our employment immigration services are geared toward both permanent residency applications and nonimmigrant visa applications such as:
E-2 visa: Investor visas for immigrants buying an existing business or starting a new business in the United States.
H-1B visa: Temporary visa that is available to workers in areas that require specialized knowledge (at least a college degree). You must have a job offer from a U.S. company to apply.
L-1 visa: The L-1 visa is used to transfer to the U.S. to work for a U.S. parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of a person's previous employer outside the U.S.
O visa: The O visa is for persons who have extraordinary abilities in the arts, education, sciences, business, or athletics.
P visa: Temporary visa that is available for athletes and group entertainers.
TN visa: Temporary visa that is available for Canadian and Mexican professionals under NAFTA.
R visa: Temporary visa that is available for religious workers
