Immigration Law

Offit Kurman’s immigration law attorneys advise businesses, families, and individuals on the full range of U.S. immigration matters. The team collaborates with employers seeking to recruit international talent, investors exploring opportunities in the United States, and families navigating the process of reunification. Services include citizenship and naturalization, employment-based immigration, and family- and marriage-based immigration. Attorneys provide practical solutions tailored to each client’s needs, ensuring compliance with U.S. immigration law while focusing on long-term goals.

Citizenship

Citizenship represents a significant step in a person’s commitment to the United States. Our team guides lawful permanent residents through the naturalization process, from determining eligibility to preparing for the civics exam and final interview. Attorneys assess each client’s unique circumstances, identify potential challenges, and ensure that applications meet all requirements under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Representation covers applications based on lawful permanent residence, marriage to a U.S. citizen, or military service. The firm prioritizes clear communication and thorough preparation at every stage of the citizenship process.

Employment Immigration

Immigration attorneys advise both employers and professionals on employment-based immigration options. The practice assists U.S. companies in hiring and retaining international talent, while also helping foreign nationals pursue work opportunities in the United States. Services include guidance on non-immigrant visas, such as H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, L, O-1, P-1, E-1, E-2, TN, and R-1, as well as immigrant options, including PERM labor certification, EB-1 petitions for executives and individuals with extraordinary ability, and National Interest Waivers. Attorneys manage the application process before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of Labor, ensuring accurate filings and efficient case handling.

Family and Marriage Immigration

The practice group represents clients in family- and marriage-based immigration matters with a focus on both compliance and sensitivity to personal circumstances. Attorneys handle spousal visas (CR-1, IR-1), fiancé visas (K-1), and related adjustment of status applications. Guidance includes preparing affidavits of support, reviewing documentation, and providing representation during interviews. Family-based immigration services also extend to sponsoring parents, children, and other relatives under the family preference system. Our attorneys work to facilitate reunification while addressing potential legal challenges and ensuring that applications are managed efficiently and effectively.
