- I-9 compliance.
- Issue-spotting while recruiting and hiring foreign nationals

Immigration policies
We help employers create a corporate immigration policy to ensure the consistent and fair administration of a company’s immigration process.
We also guide employers through the process of determining eligibility for sponsorship; how to deal with job changes while sponsorship is pending; and what services the employer will cover.
As a result, an employer’s immigration policy provides protection and clarity for both employer and employee. A well-drafted immigration policy can also be a helpful tool for a company to retain valuable employees.
