Choosing a law firm for your business immigration needs is an important decision. Millar & Hayes takes pride in our dedication, success, and experience in the field of business immigration law.

- Keep you up to date on information regarding the H-1B visa

Labor Condition Application
Before filing an H-1B visa petition, employers must first prepare the Labor Condition Application. In this document, the employer must attest that they will pay the H-1B worker no less than what similarly situated workers are earning. We can guide you through the process of filing with the Department of Labor.
H-1B Visa Portability
After obtaining an H-1B visa, the employee is allowed to work only for the sponsoring employer. In some situations, however, an H-1B visa may be transferred from one employer to another once the employee is present in the United States. Our legal team at Millar & Hayes is skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to these matters and we can successfully guide you through the process.
