SilzerLaw Chartered provides specialized
representation in all aspects of United States
immigration law.
 We
realize that the work we do has long-term
consequences for our clients. We are committed to
providing excellent service and personal attention
to each client at reasonable and fair fees. We take
pride in the quality of our knowledge of immigration
law and procedures, our reputation in the community
and our care and concern for the needs of our
clients.
Immigration-related issues can be complex and the
process lengthy and cumbersome. It is important to
us that our clients understand the process. We work
together with our clients to achieve their
immigration goals and to make the process as smooth
and expeditious as possible.
Family-Based Immigration
We assist U.S. citizens and permanent residents
in petitioning for eligible family members (spouse,
children, parents and siblings) to obtain permanent
residency in the United States. We also provide
counseling on immigration-related consequences of
changes in family structure due to marriage, death
or divorce.
Employment-Based Immigration
Our firm works closely with employees and
employers in formulating and implementing strategies
to obtain and maintain legal employment
authorization through both nonimmigrant visas and
employment-based permanent residency. This allows
companies to make informed choices in hiring and
staffing and assists the employee in planning so
that detrimental actions are avoided and helpful
actions are pursued regarding future opportunities
to work and remain in the United States.
In
addition, we work directly with company managers and
human resource professionals to insure compliance
with the all applicable laws and regulations related
to I-9 reporting and verification of employee work
eligibility.
Temporary Work Visas
The non-immigrant visa section of SilzerLaw
Chartered specializes in assisting individuals and
groups in obtaining visas allowing them to obtain
employment in the United States. These include TN,
O, H-1B, H-2B and P visas.
Academic Professionals and Researchers
SilzerLaw Chartered has a long history of
representing individuals who qualify for permanent
residency based upon their employment with academic
institutions and scientific research. We have a
close relationship with many colleges and
universities to process labor certification for
faculty under the “Special Handling” labor
certification procedures. In addition, we have
substantial experience with applications for
Outstanding Researchers/Professors and residency
based upon National Interest Waivers.
International Students and Scholars
We believe that international students and
scholars enhance the educational experience for US
students and thereby enrich our colleges and
universities. Talented international students and
scholars provide U.S. employers with a large pool of
qualified applicants that improves the
competitiveness of our economy and makes possible
our continued world leadership in the advancement of
knowledge.
 SilzerLaw
Chartered has a long history of working with
colleges and universities both in their capacities
as educational institutions and employers. We
regularly provide workshops and seminars on campuses
throughout the United States to provide professional
advice to students on their important rights and
responsibilities as international students. In
addition, we work with international student
advisors to make sure their students have correct
information and assistance and with HR personnel
regarding international faculty and staff. Because
of our special connection with students, SilzerLaw
Chartered offers a free initial consultation to
international students and scholars.
Performers / Artists / Dancers / Musicians
We have a strong commitment to the arts and a
long history of representing individuals who qualify
for permanent residency based upon their
extraordinary ability in the arts. Our expertise and
experience allows us to frame applications to
present the unique nature of each individual’s
career to the statutory criteria.
Business Owners and Entrepreneurs
SilzerLaw Charted represents clients in
application for business-related visas such as the E
and L visas. In addition, the firm assists new
business owners in incorporation and advises
regarding the legal issues involved in establishing
a company in the United States.
Asylum
 Individuals
in fear of persecution in their home country based
upon their race, religion, nationality, political
opinion or membership in a specific group may
qualify for asylum allowing them to remain in the
United States and ultimately adjust to permanent
residency. The firm works with individuals to
prepare documentation to present the strongest
evidence to support their claims for this
humanitarian relief.
Citizenship / Naturalization
After living in the United States as permanent
residents, many individuals make the decision to
apply for citizenship. Our office represents
individuals going through this process to be fully
prepared and knowledgeable of the requirements, the
benefits and the consequences of naturalization.
Deportation and Removal Proceedings
Immigration proceedings can have devastating
consequences for individuals and families and can be
a very stressful process. It is important that
clients have experienced and trustworthy
representation in this important area. Our firm acts
as a client advocate and works with individuals
involved in litigation to secure the best outcome
possible.
