Immigration

McConnell Valdés represents individuals, business professionals, entrepreneurs and investors, as well as national/multinational corporations, universities, and other organizations which employ foreign nationals on a permanent or temporary basis in the United States and Puerto Rico. Our Immigration Attorneys take the concerns of our clients very seriously and provide the close personal attention that our clients deserve.

For the individual, we advise whether a treaty trader/investor visa is the best option or whether forming a subsidiary of your foreign company will better fit your business goals. For professional organizations, our firm offers expertise in establishing employer compliance systems, exchange visitor programs for business trainees, "blanket" programs for expedited admission of international intra-company transferees, and non-immigrant employment authorization for those professionals in specialty occupations.

Our attorneys also processes visa petitions, extensions of stay and adjustment of status petitions, as well as other requests, for business visitors, students in practical training or exchange, athletes, artists and family dependents of executives and other professional clients. Our immigration attorneys are primarily former Labor and Employment Law Practice Group lawyers who have developed expertise in various areas of employment-based immigration.
