Services
Business Immigration
Immigration programs for employers who depend on international talent. Our largest engagement is the complete immigration program of a multi-facility hospital system, covering physicians, nurses, therapists and allied health professionals from first petition to permanent residence.
Healthcare employers
Staffing that does not stop at the border
Clinical hiring
Petitions for physicians, registered nurses, therapists and technologists, timed to credentialing and start dates.
Continuity
Extensions, amendments and transfers as clinicians move between facilities, change roles or renew.
Permanent residence
Long-range planning so that key staff can remain, through labor certification and employer-sponsored green cards.
Compliance
Form I-9 practice, public access files and site-visit readiness, with periodic internal review.
