Immigration Solutions That Keep Your Business Moving

From startup founders to Fortune 500 companies, Liberty Immigration Law Group handles the full spectrum of employment-based and investor visas β€” so your talent and capital can go where they need to go.

Why It Matters

Your Workforce Is Global. Your Immigration Strategy Should Be Too.

In today's competitive labor market, the ability to recruit and retain international talent is a strategic advantage β€” but navigating the U.S. immigration system is complex, slow, and full of costly pitfalls. A misfiled H-1B petition, a missed RFE deadline, or a non-compliant I-9 audit can mean losing your best employee, facing six-figure penalties, or disrupting your entire operations timeline.

At Liberty Immigration Law Group, we serve as true business partners to our corporate clients. We don't just process paperwork β€” we build immigration programs designed around your workforce planning, budget cycles, and growth trajectory. Whether you're a 10-person startup bringing in a specialized engineer or a multinational corporation managing hundreds of work authorizations annually, we deliver the same level of precision and accountability.

Our business immigration team has successfully handled petitions in some of the most competitive specialty occupation categories, including AI, fintech, biotech, and law. We have an exceptional track record on Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and denials, and we work proactively to structure your petitions to withstand USCIS scrutiny from the start.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’Ό
H-1B

Specialty Occupation Workers

The most common work visa for professionals in fields requiring a bachelor's degree or higher β€” engineering, finance, IT, accounting, architecture, and more. We handle cap-subject filings, cap-exempt placements, extensions, amendments, and portability.

πŸ”„
L-1A / L-1B

Intracompany Transferees

Transfer executives, managers, and specialized knowledge employees from foreign offices to U.S. operations. L-1A leads to EB-1C green cards for multinational managers β€” the fastest path to permanent residency for corporate talent.

🌟
O-1

Extraordinary Ability

For individuals with extraordinary ability in science, business, education, arts, or athletics. No lottery, no cap, no degree requirement. Ideal for C-suite executives, award-winning scientists, and top-tier engineers who don't fit the H-1B mold.

πŸ’Ό
E-2

Treaty Investor Visa

Foreign nationals from treaty countries can invest in a U.S. business and obtain E-2 status to direct that enterprise. Renewable indefinitely in 2-year increments. We advise on qualifying investment structures, source of funds documentation, and renewals.

πŸ’°
EB-5

Investor Green Card

The EB-5 program grants permanent residency to investors who invest $1.05M (or $800K in targeted employment areas) and create 10 U.S. jobs. We counsel both direct investors and regional center investors on structuring compliant deals and navigating USCIS adjudication.

πŸ“‹
I-9 Compliance

Workforce Authorization Audits

ICE audits are increasing. A single I-9 violation can cost $2,789–$27,894 per form. We conduct internal I-9 audits, implement compliant E-Verify programs, train HR teams, and represent employers in government investigations.

Employment-Based Green Cards

Securing Permanent Residency for Your Key Talent

For employees who are indispensable to your organization, employment-based green cards provide the ultimate immigration stability. The PERM labor certification process (EB-2 and EB-3 categories) requires precise documentation and strategic timing around priority dates. We track retrogression patterns and advise on concurrent filing opportunities that can shorten wait times by years.

For exceptional employees who qualify, we pursue the EB-1A (extraordinary ability) and EB-1C (multinational manager) categories, which do not require PERM and are typically faster. We also handle National Interest Waiver (EB-2 NIW) petitions for individuals whose work benefits the United States.

Common Questions

Business Immigration FAQ

What is the H-1B cap and lottery, and how do we maximize our chances?
Each year, 65,000 regular cap H-1B visas and 20,000 master's cap H-1B visas are issued. Because demand far exceeds supply, USCIS conducts a random lottery in March. To maximize your chances, we ensure beneficiaries with advanced U.S. degrees are registered in both the regular and master's cap pools. We also help identify cap-exempt sponsoring entities and O-1 alternatives for employees who lose the lottery.
How long does the PERM labor certification process take?
The PERM process, including mandatory recruitment and DOL processing time, typically takes 12–18 months under normal conditions β€” though backlogs can push this to 24+ months. We begin PERM planning with clients 2 years before an employee's H-1B sixth year to ensure uninterrupted status. Early filing also secures an earlier priority date, which is critical for backlogged nationalities like India and China.
Can an employee work for a different employer after we file their green card?
Yes. Under AC21 portability, once an employee has had an I-485 (Adjustment of Status) application pending for 180+ days, they may change employers to a same or similar occupation without losing their priority date. This is a significant benefit for employees and requires careful documentation. We advise both employers and employees on AC21 compliance.
What triggers an ICE I-9 audit and how do we prepare?
Audits can be triggered by tips, industry-wide sweeps, or random selection. We recommend proactive internal audits every 12–18 months. Common errors include missing signatures, incorrect document sections, and expired re-verification. We'll conduct a thorough review, identify issues, prepare corrective documentation, and train your HR team on proper procedures going forward.
Is E-2 available to any foreign investor?
No β€” the E-2 visa is only available to nationals of countries with which the U.S. has a bilateral investment treaty. There are approximately 80 treaty countries, including the UK, Germany, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and many others. Notably, China and India are not treaty countries, so their nationals cannot use E-2. We can advise on alternative investor pathways for nationals of non-treaty countries.
How much must we invest for the EB-5 investor green card?
The standard EB-5 investment is $1.05 million. For investments in Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs) β€” rural areas or high-unemployment urban zones β€” the threshold is reduced to $800,000. The investment must be "at risk" (no guaranteed return) and must create at least 10 full-time, permanent U.S. jobs. We work with experienced securities counsel to structure compliant investment vehicles and guide investors from petition through conditional and permanent green card.
