Immigrating to the United States represents a tremendous aspiration for countless individuals all over the world. In pursuit of a better career, education and improved living conditions for their families, many people want to settle in this country. The U.S. offers a well established infrastructure, freedom to move among the 50 states, a free and democratic political system, and a free market economy. However, the ability to legally reside, study, and work in the U.S. can become a lengthy matter for many. Over the years, U.S. immigration laws have become complex as if one is traversing a bureaucratic maze. Unintentional mistakes can bring forth harsh consequences which are difficult to overcome.

An experienced immigration practitioner can lead you on an expedient path to U.S. permanent residency/citizenship, ensuring that you do not violate any terms and conditions of your visa or status while in the U.S. With over 10 years of specialized knowledge and success, in business and family immigration, attorney Reshma D. Parmar is experienced in nonimmigrant visas (such as H-1Bs, L-1s, F-1s, TNs, B-1/B-2s, etc.) and formulating a clear strategy to permanent resident status, through the complex PERM process and other, faster avenues such as Extraordinary Ability alien (EB1), International Managers and Executives (EB1), National Interest Waiver (NIW), Outstanding Researcher (OR), etc.

Services We Offer
Below is a partial list of immigration services provided by Parmar Legal, covering both Employment based and Family immigration law.

NonImmigrant or Temporary Visas These are the most common U.S. temporary visas.

• H-1B (Form I-129) Temporary Nonimmigrant Worker Petitions. The most prevalent temporary work visa for professionals. However, due to an extremely high demand for them in proportion to the annual numerical limits of these visas, they run out very quickly. Alternative visas must also be explored and evaluated.
• L-1 Intracompany Transferee Petitions, a highly beneficial alternative to the H-1B.
• TN North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Applications. For Canadian & Mexican Citizens Only.
• E-1/E-2 Treaty Trader/Investor Visa Applications. This under-utilized visa is especially useful for nationals from countries that have signed into trade treaties with the U.S. and those who have invested in an enterprise in the U.S.
• O-1 Alien of Extraordinary Ability Nonimmigrant Visa Petitions. If you qualify for this visa, it works in much the same way as an H-1B but avoids the quota problems which cause H-1Bs to run out every fiscal year.
• J-1 Waivers. The J-1 status for exchange visitors frequently imposes a two year return to home country requirements. There are several methods to obtain a waiver of this home country requirement.
• B-1/B-2 Temporary Visitor Extension Applications. The application process of B Visas seem simple enough but the process can be complex and tricky, resulting in denials of initial attempts and extensions.
